H. RES. 1407 
Recognizing the importance of increasing renewable and alternative fuel use 
in reducing imports of foreign oil. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JULY 31, 2008 
Mr. TERRY (for himself and Mr. INSLEE) submitted the following resolution; 
which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the importance of increasing renewable and 
alternative fuel use in reducing imports of foreign oil. 
Whereas gasoline prices nationwide are at or near $4.00 per 
gallon; 
Whereas it is important for the Nation’s energy security to 
reduce imports of foreign oil and biofuels are part of the 
means of achieving this; 
Whereas millions of Americans want to do their part to im-
prove the environment with their next car purchase and 
U.S. automakers have pledged to make 50 percent of the 
new car production flexible fuel vehicles; 
Whereas there are 7 million flexible fuel vehicles on the road 
today but many Americans do not know they own one;

•HRES 1407 IH 
Whereas the Nation needs to ensure that all Americans are 
aware of the availability of these vehicles; 
Whereas increased biofuels production can reduce the price of 
fuel for consumers; 
Whereas flexible fuel vehicles can produce fewer greenhouse 
gases than conventional vehicles when using biofuels; 
Whereas the Flexible Fuel Vehicle Club, a non-profit con-
sumer group, was established on July 31, 2008, to pro-
mote awareness of the role that biofuels can play in re-
ducing imports of foreign oil and greenhouse gas emis-
sions; and 
Whereas the Flexible Fuel Vehicle Club will serve as a com-
munity of flex-fuel vehicle owners that will serve to edu-
cate Americans on the benefits of these vehicles and the 
benefits of biofuels: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recog-
nizes the importance of increasing renewable and alter-
native fuel use in reducing imports of foreign oil.

this Act is as follows: 
Sec. 1. Short title; table of contents. 
Sec. 2. Findings. 
Sec. 3. Prohibition of the display, sale, or purchase of Social Security numbers. 
Sec. 4. Application of prohibition of the display, sale, or purchase of Social Se-
curity numbers to public records. 
Sec. 5. Rulemaking authority of the Attorney General.

Sec. 9. Criminal penalties for the misuse of a Social Security number. 
Sec. 10. Civil actions and civil penalties. 
Sec. 11. Federal injunctive authority. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The inappropriate display, sale, or purchase 
of Social Security numbers has contributed to a 
growing range of illegal activities, including fraud, 
identity theft, and, in some cases, stalking and other 
violent crimes. 
(2) While financial institutions, health care pro-
viders, and other entities have often used Social Se-
curity numbers to confirm the identity of an indi-
vidual, the general display to the public, sale, or pur-
chase of these numbers has been used to commit 
crimes, and also can result in serious invasions of in-
dividual privacy. 
(3) The Federal Government requires virtually 
every individual in the United States to obtain and 
maintain a Social Security number in order to pay
