RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the Congress and the President should undertake the
Social Security Guarantee Initiative to strengthen and
protect the retirement income security of all Americans
through the creation of a fair and modern Social Security
Program for the 21st century.
Whereas the social security program provides benefits to
44,000,000 Americans, including more than 27,000,000
retirees, 
5,000,000 
people 
with 
disabilities, 
and
2,000,000 surviving children, and is essential to the dig-
nity and security of the Nation’s elderly, disabled, and
their families;
•∞HRES 48 IH
Whereas the social security program’s progressive benefit
structure is of particular importance to women, due to
their (1) longer life expectancies than men, making social
security’s lifetime, inflation-adjusted benefits a critical in-
come support especially for widows; (2) lower average
earnings; and (3) lower pension and other retirement sav-
ings, stemming in part from their lower incomes and
their spending an average of 11 years out of the paid
workforce caring for families;
Whereas the approaching retirement of the Baby Boom Gen-
eration will result in the social security program’s benefit
costs exceeding its tax revenues beginning in 2013;
Whereas the social security program faces looming insolvency
and instability in the next century so that by 2032 the
Social Security Trust Funds will be fully depleted and
the program will be able to honor less than 75 percent
of benefit commitments; and
Whereas prompt action is necessary to restore Americans’
confidence that their retirement benefits will be pro-
tected: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Congress and the President should
strengthen and protect the retirement income security of
all Americans through the creation of a fair and modern
social security program for the 21st century that—
(1) ensures equal treatment across generations
to all Americans, especially minorities;
(2) recognizes the unique obstacles that women
face in ensuring retirement, disability, and survivor

security and the essential role that social security
plays in protecting financial stability for women;
(3) provides a continuous benefit safety net for
workers, their survivors, and individuals with disabil-
ities; and
(4) protects guaranteed benefits for current re-
tirees and those nearing retirement.
