Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that any Social Security

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
APRIL 12, 2005 
Mr. SESSIONS (for himself and Mr. FEENEY) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
any Social Security reform legislation should include a 
‘‘Community Bank Option’’. 
Whereas the Congress is considering Social Security reform 
that allows workers to invest a portion of their Social Se-
curity monies into personal savings accounts; 
Whereas such accounts should include an option that permits 
workers to invest their monies in products, such as cer-
tificates of deposit, offered by banks and similar financial 
institutions; 
Whereas employees of Galveston County, Texas, contribute to 
a personal retirement account that resembles a bank op-
tion (which may be referred to as a ‘‘Community Bank 
Option’’) that has earned interest rates that average 6.5
•HRES 209 IH 
percent in annual returns, with some returns of up to 
15.5 percent; 
Whereas the employees of Galveston County bear virtually no 
risk with these accounts and, in return, receive guaran-
teed rates of return; 
Whereas three counties in Texas have allowed county employ-
ees to take an approach similar to a Community Bank 
Option for more than 20 years; 
Whereas the State of Florida successfully restructured retire-
ment opportunities for eligible Florida State employees 
by allowing personal accounts that have proven successful 
in maximizing participants’ long-term savings and secur-
ing the State’s pension program; 
Whereas certificates of deposit and other products offered by 
banks are FDIC-insured and provide a very low risk in-
vestment option for workers; 
Whereas monies deposited in an option at a local community 
bank, savings association, or credit union will be used in 
that community again in the form of small business loans 
and home mortgages; and 
Whereas the Community Bank Option will help neighbor-
hoods and communities throughout the United States to 
grow and develop: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that a Community Bank Option should be in-
cluded in any Social Security reform legislation.
