IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. STUPAK submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the President should focus appropriate attention on the
issue of neighborhood crime prevention, community polic-
ing and reduction of school crime by delivering speeches,
convening meetings, and directing his Administration to
make reducing crime an important priority.
Whereas neighborhood crime is of continuing concern to the
American people;
Whereas the fight against neighborhood crime requires people
to work together in cooperation with law enforcement of-
ficials;
Whereas neighborhood crime watch organizations are effec-
tive at promoting awareness about, and the participation
•HRES 512 IH
of volunteers in, crime prevention activities at the local
level;
Whereas neighborhood crime watch groups can contribute to
the Nation’s war on drugs by helping to prevent their
communities from becoming markets for drug dealers;
Whereas crime and violence in schools is of continuing con-
cern to the American people due to the recent high-pro-
file incidents that have resulted in fatalities at several
schools across the United States;
Whereas community-based programs involving law enforce-
ment, school administrators, teachers, parents, and local
communities work effectively to reduce school violence
and crime;
Whereas citizens across America will soon take part in a
‘‘National Night Out’’, a unique crime prevention event
which will demonstrate the importance and effectiveness
of community participation in crime prevention efforts by
having people spend the period from 7 to 10 o’clock post
meridiem on August 4, 1998, with their neighbors in
front of their homes with their lights on; and
Whereas schools that turn their lights on from 7 to 10
o’clock post meridiem on August 4, 1998, would send a
positive message to the participants of ‘‘National Night
Out’’ and would show their commitment to reduce crime
and violence in schools: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the President should focus appropriate
attention on the issue of neighborhood crime prevention,
community policing, and reduction of school crime by de-
livering speeches, convening meetings, and directing his
•HRES 512 IH
Administration to make reducing crime an important pri-
ority.
