usually large number of individuals voting from the same
address;
Whereas it was found that voting from the same address in-
cluded a Marine barracks and the domicile of nuns, that
business addresses were legal residences for the individ-
uals, including the zookeeper of the Santa Ana Zoo, that
duplicate voting was by different individuals and those
accused of underage voting were of age;
Whereas the Committee on House Oversight has issued un-
precedented subpoenas to the Immigration and Natu-
ralization Service to compare their records with Orange
County voter registration records, the first time in any
election in the history of the United States that the Im-
migration and Naturalization Service has been asked by
Congress to verify the citizenship of voters;
Whereas the Immigration and Naturalization Service has
complied with the committee’s request and, at the com-
mittee’s request, has been doing a manual check of its
paper files and providing worksheets containing supple-
mental information on that manual check to the Commit-
tee on House Oversight for over five months;
Whereas the Committee on House Oversight subpoenaed the
records seized by the District Attorney of Orange County
on February 13, 1997, and has received and reviewed all

46th District of California and the committee have been

needs regarding who voted in the 46th District and all
the information it needs to make judgements concerning
those votes;
Whereas the Committee on House Oversight has, after over
nine months of review and investigation, failed to present
credible evidence to change the outcome of the election of
Congresswoman Sanchez and is pursuing never-ending
and unsubstantiated areas of review;
Whereas contestant Robert Dornan has not shown or pro-
vided credible evidence that the outcome of the election
is other than Congresswoman Sanchez’ election to the
Congress; and
Whereas the Committee on House Oversight should complete
its review of this matter and bring this contest to an end:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That unless the Committee on House Over-
sight has sooner reported a recommendation for its final
disposition, the contest in the 46th District of California
is dismissed upon the expiration of October 29, 1997.

RESOLUTION
Recognizing the contribution that child care professionals
make to the wellbeing of children and their families.
Whereas more than 12,000,000 children under age 5, includ-
ing half of all infants under age 1, in the United States,
spend at least part of their day in the care of someone
other than their parents;
Whereas there are millions of additional children under the
age of 12 in the United States who are in some form of
child care at the beginning and end of the school day as
well as during school holidays and vacations;
Whereas for parents who must work, child care services that
are dependable and of high quality make it easier to find
and keep a job;

•HRES 279 IH
Whereas good child care helps parents reach and maintain
economic self-sufficiency;
Whereas a solid partnership between parents and loving,
trained child care professionals is essential to ensure the
quality of child care;
Whereas the availability of child care that is reliable, conven-
ient, and affordable is essential to maintaining and ex-
panding the workforce of the United States and is vital
for a parent making a successful transition from welfare
to work;
Whereas poor compensation and limited opportunities for
professional training and education contribute to high
staff turnover among child care providers, which disrupts
the creation of the strong provider-child relationships
that are critical to the healthy development of children;
Whereas the quality of child care has decisive and long-last-
ing effects on how children develop socially, emotionally,
and academically, and how the children cope with stress;
Whereas studies indicate that children who require child care
services do better in child care settings with trained, li-
censed, and accredited child care professionals; and
Whereas a national day of recognition for child care profes-
sionals would help people in the United States under-
stand and appreciate the role of child care for working
families, will highlight the importance of the parent-pro-
vider partnership, will provide opportunities to showcase
skilled, nurturing providers and quality child care set-
tings, and will energize more capable people to become
child care professionals: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recog-
nizes the contribution that child care professionals make

to the wellbeing of children and their families, and re-
quests that the President issue a proclamation recognizing
such contribution.
