resents more than a quarter of the total United States 
population; 
Whereas an analysis of data from the Longitudinal Study of 
Aging found that those individuals who volunteer have 
lower mortality rates than those who do not volunteer 
and research shows that communities with high levels of 
social networks have higher levels of parental engagement 
in schools, stronger local economies, less crime, and lower 
incidence of illnesses; 
Whereas volunteers have contributed to the enhancement and 
improvement of communities across the United States, 
especially with respect to the aftermath of the hurricanes 
on the Gulf Coast; and 
Whereas National Volunteer Week will continue to build 
awareness of the role that volunteers play in local, na-
tional, and international communities, and their commit-
ment and dedication to improving lives, strengthening 
communities, and fostering civic engagement through 
service and volunteering: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the United States House of Representa-

(1) supports the goals and ideals highlighted 
through National Volunteer Week; 
(2) acknowledges the diligent efforts of our major 
federally funded community service and volunteer pro-
grams;
