RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives
regarding the benefits of biotechnology.
Whereas biotechnology is increasingly important to the re-
search and development of medical, agricultural, indus-
trial, and environmental products;
Whereas public awareness, education, and understanding of
biotechnology are essential to the responsible application
of this technology;
Whereas biotechnology is central to research for cures to dis-
eases such as cancer, diabetes, epilepsy, multiple scle-
rosis, diseases of the heart and lungs, Alzheimer’s dis-
ease, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (commonly
•HRES 173 IH
known as AIDS), and innumerable other medical ail-
ments;
Whereas biotechnology contributes to crop yields and farm
productivity and enhances the quality, value, and suit-
ability of crops for food and other uses that are critical
to the agriculture of the United States;
Whereas biotechnology promises environmental benefits in-
cluding protection of water quality, conservation of top-
soil, improvement of waste management techniques, re-
duction of chemical pesticide usage, production of renew-
able energy, and cleaner manufacturing processes;
Whereas biotechnology contributes to the success of the
United States as the global leader in research and devel-
opment and international commerce; and
Whereas biotechnology will be an important catalyst for cre-
ating more high-skill jobs throughout the 21st century
and will lead the way in reinvigorating rural economies:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that biotechnology has been responsible for
breakthroughs and achievements that have benefited peo-
ple for centuries and has contributed to increasing the
quality of life for the people of the United States.
