RESOLUTION
Honoring the United States Youth Soccer National Cham-

Whereas nearly 14,000,000 children play soccer in this coun-

Whereas United States Youth Soccer is the largest organized

istered players;
Whereas the Maryland SoccerPlex is a state-of-the-art, 24-
field, soccer complex in Germantown, Maryland and is
home of the National Championships in 2002 and 2003;
•HRES 494 IH
Whereas approximately 1000 teams entered the national com-

gions of the country, with the final 48 teams to be com-
peting at the Maryland SoccerPlex on July 23–28;

H. Res. 496
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
July 22, 2002.
Whereas studies have shown an alarming increase in steroid
use among children, who may be modeling their behavior
after professional athletes;
Whereas one report said that steroid use by high school boys
was as high as 12 percent;
Whereas earlier this year, 2 retired Major League Baseball
players, each having been a Most Valuable Player, admit-
ted to steroid use, unleashing a wave of articles about
rampant use throughout the league;
Whereas the stories have focused on the muscle-enhancing as-
pect of steroids, linking it to a surge in power hitting
among many players;
Whereas the Nation’s children are receiving the wrong mes-
sage, namely that drug use is not only permissible, but
desirable if an individual wants to perform at his or her
best;
Whereas the truth is that steroids are dangerous and harmful
to an individual’s health and have no place in our na-
tional pastime or the lives of the Nation’s children;
Whereas other professional sports, notably football, basket-
ball, and even the Olympics, already ban steroids, a dan-
•HRES 496 EH
gerous drug that often causes liver damage, kidney fail-
ure, heart disease, and brain tumors;
Whereas although steroid use is illegal without a doctor’s pre-
scription, the failure in Major League Baseball to test for
such use has led to speculation that steroids are widely
abused by many of today’s players;
Whereas professional baseball players have tremendous influ-
ence on children and therefore have an obligation to at-
tempt to be good role models;
Whereas the question of rampant, systemic steroid abuse now
hangs over a game that the people of the United States
love; and
Whereas instituting mandatory steroid testing will send the
right message to the public, namely that Major League
Baseball is serious about banning steroids and will con-
tinually work to protect the integrity of the game: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that—
(1) Major League Baseball and the Major League
Baseball Players Association should implement a manda-
tory steroid testing program; and
(2) such a program would send a clear message to
our Nation’s children that steroids are dangerous, illegal,
•HRES 496 EH
and morally offensive to our country’s competitive spirit
and one of our most cherished sports.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President
should award the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously to Dr.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 14, 2001
Mr. LEWIS of Georgia (for himself, Mr. BISHOP, Mr. ISAKSON, and Ms.
MCKINNEY) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Government Reform
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the President should award the Presidential Medal of
Freedom posthumously to Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays
in honor of his distinguished career as an educator,
civil and human rights leader, and public theologian.
Whereas Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays, throughout his distin-
guished career of more than half a century as an educa-
tor, civil and human rights leader, and public theologian,
inspired people of all races throughout the world by his
persistent commitment to excellence;
Whereas Benjamin Mays persevered, despite the frustrations
inherent in segregation, to begin an illustrious career in
education;
•HRES 49 IH
Whereas as Dean of the School of Religion of Howard Uni-
versity and later for a period of 27 years as President of
Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, Benjamin Mays
overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to offer
high quality education to all people of the United States,
especially African-Americans;
Whereas at the commencement of World War II, when most
colleges suffered from a lack of available students and
the demise of Morehouse College appeared imminent,
Benjamin Mays prevented the college from permanently
closing its doors by vigorously recruiting potential stu-
dents and thereby aiding the development of future gen-
erations of African-American leaders;
Whereas Benjamin Mays was instrumental in the elimination
of segregated public facilities in Atlanta, Georgia, and
promoted the cause of nonviolence through peaceful stu-
dent protests during a time in this Nation that was often
marred by racial violence;
Whereas Benjamin Mays received numerous accolades
throughout his career, including the naming of a street
and of 7 schools and academic buildings in his honor;
and
Whereas the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civil-
ian honor in the Nation, was established in 1945 to ap-
propriately recognize persons who have made an espe-
cially meritorious contribution to the security or national
interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cul-
tural or other significant public or private endeavors:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the President should award the Presi-
•HRES 49 IH
dential Medal of Freedom posthumously to Dr. Benjamin
Elijah Mays in honor of his distinguished career as an ed-
ucator, civil and human rights leader, and public theolo-
gian and his many contributions to the improvement of
United States society and the world.
