Mrs. DRAKE submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the

RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the United States should seek to achieve complete energy 
independence by 2015. 
Whereas all Americans have the right to affordable energy; 
Whereas, for too long, the United States has failed to develop 
its own natural resources and to encourage the innovative 
spirit necessary to achieve energy independence; 
Whereas, by operating a 21st Century economy through an 
energy infrastructure built in the 1970’s, the United 
States has made itself vulnerable to rogue nations, dic-
tators, and a commodities market that is sensitive to 
global political and natural events; and 
Whereas the 109th Congress took decisive action to begin to 
restore our infrastructure after decades of neglect by

(7) furthering the proliferation of fuel efficient 
vehicles;

Mr. KIND (for himself, Mr. KINGSTON, Mr. MCNULTY, Mr. FOLEY, and Mr. 
DENT) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Government Reform 
RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goals and ideals of ‘‘National MPS Day’’. 
Whereas mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses (com-
monly known as ‘‘MPS disorders’’) are genetically deter-
mined lysosomal storage disorders that result in the in-
ability of the body to produce certain enzymes needed to 
break down complex carbohydrates; 
Whereas in individuals with MPS disorders, complex carbo-
hydrates are stored in virtually every cell in the body and 
progressively cause damage to the cells, affecting multiple 
systems, including the bones, heart and other internal or-
gans, respiratory system, and central nervous system; 
Whereas the cellular damage caused by MPS disorders re-

Recognizing the 100th anniversary of Rotary International. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 26, 2005 
Mr. SHERMAN (for himself and Mr. WILSON of South Carolina) submitted the 
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Government 
Reform 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the 100th anniversary of Rotary International. 
Whereas Rotary International, founded on February 23, 
1905, is a worldwide organization of business and profes-
sional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encour-
ages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps 
build goodwill and peace in the world; 
Whereas approximately 1,200,000 Rotarians belong to more 
than 31,000 Rotary clubs located in 166 countries; 
Whereas nearly 400,000 Rotarians in more than 7,500 Ro-
tary clubs in the United States voluntarily support thou-
sands of humanitarian and educational projects to benefit 
communities in this Nation and abroad; 
Whereas Rotarians are committed to the motto ‘‘Service 
Above Self’’ and to ‘‘The Four-Way Test’’ of business
•HRES 55 IH 
ethics, a philosophy that encourages truth, fairness, good-
will, and mutual benefit in all professional actions; 
Whereas Rotarians support efforts to provide educational op-
portunities and to meet basic human needs because these 
efforts are essential steps to greater world understanding, 
goodwill, and peace; 
Whereas the founding of Rotary International encouraged the 
creation and expansion of service clubs in the 20th cen-
tury, and these service clubs generated a formalized spirit 
of community voluntarism in the United States; 
Whereas the PolioPlus program, created by Rotary Inter-
national to eradicate the dreaded disease of polio, has 
helped to vaccinate more than 2,000,000,000 children 
against the disease; 
Whereas Rotary International is the only nongovernmental 
organization to join in partnership with the World Health 
Organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund 
(UNICEF), and the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention to achieve the goal of the total eradication of 
polio in 2005; 
Whereas the work of Rotary International for the eradication 
of polio is an outstanding and noteworthy humanitarian 
effort by a nonprofit organization; and 
Whereas February 23, 2005, marks the centennial anniver-
sary of Rotary International: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the 100th anniversary of Rotary 
International and commends Rotary International 
for a century of humanitarian service;
•HRES 55 IH 
(2) acknowledges the important service and 
contributions of Rotary International to local com-
munities and the world; and 
(3) expresses its appreciation for the significant 
contributions of Rotary International to achieving a 
99 percent reduction of polio in the world, and looks 
forward to celebrating the global eradication of polio 
in 2005.

