their communities across the Nation and are important 
members of American society; 
Whereas we must honor and express our sincere gratitude to

Whereas the observance of Veterans Day is an expression of 
faith in democracy, faith in American values, and faith

H. Res. 900 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
March 21, 2010. 
Whereas the Cold War involved hundreds of military exercises 
and operations that occurred between September 2, 1945, 
and December 26, 1991; 
Whereas millions of Americans valiantly stood watch as mem-
bers of the Armed Forces during the Cold War; and 
Whereas many Americans sacrificed their lives during the 
Cold War in the cause of defeating communism and pro-
moting world peace and stability: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) honors the sacrifices and contributions made by 
members of the Armed Forces during the Cold War; and 
(2) encourages the people of the United States to 
participate in local and national activities honoring the 
sacrifices and contributions of those individuals. 
Attest: 
Clerk.
H. Res. 901 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
February 3, 2010. 
Whereas, in 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that segregated 
schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th 
amendment to the Constitution; 
Whereas Judge J. Skelly Wright, of the United States Dis-
trict Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, ordered 
the Orleans Parish School Board to develop a school de-
segregation plan in 1956 and, after years of delay, in 
1960, ordered the Orleans Parish School Board to carry 
out a plan designed by the United States District Court 
for the Eastern District of Louisiana; 
Whereas 6 years after the Brown v. Board of Education (347 
U.S. 483) decision, on November 14, 1960, Ruby 
Bridges, at the age of 6, became the first African-Amer-
ican student to attend the all-white William Frantz Ele-
mentary School in New Orleans, Louisiana; 
Whereas Ruby Bridges had the courage to attend the William 
Frantz Elementary School every day during the 1960–61 
school year despite ongoing riots and protests in New Or-
leans, having to be escorted to school by Federal mar-
shals, and having no other students in her classroom;
•HRES 901 EH 
Whereas Ruby Bridges was also supported by her white first- 
grade school teacher, Ms. Barbara Henry, whose lessons 
remain with Ruby Bridges to this day; 
Whereas Ms. Henry faced retaliation for teaching Ruby 
Bridges by not being invited to come back and teach at 
William Frantz School following the 1960–61 school 
year; 
Whereas, in 1995, Ruby Bridges contributed to ‘‘The Story 
of Ruby Bridges’’, a book for children, and, in 1999, 
wrote ‘‘Through My Eyes’’ to help educate children and 
people of all ages about her experiences and the impor-
tance of tolerance; 
Whereas Ruby Bridges established the Ruby Bridges Foun-
dation in 1999 to help eliminate racism and improve soci-
ety by educating students about the experiences of Ruby 
Bridges, discuss ongoing efforts to promote diversity, and 
provide lessons students can take back to their own com-
munities; and 
Whereas, in 2002, the Ruby Bridges Foundation, along with 
the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum for Tolerance in 
Los Angeles, launched The Ruby’s Bridges Project, a 
program that brought together students from diverse 
backgrounds to develop relationship-building skills and 
promote an appreciation of one another: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the 49th anniversary of the first day 
of integrated schools in New Orleans, Louisiana;
•HRES 901 EH 
(2) remembers Judge J. Skelly Wright for his advo-
cacy, support, and lifelong commitment to promoting 
civil rights, fairness, and equality; 
(3) commends Ruby Bridges for her bravery and 
courage 49 years ago, and for her lifetime commitment 
to raising awareness of diversity through improved edu-
cational opportunities for all children; and 
(4) supports policies and efforts to promote equal 
opportunities for all students regardless of their back-
grounds.

Expressing support for the designation of January 28, 2010, as National

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
NOVEMBER 6, 2009 
Mr. STEARNS submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the designation of January 28, 2010, 
as National Data Privacy Day. 
Whereas the protection of the privacy of personal information 
has become a global imperative for governments, indus-
try, civil society, and individuals; 
Whereas advances in modern technology enhance everyone’s 
lives by increasing the ability to communicate, learn, 
share, and produce, and strong efforts should be made to 
continue both the creation and the innovative use of such 
technologies; 
Whereas the pervasive use of these modern technologies in ev-
eryday life and in the workplace gives rise to the poten-
tial compromise of personal data privacy if appropriate 
care is not taken to protect personal information;

Whereas a continuing examination and understanding of the 
ways in which personal information is collected, used, 
stored, 
shared, 
and 
managed 
in 
an 
increasingly 
networked world will contribute to the protection of per-
sonal privacy; 
Whereas National Data Privacy Day constitutes an inter-
national collaboration and a nationwide and statewide ef-
fort to raise awareness about data privacy and the pro-
tection of personal information; 
Whereas government officials from the United States, Can-
ada, and Europe, privacy professionals, academic commu-
nities, legal scholars, representatives of international 
businesses and nonprofit organizations, and others with 
an interest in data privacy issues will be working together 
on National Data Privacy Day to further the discussion 
about data privacy and protection; 
Whereas privacy professionals and educators are being en-
couraged to take time to discuss data privacy and protec-
tion issues with teens and young adults in high schools 
and universities across the country; 
Whereas the second annual recognition of National Data Pri-
vacy Day will encourage more people nationwide to be 
aware of data privacy concerns and to take steps to pro-
tect their personal information; and 
Whereas January 28, 2010, would be an appropriate day to 
designate as National Data Privacy Day: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of a National Data 
Privacy Day;

Whereas 120 female members of the Armed Forces have been

66 were killed in combat; 
Whereas 1,357 female members of the Armed Forces have 
been wounded in action, and, of the women wounded, 646

Whereas the nature of war has changed in Iraq and Afghani-
stan, and, despite the prohibition on female members of 
the Armed Forces serving in combat, so has the role of 
female members of the Armed Forces; 
Whereas women routinely serve in support units, but women
