IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 26, 2009 
Mr. TIAHRT (for himself, Mr. CARTER, Mr. MACK, Mr. PAUL, Mr. SHIMKUS,

BARTLETT, and Mr. MORAN of Kansas) submitted the following resolu-
tion; which was referred to the Committee on Financial Services 
RESOLUTION 
Providing that the Congress should stop passing massive 
Government bailouts. 
Whereas financial markets have been saturated with well over 
a trillion dollars from the Government ranging from the 
bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at $200 billion, 
Bear Stearns at $29 billion, AIG at $85 billion; Wall 
Street at $700 billion, the automakers at $25 billion, and 
Citigroup at $247.5 billion; 
Whereas, in 2008, total Federal spending increased by 11 
percent to nearly $3 trillion; 
Whereas Congress should not rely on the same failed eco-
nomic policies of the past;

•HRES 199 IH 
Whereas, by looking in the past, we see the massive spending 
initiatives that occurred during the 1930s and 1970s 
failed to produce economic growth; 
Whereas the Government has a role in helping ensure Amer-
ican workers and industries are free to prosper, but these 
bailouts are nothing more than a mere band-aid that con-
tinues to follow a pattern of throwing more taxpayer 
money at a problem instead of addressing the root causes 
of the problem; and 
Whereas Congress should address fundamental reforms to 
help American workers and businesses achieve long-term 
prosperity through incentives for private-sector solutions 
instead of Government involvement: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that Congress should stop passing massive 
Government bailouts.

were brutally murdered in the attacks of September 11, 
2001;

Whereas Beverly Eckert was instrumental in the development 
and growth of this important advocacy group, which now 
claims more than 5,500 members; 
Whereas Beverly Eckert worked admirably with the 110th 
Congress and was a key proponent in the final passage

tuate the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission to 
prevent, prepare, and respond to acts of terrorism; and

Whereas breakfast program participants under the Child Nu-

middle, and high schools, as well as rural, suburban, and 
urban schools; 
Whereas at least 16,000 schools that participate in the Na-
tional School Lunch Program do not participate in the 
National School Breakfast Program; 
Whereas in fiscal year 2008, 8,520,000 students in the 
United States consumed free or reduced-price school 
breakfasts provided under the national school breakfast 
program established by section 4 of the Child Nutrition 
Act of 1966; 
Whereas less than half of the low-income students who par-
ticipate in the National School Lunch Program also par-
ticipate in the school breakfast program; 
Whereas in fiscal year 2008, 60 percent of school lunches 
served, and 80 percent of school breakfasts served, were 
served to students who qualified for free or reduced 
priced meals; 
Whereas the current economic situation, including the in-
crease of nearly 3 percent in the national unemployment
•HRES 210 EH 
rate in 2008, is causing more families to struggle to feed 
their children and to turn to schools for assistance; 
Whereas implementing or improving classroom breakfast pro-
grams have been shown to increase the participation of 
eligible students in breakfast consumption dramatically, 
doubling, and in some cases tripling, numbers, as evi-
denced by research in Minnesota, New York, and Wis-
consin; 
Whereas making breakfast widely available through different 
venues or a combination thereof, such as in the class-
room, obtained as students exit their school bus, or out-
side the classroom, has been shown to lessen the stigma 
of receiving free or reduced-price breakfast, which often 
prevents eligible students from obtaining traditional 
breakfast in the cafeteria; 
Whereas providing free universal breakfast, especially in the 
classroom, has been shown to significantly increase school 
breakfast participation rates and decrease absences and 
tardiness; 
Whereas studies have shown that access to nutritious pro-
grams such as the National School Lunch Program and 
National School Breakfast Program helps to create a 
strong learning environment for children and helps to im-
prove children’s concentration in the classroom; 
Whereas providing breakfast in the classroom has been shown 
in several instances to improve attentiveness and aca-
demic performance, while reducing tardiness and discipli-
nary referrals; 
Whereas students who eat a complete breakfast have been 
shown to make fewer mistakes and work faster in math 
exercises than those who eat a partial breakfast;

Whereas studies suggest that eating breakfast closer to class-
room and test-taking time improves student performance 
on standardized tests relative to students who skip break-
fast; 
Whereas studies show that students who skip breakfast are 
more likely to have difficulty distinguishing among simi-

ory recall; 
Whereas children who live in families that experience hunger 
have been shown to be more likely to have lower math 
scores, face an increased likelihood of repeating a grade, 
and receive more special education services; 
Whereas studies suggest that children who eat breakfast have 
more adequate nutrition and intake of nutrients, such as 
calcium, fiber, protein, and vitamins A, E, D, and B–6; 
Whereas studies show that children who participate in school 
breakfast programs eat more fruits, drink more milk, and

breakfast;
