Whereas House rules allow conference committees to hold 
closed-door meetings that exclude the public and press; 
Whereas over the years, full transparency has not been the 
standard as conferees have met privately behind closed 
doors; 
Whereas in previous years, conferees have met in smaller 
rooms or private meetings and avoided full transparency; 
Whereas the New York Times has reported on a disturbing 
pattern of House leadership skirting open access by al-
lowing small groups of conference committee members to 
meet privately; 
Whereas ABC News reported earlier this year that the $1 
trillion stimulus bill was passed after ‘‘closed-door nego-
tiations’’; 
Whereas health care reform is one of the largest public policy 
reforms taken up by Congress in generations; 
Whereas health care reform will affect the lives of all people 
in the United States; 
Whereas health care constitutes one-sixth of the Nation’s 
economy; and 
Whereas Congress is elected by the people to serve the peo-
ple: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, that it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that any conference committee or other meet-
ings held to determine the final content of sweeping na-
tional health care legislation be held in full public view

bound for Charlotte, North Carolina, and lost engine

best option to avoid populated areas; 
Whereas Sullenberger and Skiles displayed quick thinking 
and skillful control of the aircraft, setting the plane down 
in a controlled landing in the water; 
Whereas flight attendants Sheila Dail, Doreen Welsh, and

passengers for impact in a minimal amount of time; 
Whereas local ferry boats, official police boats, and U.S. 
Coast Guard crafts were able to reach the airliner quickly 
and rescue the passengers and crew from the near-freez-
ing water; 
Whereas Dail, Welsh, and Dent evacuated all 150 passengers 
onto the awaiting U.S. Coast Guard, ferry boats, and of-
ficial police boats within minutes;
