Recognizing the efforts of the National Association of Letter Carriers for

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 29, 2000
Ms. LOFGREN submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Agriculture
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the efforts of the National Association of Letter
Carriers for its annual food drive.
Whereas this Nation, so great in wealth and prosperity, is
still the home for 30 million men, women, and children
who have neither wealth nor prosperity and who suffer
daily from hunger;
Whereas food donations across the Nation traditionally de-
cline sharply during the spring and summer months and
endanger the millions of people who depend on these con-
tributions;
Whereas the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC),
having recognized this crisis, began its national food
drive some eight years ago and collected millions of
pounds of food every year since;
•HRES 452 IH
Whereas in 1999, more than 1,500 local NALC branches in
more than 10,000 cities and towns across the United
States performed the extraordinary feat of collecting 58.4
million pounds of food for the needy;
Whereas the eighth annual NALC Food Drive will take place
on Saturday, May 13, 2000;
Whereas 95 million postcards will arrive at homes across the
United States during the week before the drive urging
donations by postal customers;
Whereas this national effort to ‘‘Stamp Out Hunger’’ is the
world’s largest single-day food drive and the largest sin-
gle volunteer event in America each year;
Whereas letter carriers will be collecting food as well as mail
at mailboxes across the country, performing their daily
job and collecting food for the hungry, come rain or
shine; and
Whereas the NALC food drive will greatly help the millions
of Americans who depend on food banks across the Na-
tion and should serve as a model of the level of effort and
dedication needed to combat the hunger that ravages the
country: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) congratulates the members of the National
Association of Letter Carriers for their hard work on
behalf of the millions of Americans who go hungry
each day; and
(2) encourages all Americans to follow their ex-
ample and donate food to the hungry and to this

food drive on May 13, 2000, by placing nonperish-
able food by their mailboxes.
