103D CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
H. RES. 83
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the cost-of-living
adjustment provisions under title II of the Social Security Act should
be preserved.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 16, 1993
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey (for himself, Mr. EMERSON, Ms. DANNER, Mr.
QUINN, Mr. FIELDS of Texas, Mr. KING, Mr. MACHTLEY, Mr. LIGHT-
FOOT, and Mr. RAHALL) submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the cost-of-living adjustment provisions under title II
of the Social Security Act should be preserved.
Whereas the social security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA)
was authorized by the Congress in 1972 so that recipi-
ents’ benefits could keep up with the ever-rising cost of
keeping modest means;
Whereas the annual COLA is based on the Consumer Price
Index as determined by the Department of Labor;
Whereas social security is off budget and thus should be free
from political considerations;
•HRES 83 IH
Whereas the social security trust funds currently total over
$300,000,000, guaranteeing that retirees will continue to
receive funds well into the next century;
Whereas a freeze on the COLA would affect all 48,000,000
social security beneficiaries, including children and dis-
abled individuals;
Whereas 500,000 senior citizens would fall under the poverty
line in the event of such a freeze;
Whereas a COLA freeze is compounded year after year, never
to be recouped by the recipient;
Whereas that senior citizens cannot afford to be without
much-needed funds in this current economic climate;
Whereas elderly social security beneficiaries already have $1
of every $3 earned over $10,560 taken away due to the
social security earnings test; and
Whereas the notch problem also substantially reduces millions
of senior citizens’ retirement checks: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the provisions of section 215(i) of the
Social Security Act providing for cost-of-living adjust-
ments under the old-age, survivors, and disability insur-
ance program under title II of such Act are essential to
the integrity of such program and must not be interrupted
or restricted.
