RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Federal Government should encourage organic farm-
ing, gardening, local food production, and farmers’ mar-
kets. 
Whereas, according to a recent National Gardening Associa-
tion survey, 43,000,000 Americans plan to grow their 
own fruits, vegetables, herbs, or berries in 2009, a 19- 
percent increase from 2008; 
Whereas $2,500,000,000 was spent by Americans on food 
gardening in 2008; 
Whereas backyard and community gardens provide millions of

healthy food options;

Whereas the United States has a rich history of promoting 
homegrown food; 
Whereas it is estimated that by the end of World War II, 
more than 20,000,000 gardens were providing 40 percent 
of the produce consumed in the United States; 
Whereas the Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Mar-
keting Service reported that there were 4,685 farmers’ 
markets in August 2008, a 6.8-percent increase since 
2006; 
Whereas farmers’ markets create an interconnectedness be-
tween farmers and families, urban and rural commu-
nities, and people and agriculture; 
Whereas local foods systems, which are strengthened by 
farmers’ markets, provide nutritional benefits for con-
sumers, income opportunities for small- and medium-size 
farmers, and support for local economies; 
Whereas local and organic food production often encourage 
sustainable farming practices that help protect and con-
serve our natural resources; 
Whereas sales of organic food and beverages in the United 
States have grown from $1,000,000,000 in 1990 to an 
estimated $22,900,000,000 in 2008; and 
Whereas organic products now account for about 3.5 percent 
of all food sales in the United States: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) the House of Representatives recognizes the 
many contributions that organic farming, gardening,

creased safety, protection, and health in business and in-
dustry, as well as in schools and colleges, on roads and 
highways, and in homes and communities; 
Whereas since the summer season is a time of increased rates 
of preventable injuries and death, it is an appropriate 
time to focus the attention of our workforce and commu-
nity leaders on injury risks and preventions by cele-
brating June 2009 as ‘‘National Safety Month’’; and 
Whereas the National Safety Council in 2009 as part of its 
public education about safety and health will provide this 
Nation a monthlong campaign in June: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘National Safety 
Month’’; 
(2) recognizes the contributions of the National 
Safety Council and its ongoing commitment to raising 
awareness about the need for the implementation of safe 
practices in our schools and jobs; and 
(3) encourages citizens to observe the ‘‘National

themselves about the importance of implementing safe

Whereas crime rates have dropped since the early 1990s, but 
most Americans believe that the rate of crime is increas-
ing; 
Whereas Federal, State, and local governments increased 
their spending for police protection, corrections, judicial, 
and legal activities in fiscal year 2005 by 5.5 percent or 
$204 billion; and 
Whereas there is a need to educate Americans and to pro-
mote awareness within American society as to the causes 
and consequences of crime, as well as the strategies and 
developments for preventing and responding to crime: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that— 
(A) National Criminal Justice Month provides 
an opportunity to educate Americans on the crimi-
nal justice system; and 
(B) Americans should be aware of the causes 
and consequences of crime, how to prevent crime,

Whereas the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) was 
authorized by the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1937 to 
provide a safe inside navigation channel for commercial 
shipping, support for and encouragement of interstate 
commerce, and safe harbor and protection for shipping 
from inclement weather and wartime enemy attack; 
Whereas the AIWW, completed in 1940, runs along the 
southeast coast of the United States from Norfolk, Vir-

long; 
Whereas segments of the intracoastal waterway on the Atlan-
tic Coast received their initial congressional authorization 
through Rivers and Harbors Acts beginning in 1880; 
Whereas the AIWW is a vital transportation system providing 
safe, reliable, and efficient navigation for commercial, 
recreational, and military vessels; 
Whereas the Corps of Engineers is currently engaged in flood 
control, hydropower production, environmental restora-

Whereas the AIWW was authorized by the Rivers and Har-
bors Act of 1937 to provide a safe inside navigation 
channel for commercial shipping, support for and encour-
agement of interstate commerce, and safe harbor and 
protection for shipping from inclement weather and war-
time enemy attack; 
Whereas although authorized to a depth of 12 feet mean low 
water, the AIWW has not been maintained in a satisfac-
tory manner and has controlling depths as shallow as 4 
feet in some locations; 
Whereas the lack of regular, adequate maintenance of the 
AIWW has created serious navigation hazards for com-
mercial and recreational users; 
Whereas if maintained at the authorized depth, the AIWW 
could serve as a safe, fuel efficient, and economical alter-
native to congested highways and rail lines for some 
cargo; 
Whereas the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Association was 
organized in 1999 to address the navigation challenges of 
the AIWW and to encourage the continuation and further 
development of waterborne commerce and recreation on 
the AIWW of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, 
Georgia, and Florida; 
Whereas since its founding, the Association has been a per-
sistent and outspoken advocate for regular dredging and 
adequate maintenance to promote safe, cost effective 
navigation;
