H. Res. 265
In the House of Representatives, U.S., 
June 6, 2006.
Whereas osteoporosis, a disease characterized by low bone 
mass, structural deterioration of bone, and increased sus-
ceptibility to fractures, is a public health threat for an es-
timated 44 million Americans; 
Whereas in the United States, 10 million individuals already 
have the disease and almost 34 million more are esti-
mated to have low bone mass, placing them at increased 
risk for osteoporosis; 
Whereas one in two women and one in four men over age 50 
will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in her or his re-
maining lifetime; 
Whereas building strong bones during childhood and adoles-
cence can be the best defense against developing 
osteoporosis later; 
Whereas osteoporosis is often thought of as an older person’s 
disease, but bone health is a concern for any age; 
Whereas substantial risk has been reported in people of all 
ethnic backgrounds; 
Whereas osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million 
fractures annually;
•HRES 265 EH 
Whereas the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service 
says that caring for bone fractures from osteoporosis 
costs America $18 billion annually; 
Whereas the Surgeon General believes that bone health is 
critically important to the overall health and quality of 
the life of Americans; that it is in jeopardy and will only 
get worse if left unchecked; and that great improvements 
in the bone health status of Americans can be made by 
applying what is already known about early prevention, 
assessment, diagnosis, and treatment; 
Whereas optimum bone health and prevention of osteoporosis 
can be maximized by a balanced diet rich in calcium and 
vitamin D; weight-bearing exercise; and a healthy lifestyle 
with no smoking or excessive alcohol intake; and 
Whereas May 2006 would be an appropriate month to ob-
serve National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention 
Month: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the goals and ideals of National Osteoporosis Awareness and 
Prevention Month and urges the people of the United States 
to observe appropriate programs and activities with respect to 
osteoporosis, including talking with their health care profes-
sionals about their bone health.

H. Res. 1070
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
December 5, 2006.
Whereas United States soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines 
continue to make significant personal sacrifices to protect 
and defend the Nation; 
Whereas since the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Op-
eration Enduring Freedom in late 2001 over 1,406,000 
members of the Armed Forces have served overseas in 
combat theaters of operations; 
Whereas over 22,900 members of the Armed Forces have 
been wounded in theater and as a result of their injuries 
many have been separated from their respective service; 
Whereas as a result of required separation from military 
service due to their injuries incurred while in service, 
these members of the Armed Forces are transitioning to 
civilian careers; 
Whereas recent statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
show that the transition from military service to a civilian 
career can be difficult, with veterans who are age 20 
through 24 experiencing a jobless rate 3 times the na-
tional average; and 
Whereas Members of Congress could provide assistance in 
making businesses and employers aware of the unique
•HRES 1070 EH 
skills of wounded veterans and thereby help reduce the 
jobless rate for wounded veterans: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that—
(1) Members of the House should actively engage 
with employers and the American public at large to en-
courage the hiring of members and former members of 
the Armed Forces who were wounded in service and are 
facing a transition to civilian life; 
(2) a strong relationship should be forged between 
Congress, local businesses, and members and former 
members of the Armed Forces referred to in paragraph 
(1) towards the goal of finding employment for those 
who have sacrificed so much; and 
(3) Members should carry out the types of activities 
described in this resolution in accordance with regula-
tions promulgated by the Committee on Standards of 
Official Conduct and the Committee on House Adminis-
tration.
