CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a commemorative
postage stamp should be issued honoring Martha Matilda
Harper, and that the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Com-
mittee should recommend to the Postmaster General that
such a stamp be issued.
Whereas Martha Matilda Harper, after spending much of the
first 25 years of her life as a domestic servant, opened
the Harper Method Shops and School, a health-conscious
•HCON 38 IH
hair and skin care store in Rochester, New York, in
1888;
Whereas Martha Matilda Harper subsequently expanded the
business to include 2 international manufacturing cen-
ters, 5 training schools, and over 500 beauty shops
around the world;
Whereas Martha Matilda Harper shared the opportunity of
business ownership with former servant women, and cre-
ated the first franchise business model;
Whereas customers of Harper shops included world leaders,
socialites, and suffragists, such as Presidents Woodrow
Wilson and Calvin Coolidge, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Prime
Minister Anthony Eden, First Ladies Jacqueline Ken-
nedy and Lady Bird Johnson, and Susan B. Anthony;
Whereas Martha Matilda Harper’s 19th century management
practices, which included a customer-oriented focus, an
equitable relationship with staff, a childcare center in
each shop, and the manufacture and promotion of or-
ganic products and procedures, would be contemporary
by today’s standards;
Whereas franchising now dominates retail business (with a
new franchise opening every 8 minutes) and generates
more than $1,000,000,000,000 in revenues annually; and
Whereas, for her accomplishments, Martha Matilda Harper
has been referred to by some as the ‘‘mother of fran-
chising’’: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) a commemorative postage stamp should be
issued honoring Martha Matilda Harper; and
•HCON 38 IH
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee

To protect private decisions about marriage.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
APRIL 30, 2002
Mr. STARK submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Education and the Workforce
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
To protect private decisions about marriage.
Whereas the decision to get married is a private decision be-
tween two adults in which no government interference is
warranted;
Whereas 79 percent of Americans believe the government
should not develop programs to encourage people to
marry or remain married, according to a study by the
Pew Research Center;
Whereas 66 percent of Americans who identify themselves as
strongly religious believe the government should not de-
velop programs to encourage people to marry or remain
married, according to the same study by the Pew Re-
search Center;
Whereas, according to a report by the Department of Justice
and the Department of Health and Human Services, 25
•HCON 392 IH
percent of women said they have been raped or physically
assaulted by their current or former spouse, cohabitating
partner, or date, so encouraging and coercing them or
their children back into these relationships may cause
them mental and physical harm;
Whereas research shows that as many as 60 percent of
women on welfare have suffered from domestic violence
as adults, so encouraging or coercing them back into
these relationships may cause them mental and physical
harm;
Whereas the Congress should seek to promote safe and stable
families as a part of the Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) program reauthorization; and
Whereas no research exists to indicate that marriage pro-
motion helps raise poor people out of poverty, while
ample evidence indicates that better health care, child
care, and job training services do help raise poor families
out of poverty: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that gov-
ernment not be used to influence, promote, or coerce indi-
viduals’ private decisions regarding marriage.

Expressing the sense of Congress that the Nation should take additional
steps to ensure the prevention of teen pregnancy by engaging in measures
to educate teenagers as to why they should stop and think about the
negative consequences before engaging in premature sexual activity.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 1, 2002
Mrs. CLAYTON (for herself, Mr. CASTLE, Ms. PRYCE of Ohio, Mr. TOWNS, Mr.
SHAYS, and Mr. CAMP) submitted the following concurrent resolution;
which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that the Nation should
take additional steps to ensure the prevention of teen
pregnancy by engaging in measures to educate teenagers
as to why they should stop and think about the negative
consequences before engaging in premature sexual activ-
ity.
Whereas 4 in 10 girls in the United States will become preg-
nant before the age of 20;
Whereas childbearing by teenagers costs taxpayers at least
$7,000,000,000 each year in direct costs associated with
health care, foster care, criminal justice, and public as-
sistance;
•HCON 393 IH
Whereas the United States has the highest rates of teenage
pregnancy and birth in the industrialized world;
Whereas more than half of all mothers on welfare had their
first child as a teenager;
Whereas 80 percent of births to teenagers are to unmarried
teenagers, and teenage mothers have more children, on
average, than women who delay childbearing, which
makes it more difficult for them and their children to es-
cape a life of poverty;
Whereas teenagers who give birth are less likely to complete
high school and to go on to college, thereby reducing
their potential for economic self-sufficiency; and
Whereas the children of teenage mothers are more likely to
be born prematurely and at low birth-weight, and suffer
from higher rates of abuse and neglect than other chil-
dren: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that the Na-
tion should take additional steps to ensure the prevention
of teen pregnancy by engaging in measures to educate
teenagers as to why they should stop and think about the
negative consequences before engaging in premature sex-
ual activity.
