Whereas on average, the Nation’s foster care system provides 
for more than a half a million children each day who are 
unable to live safely with their biological parents; 
Whereas National Foster Care Month provides an oppor-
tunity to recognize the important role that foster care 
parents, workers, and advocates have in the lives of chil-
dren in the foster care system throughout the United 
States; 
Whereas the primary goal of the foster care system is to en-
sure the safety and well-being of children, while working 
to provide such children with a permanent, safe, and lov-
ing home; 
Whereas foster parents give children the opportunity to live 
with families and make lasting attachments instead of 
living in institutions, where they face a reduced chance 
for permanency; 
Whereas States, localities, and communities should be encour-
aged to invest available resources on reunification serv-

Whereas while in the foster care system, children experience 
an average of 3 different placements, moves that often

Whereas the Fostering Connections to Success and Increas-
ing Adoptions Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–351) pro-
vided new investments and services to improve the out-

Whereas America deserves a comprehensive, bipartisan en-

Whereas this is the policy that will lead America into energy

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Obama admin-

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
APRIL 30, 2009 
Mr. TIAHRT (for himself, Mr. SESSIONS, Mr. FLEMING, Mrs. LUMMIS, and 
Mr. MORAN of Kansas) submitted the following resolution; which was re-

RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Obama administration and Congress should end the 
assault on America’s energy independence by leaving in 
place domestic energy tax incentives. 
Whereas if the Obama administration is serious about helping 
America become more energy independent, then elimi-
nating energy exploration and manufacturing production 
incentives that have been in place since the early 1900s 
is not the answer; 
Whereas President Obama’s fiscal year 2010 budget proposes 
to cut energy production incentives that will make Amer-
ica more dependent on foreign sources of oil;

Whereas the Obama administration is proposing an assault 
on American energy manufacturing by eliminating the In-
tangible Drilling and Development Costs (IDC) tax de-
duction for manufacturers that has been in place since 
1916; 
Whereas according to the Congressional Research Service, the 
IDC tax deduction reduced marginal effective tax rates in 
the oil and gas industries, reduced production costs, and 
increased investments in locating energy reserves; 
Whereas eliminating the IDC tax deduction incentive will 
cripple independent oil and gas producers in America and 
will not lead us closer to energy independence; 
Whereas the Percentage Depletion (PD) tax incentive enacted 
in 1926 is another economic tool that will be eliminated 
under President Obama’s budget proposal; 
Whereas the PD tax incentive enacted in 1926 is not avail-
able to integrated major oil companies—it is available 
only for independent producers and royalty owners; 
Whereas eliminating this incentive will cripple independent oil 
and gas producers in America and will not lead America 
closer to energy independence; 
Whereas the Obama administration has proposed eliminating 
the marginal well tax credit that acts as a resource to 
support American energy production; 
Whereas marginal wells account for 20 percent of American 
oil and 12 percent of natural gas; 
Whereas eliminating this energy production incentive has the 
potential to cripple independent oil and gas producers in 
America and will not lead us closer to energy independ-
ence;
