from abduction, and urging retail business establishments that have
not implemented such program to consider doing so.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 2, 1999
Mr. PALLONE submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Commerce
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the ‘‘Code Adam’’ child safety program, com-
mending retail business establishments that have imple-
mented programs to protect children from abduction,
and urging retail business establishments that have not
implemented such program to consider doing so.
Whereas protecting children is one of society’s greatest re-
sponsibilities;
Whereas child abduction, an unconscionable and horrendous
crime, seems to be increasing in frequency;
Whereas parents, and all other adults, must be ever vigilant
in public places to protect children, who by their very na-
ture are trusting and unsuspecting, from those depraved
and vile individuals who would prey on them;
•HRES 90 IH
Whereas recognizing the risk of child abduction, some retail
business establishments have developed safety procedures
and programs designed to prevent abductors from using
crowds of shoppers as cover for nefarious acts;
Whereas one of the most successful programs to prevent child
abduction is the ‘‘Code Adam’’ alarm developed and im-
plemented by Wal-Mart stores and SAM’S Clubs
throughout the Nation; and
Whereas, named in tribute to 6-year-old Adam Walsh who
was abducted from a shopping mall in the State of Flor-
ida and murdered in 1981, the ‘‘Code Adam’’ alarm sig-
nals that there is a missing child and alerts all sales per-
sonnel in the affected retail business establishment to
abandon their normal responsibilities and, in a coordi-
nated and prearranged organized manner, to begin
searching for the child and monitoring the establishment
exits to ensure that the child is not removed from the es-
tablishment: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recog-
nizes the ‘‘Code Adam’’ child safety program, commends
all retail business establishments that have implemented
such program to protect children from abduction, and
urges retail business establishments that have not imple-
mented such program to consider doing so.
