110TH CONGRESS 
2D SESSION 
H. CON. RES. 333 
Expressing continued support for employee stock ownership plans. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
APRIL 24, 2008 
Mr. HINCHEY (for himself and Mr. ROHRABACHER) submitted the following 
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Education 
and Labor 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing continued support for employee stock ownership 
plans. 
Whereas in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 
1974, Congress codified a technique of corporate finance 
which utilizes employee stock ownership, officially named 
an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP); 
Whereas in the 33 years since the statutory recognition of 
ESOPs, there have been ample data collected by objective 
research indicating that the vast majority of corporations 
sponsoring employee stock ownership through ESOPs are 
high performing companies that, among other indicia of 
high performing companies, have better sales, are more 
sustainable, pay better, and provide more retirement sav-
ings compared to similar companies that are not em-
ployee-owned; and

Whereas Congress, in more than 15 laws since 1974, has 
made it explicit that ESOPs are to serve the dual pur-
pose of providing retirement savings and stock ownership 
for employees, as well as being a financing technique for 
corporations: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress expresses its continued sup-
port for employee stock ownership plans.

H. CON. RES. 334 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Whereas the vigilance of the members of the Armed Forces 
has been instrumental to the preservation of the freedom, 
security, and prosperity enjoyed by the people of the 
United States; 
Whereas the success of the Armed Forces depends on the 
dedicated service of its members, their families,
107TH CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
H. R. 2883
AN ACT
To authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2002 for intel-
ligence and intelligence-related activities of the United
States Government, the Community Management Ac-
count, and the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement
and Disability System, and for other purposes.
•HCON 334 EH 
and the civilian employees of the Department of Defense 
and the Coast Guard; 
Whereas the role of the United States as a world leader re-
quires a military force that is well-trained, well-equipped, 
and appropriately sized; 
Whereas the Federal Government has a responsibility to raise 
awareness of and respect for this aspect of the heritage 
of the United States and to encourage the people of the 
United States to dedicate themselves to the values and 
principles for which Americans have served and sacrificed 
throughout the history of the Nation; 
Whereas service in the Armed Forces entails special hazards 
and demands extraordinary sacrifices from service mem-
bers and their families; 
Whereas the support of the families of service members en-
hances the effectiveness and capabilities of the Armed 
Forces; 
Whereas the observance of events recognizing the contribu-
tions of the Armed Forces is a tangible and highly effec-
tive way of sustaining morale and improving quality of 
life for service members and their families; 
Whereas on April 30, 1999, the Senate passed S. Res. 33 
(106th Congress), entitled ‘‘Designating May 1999 as 
‘National Military Appreciation Month’ ’’, calling on the 
people of the United States, in a symbolic act of unity, 
to observe a National Military Appreciation Month in 
May 1999, to honor the current and former members of 
the Armed Forces, including those who have died in the 
pursuit of freedom and peace; 
Whereas on March 24, 2004, the House of Representatives 
passed H. Con. Res. 328 (108th Congress), entitled
•HCON 334 EH 
‘‘Recognizing and honoring the United States Armed 
Forces and supporting the goals and objectives of a Na-
tional Military Appreciation Month,’’ and on April 26, 
2004, the Senate passed H. Con. Res. 328 by unanimous 
consent; and 
Whereas it is important to emphasize to the people of the 
United States the relevance of the history and activities 
of the Armed Forces through an annual National Mili-
tary Appreciation Month that includes associated local 
and national observances and activities: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) supports the goals and objectives of a Na-
tional Military Appreciation Month; and 
(2) urges the President to issue a proclamation 
calling on the people of the United States, all Fed-
eral departments and agencies, States, localities, or-
ganizations, and media to annually observe a Na-
tional Military Appreciation Month with appropriate 
ceremonies and activities. 
Passed the House of Representatives May 21, 2008.
