October 1, 2002.
Whereas fragile X is the most common inherited cause of
mental retardation, affecting people of every race, income
level, and nationality;
Whereas 1 in every 267 women is a carrier of the fragile X;
Whereas children born with fragile X typically require a life-
time of special care at a cost of over $2,000,000 each;
Whereas fragile X frequently remains undetected because the
defect was relatively recently discovered and there is a
lack of awareness about the disease, even within the med-
ical community;
Whereas the gene causing fragile X has been discovered and
is easily identified by testing;
Whereas inquiry into fragile X is a powerful research model
for neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism, schizo-
phrenia, pervasive developmental disorders, and other
forms of X-chromosome-linked mental retardation;
Whereas individuals with fragile X can provide a homo-
geneous research population for advancing the under-
standing of neuropsychiatric disorders;
Whereas with concerted research efforts, a cure for fragile X
may be developed;
•HRES 398 EH
Whereas fragile X research, both basic and applied, has been
vastly underfunded despite the prevalence of the disorder,
the potential for the development of a cure, the estab-
lished benefits of available treatments and interventions,
and the significance that fragile X research has for re-
lated disorders;
Whereas Members of Congress are in unique positions to help
raise public awareness about the need for increased fund-
ing for research and early diagnosis and treatment for
fragile X; and
Whereas throughout the United States, families and friends
of individuals with fragile X have designated October 5
as National Fragile X Research Day to promote efforts
to find a treatment and cure for fragile X: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes the devastating impact of fragile X
on thousands of people in the United States and their
families;
(2) calls on the National Institutes of Health, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other
sources of Federal and private research funds to enhance
and increase their efforts and commitments to fragile X
research;
(3) calls on medical schools and other health edu-
cators, medical societies and associations, and Federal,
State, and local health care facilities to promote research
that will lead to a treatment and cure for fragile X; and
•HRES 398 EH
(4) commends the goals and ideals of a National
Fragile X Research Day and supports interested groups
in conducting appropriate ceremonies, activities, and
programs to demonstrate support for such a day.

Expressing the moral requirement to end violence and

Whereas recent events in the Middle East, triggered by re-

leadership of the United States: Now, therefore, be it

frontline state in the war against terrorism to take
military action to end terrorist attacks, to dismantle
terrorist infrastructure, and to provide security for
its people;

(2) remains committed to Israel’s right to self-
defense and to assisting Israel in exercising that
right;
(3) will continue to assist Israel in strength-
ening its homeland defenses;

the ongoing support and coordination of terror by
Yassir Arafat and other members of the Palestinian
leadership;
(5) insists that the Palestinian Authority fulfill
its commitment to dismantle the terrorist infrastruc-
ture in the Palestinian areas;
(6) urges all Arab states, particularly United
States allies Egypt and Saudi Arabia, to declare
their unqualified opposition to all forms of terrorism,
particularly suicide bombing, and to act in concert
with the United States to stop the violence;
(7) urges Israel to make clear, in the context of
the full settlement described in paragraph (8), its
willingness to withdraw from occupied territories;
and
(8) urges all parties in the region to vigorously
pursue efforts to establish a just, lasting, and com-
prehensive peace in the Middle East that will enable
Israel and an independent Palestinian state to exist
•HRES 405 IH
within the context of full and normal relationships,
which should include termination of all claims or
states of belligerency and respect for and acknowl-

their right to live in peace within secure and recog-
nized boundaries free from threats or acts of force.