piratory problems, and, most importantly, drastically 
shortened life span; 
Whereas the nature of MPS disorders is usually not apparent 
at birth, and, without treatment, life expectancy is usu-
ally very short; 
Whereas the multisystemic damage that is caused by MPS 
disorders makes the disorders ideal models for many 
other degenerative genetic disorders; 
Whereas recent research developments have resulted in lim-
ited treatments for some MPS disorders, and promising 
advancements are underway in pursuit of treatments for 
additional MPS disorders; 
Whereas treatments and research advancements for MPS dis-
orders are limited by lack of awareness about the dis-
orders, even within the medical community; 
Whereas the development of early detection and intervention 
techniques, effective treatments, and a potential cure for 
MPS disorders can be accomplished by research, data 
collection, and information distribution; 
Whereas increased public and professional awareness and 
continued public funding will assist in the development of 
new techniques, treatments, and cures for MPS dis-
orders, which will greatly enhance the quality of life for 
individuals with MPS disorders; 
Whereas the National MPS Society, Inc., a group ultimately 
dedicated to finding a cure for MPS disorders, has des-
ignated February 25 of each year as ‘‘National MPS 
Day’’; and 
Whereas the designation of ‘‘National MPS Day’’ provides an 
opportunity to increase public and professional awareness 
about mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses, and to

In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

Whereas HIV/AIDS has killed over 25,000,000 people world-
wide and poses a serious threat to the economic and po-
litical stability of the countries hit hardest by this terrible 
epidemic; 
Whereas the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) 
was founded in 1996 as a public-private partnership with 
a mission to ensure the development of safe, effective, ac-
cessible, preventive HIV/AIDS vaccines for use through-
out the world, with a particular focus on developing coun-
tries, where the need is most urgent; 
Whereas the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative’s research 
and policy programs have galvanized scientific efforts and 
substantially increased financial and political support for 
this vital effort; 
Whereas since its founding, the International AIDS Vaccine 
Initiative has advanced six vaccine candidates from con-
cept to clinical trials, targeting the subtypes of HIV cir-
culating in the developing world—a record matched only 
by one large pharmaceutical company; 
Whereas ten years ago only a few developing countries had 
participated in HIV/AIDS vaccine trials, but today sev-

tively participating in HIV/AIDS vaccine trials, a reflec-
tion of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative’s activ-
ism and commitment to working collaboratively with de-
veloping country partners; 
Whereas the model of the International AIDS Vaccine Initia-
tive, which closely links clinical trial site investigators to 
product developers, has resulted in the first HIV/AIDS 
vaccine trials being conducted in Kenya, Rwanda, and 
India, as well as trials in Uganda and South Africa; 
Whereas the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative is a 
founding member of the Global HIV/AIDS Vaccine En-
terprise, recognized by the G–8 as an important actor in 
the quest for a vaccine; is an affiliated member of the 
National Institutes of Health’s Partnership for AIDS 
Vaccine Evaluation; and is hosting NIH trials at Inter-
national AIDS Vaccine Initiative sites in Africa; 
Whereas the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative’s Core 
Clinical Immunology Laboratory was the first Good Clin-
ical Laboratory Practices (GCLP) accredited laboratory 
in the world to assess HIV/AIDS vaccines, and the Inter-
national AIDS Vaccine Initiative’s laboratory in Uganda 
was the first to receive such accreditation in Africa; and 
Whereas the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative estab-
lished a ground-breaking Neutralizing Antibody Consor-
tium to address one of the key scientific challenges to 
vaccine design: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) congratulates the International AIDS Vaccine 
Initiative on ten years of significant achievement in the 
search for an HIV/AIDS vaccine;

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
individuals who commit acts of sexual violence against

Whereas Congress has repeatedly passed laws to protect the

Whereas the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS,

minor, and that such relationships can cause great psy-
chological, emotional, and physical harm; 
Whereas according to a study by the Department of Edu-
cation in 2004, nearly 10 percent of public school stu-
dents in the United States have received unwanted sexual 
attention by school employees; 
Whereas some judges are not imposing the fullest penalties 
available against adults that commit acts of sexual vio-
lence against minor children; 
Whereas all recipients of funds under Title X of the Public 
Health Services Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 300 et seq.), 
should comply with State laws and regulations regarding 
the reporting of statutory rape; and 
Whereas according to a report by the United States Sen-
tencing Commission in March of 2006, in the wake of the 
Supreme Court decision in United States v. Booker 
(2005), the percentage of criminal sexual abuse and sex-
ual exploitation offenders who have received a sentence 
that is less than the sentence range recommended by the 
Sentencing Comission has increased: Now, therefore, be

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) an unmarried minor should be unable to le-
gally consent to a sexual relationship with an adult, 
and all such relationships should be prosecuted as 
statutory rape;
