Raising awareness and encouraging prevention of stalking by establishing

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
DECEMBER 14, 2005 
Mr. CHABOT submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred 
to the Committee on the Judiciary 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Raising awareness and encouraging prevention of stalking 
by establishing January 2006 as ‘‘National Stalking 
Awareness Month’’. 
Whereas an estimated 1,006,970 women and 370,990 men 
are stalked annually in the United States and, in the ma-
jority of such cases, the person is stalked by someone 
who is not a stranger; 
Whereas 81 percent of women who are stalked by an intimate 
partner are also physically assaulted by that partner, and 
76 percent of women who are killed by an intimate part-
ner were also stalked by that intimate partner; 
Whereas 26 percent of stalking victims lose time from work 
as a result of their victimization and 7 percent never re-
turn to work;
•HCON 316 IH 
Whereas stalking victims are forced to take drastic measures 
to protect themselves, such as relocating, changing their 
addresses, changing their identities, changing jobs, and 
obtaining protection orders; 
Whereas stalking is a crime that cuts across race, culture, 
gender, age, sexual orientation, physical and mental abil-
ity, and economic status; 
Whereas stalking is a crime under Federal law and under the 
laws of all 50 States and the District of Columbia; 
Whereas rapid advancements in technology have made cyber- 
surveillance the new frontier in stalking; 
Whereas there are national organizations, local victim service 
organizations, prosecutors’ offices, and police depart-
ments that stand ready to assist stalking victims and who 
are working diligently to craft competent, thorough, and 
innovative responses to stalking; 
Whereas there is a need to enhance the criminal justice sys-
tem’s response to stalking and stalking victims, including 
aggressive investigation and prosecution; and 
Whereas Congress urges the establishment of January, 2006 
as National Stalking Awareness Month: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That— 
(1) it is the sense of Congress that— 
(A) National Stalking Awareness Month 
provides an opportunity to educate the people of 
the United States about stalking;
•HCON 316 IH 
(B) all Americans should applaud the ef-
forts of the many victim service providers, po-
lice, prosecutors, national and community orga-
nizations, and private sector supporters for 
their efforts in promoting awareness about 
stalking; and 
(C) policymakers, criminal justice officials, 
victim service and human service agencies, non-
profits, and others should recognize the need to 
increase awareness of stalking and availability 
of services for stalking victims; and 
(2) Congress urges national and community or-
ganizations, businesses in the private sector, and the 
media to promote, through National Stalking Aware-
ness Month, awareness of the crime of stalking.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Whereas, in the year 2005, the people of the world suffered 
many calamitous events, including devastation from tsu-
nami, terror attacks, war, famine, genocide, hurricanes, 
earthquakes, political and religious conflict, disease, pov-
erty, and rioting, all necessitating global cooperation, 
compassion, and unity previously unprecedented among 
diverse cultures, faiths, and economic classes;
•HCON 317 EH 
Whereas grave global challenges in the year 2006 may re-
quire cooperation and innovative problem-solving among 
citizens and nations on an even greater scale; 
Whereas, on December 15, 2000, Congress adopted Senate 
Concurrent Resolution 138, expressing the sense of Con-
gress that the President of the United States should 
issue a proclamation each year calling upon the people of 
the United States and interested organizations to observe 
an international day of peace and sharing at the begin-
ning of each year; 
Whereas, in 2001, the United Nations General Assembly 
adopted Resolution 56/2, which invited ‘‘Member States, 
intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations 
and all the peoples of the world to celebrate One Day in 
Peace, 1 January 2002, and every year thereafter’’; 
Whereas many foreign heads of state have recognized the im-
portance of establishing Global Family Day, a special day 
of international unity, peace, and sharing, on the first 
day of each year; and 
Whereas family is the basic structure of humanity, thus, we 
must all look to the stability and love within our indi-
vidual families to create stability in the global commu-
nity: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress urgently requests the fol-
lowing: 
(1) That the President issue a proclamation an-
nually calling upon the people of the United States 
to observe Global Family Day, One Day of Peace 
and Sharing, a day which is dedicated—
•HCON 317 EH 
(A) to eradicating violence, hunger, pov-
erty, and suffering; and 
(B) to establishing greater trust and fel-
lowship among peace-loving nations and fami-
lies everywhere. 
(2) That the President invite former Presidents 
of the United States, Nobel laureates, and other 
notables, including American business, labor, faith, 
and civic leaders, to join the President in promoting 
appropriate activities for Americans and in extend-
ing appropriate greetings from the families of Amer-
ica to families in the rest of the world.
