(4) emergency funding requirements in excess
of amounts held in the reserve fund should be offset
by a reduction in appropriations.
SEC. 9. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNFUNDED
MANDATES.
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the Federal Government should not dimin-
ish the fiscal autonomy of State and local govern-
ments over their own sources of revenue;
(2) the Federal Government should not shift
the costs of administering Federal entitlements to
State and local governments;
(3) the Federal Government’s share of entitle-
ment programs should not be capped without provid-
ing States authority to amend their financial or pro-
grammatic responsibilities to continue meeting the
mandated service; and
(4) Congress should develop a mechanism to en-
sure that the costs of mandates are considered dur-
ing deliberations on authorizing legislation.
SEC. 10. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the baseline budget shows the likely course
of Federal revenues and spending if policies remain
unchanged;
•HCON 218 PCS
(2) baseline budgeting has given rise to the
practice of calculating policy changes from an in-
flated spending level; and
(3) the baseline concept has been misused to
portray policies that would simply slow down the in-
crease in spending as spending reductions.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that—
(1) the President should submit a budget that
compares proposed spending levels for the budget
year with the current year; and
(2) the starting point for deliberations on a
budget resolution should be the current year.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 25, 1993
Mr. MACHTLEY submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that any health care
reform legislation that is enacted to meet the health
care needs of the people of the United States should
emphasize disease prevention and encourage the develop-
ment of healthy lifestyles.
Whereas medicine in the United States is beginning to em-
phasize the prevention of disease and the development of
healthy lifestyles;
Whereas more businesses are promoting disease prevention,
healthy lifestyles, and good nutrition through wellness
programs than did so in the past;
•HCON 21 IH
Whereas the goal of wellness programs is to help individuals
develop healthier personal habits and to decrease health
care costs in the long run;
Whereas wellness programs have definite financial advantages
to business and industry;
Whereas businesses could save on insurance premiums and
reduce the number of health insurance claims filed by
their employees if the employees would participate in a
wellness program;
Whereas wellness programs lead to reduced absenteeism and
increased productivity in the workplace;
Whereas, in a recent poll, 78 percent of the employers that
were surveyed responded that they used wellness pro-
grams to promote good health in their employees and 89
percent responded that they planned to increase their
commitment to health promotion during the 5 years fol-
lowing the survey; and
Whereas it is estimated that 70 percent of companies in the
United States with a work force that exceeds 1,000 em-
ployees offer some type of wellness program for employ-
ees: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that any
health care reform legislation that is enacted to meet the
health care needs of the people of the United States should
emphasize disease prevention and encourage the develop-
ment of healthy lifestyles.

Expressing the sense of the Congress on the need for accurate guidelines

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 9, 1994
Ms. SNOWE (for herself and Mr. SCHIFF) submitted the following concurrent
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress on the need for accu-
rate guidelines for breast cancer screening for women
ages 40–49.
Whereas the National Cancer Institute is the lead Federal
agency for research on the causes, prevention, diagnosis
and treatment of cancer;
Whereas health professionals and consumers throughout the
Nation regard their guidelines as reliable scientific and
medical advice;
Whereas it has been proven that intervention with routine
screening for breast cancer with mammography can save
women’s lives at a time when we are unable to prevent
this disease;
H.L.C.
•HCON 220 IH
Whereas there are limitations to evaluating the efficacy of
mammography in a 5–10 year age range of women in ex-
isting studies designed to test mortality reduction from
breast cancer in a 25–30 year age range;
Whereas there were numerous shortcomings in a Canadian
study designed to address mortality reduction from
breast cancer in the 40–49 age range;
Whereas to date, it is not possible to have the same degree
of scientific confidence about the benefit of mammog-
raphy for women ages 40–49 as exists for women ages
50–69 due to inherent limitations in the studies that
have been conducted;
Whereas meta-analysis (combining the results of several stud-
ies) is sometimes useful, the studies used to reach the
National Cancer Institute’s conclusions were not easily
combined because of variations in design, technology,
screening interval, the inclusion or exclusion of clinical
breast examination and quality;
Whereas the existing clinical trial data are inadequate to pro-
vide a definite answer to the efficacy of early detection
in the 40–49 age group and there has been a dramatic
change in technology during the 30-year period since the
initiation of the first study of breast cancer screening;
Whereas approximately 80 percent of women who are diag-
nosed with breast cancer have ‘‘no’’ identifiable risk for
this disease;
Whereas breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death
among women in the age group 15–54;
Whereas the American Cancer Society and 21 other national
medical organizations, health and consumer groups are at
variance with the recently rescinded guideline of the Na-
(1) ADULTS.—Individuals 18 years of age or 
older determined (in a manner specified by the

assistance of an individual, at least 2 of the fol-

similar level of disability due to cognitive im-

(i) bathing; 
(ii) eating; 
(iii) dressing; 
(iv) toileting; and 
(v) transferring in and out of a bed or

(B) due to cognitive or mental impair-
ments, to require supervision because the indi-
vidual behaves in a manner that poses health or 
safety hazards to himself or herself or others; 
or 
(C) due to cognitive or mental impair-

tional Cancer Institute for mammography for women
ages 40–49; and
Whereas the statement on breast cancer screening issued by
the National Cancer Institute on December 3, 1993, will
cause widespread confusion and concern among women
and physicians, erode confidence in mammography and
reinforce barriers and negative attitudes that keep women
of all ages from being screened: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) adequately designed and conducted studies
are needed to determine the benefit of screening
women ages 40–49 through mammography and
other emerging technologies;
(2) the National Cancer Institute’s guidelines
on breast cancer screening should clearly state that
the uncertainty of evidence for women in this age
group is due to the limitations of existing studies;
and
(3) the National Cancer Institute should re-
scind its recent statement for mammography screen-
ing of women ages 40–49, and continue to issue
guidelines when clear evidence warrants a change.

referred to the Committee on ‘*Ù I-)≈I)G +I-Ö G√*)G
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Declaring the sense of Congress with respect to studies and
research involving the legalization of drugs.
Whereas the sale, possession and use of drugs pose a perva-
sive and substantial threat to the social, educational, and
economic health of the United States;
Whereas the impact of drug abuse is reflected in the violence
that it causes and in the disintegration of families,
schools, and neighborhoods;
Whereas the effects of rampant drug use is amply illustrated
by national violent crime statistics across the United
States;
H.L.C.
Whereas the overwhelming majority of health care and law
enforcement experts agree that drug legalization would
have disastrous consequences for the people of the United
States; and
Whereas recent studies demonstrate that drug use by young
people is on the rise in the United States: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), that it is the sense of Congress that no de-
partment or agency of the United States Government
should conduct or finance, in whole or in part, any study
or research involving the legalization of drugs.
