H. Res. 582
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
November 15 (legislative day, November 14), 2002.
Whereas the prevalence of runaway and homeless situations
among youth is staggering, with studies suggesting that
between 1,300,000 and 2,800,000 youth live on the
streets of the United States each year;
Whereas running away from home is widespread, with 1 out
of every 7 youth in the United States running away from
home before the age of 18;
Whereas runaway youth most often are youth who have been
expelled from their homes by their families, physically,
sexually, and emotionally abused at home, discharged by
State custodial systems without adequate transition
plans, separated from their parents through death and
divorce, too poor to secure their own basic needs, and in-
eligible or unable to access adequate medical or mental
health resources;
Whereas effective programs supporting runaway youth and
assisting youth and their families in remaining at home
succeed because of partnerships created among families,
community-based human service agencies, law enforce-
ment agencies, schools, faith-based organizations, and
businesses;
•HRES 582 EH
Whereas preventing youth from running away from home and
supporting youth in high-risk situations is a family, com-
munity, and national priority;
Whereas the future well-being of the Nation is dependent on
the opportunities provided for youth and families to ac-
quire the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for
youth to develop into safe, healthy, and productive adults;
Whereas the National Network for Youth and its members
advocate on behalf of runaway and homeless youth and
provide an array of community-based supports that ad-
dress their critical needs;
Whereas the National Runaway Switchboard provides crisis
intervention and referrals to reconnect runaway youth to
their families and to link youth to local resources that
provide positive alternatives to running away from home;
and
Whereas the National Network for Youth and National Run-
away Switchboard are co-sponsoring National Runaway
Prevention Month, during the month of November, to in-
crease public awareness of the life circumstances of youth
in high-risk situations and the need for safe, healthy, and
productive alternatives, resources, and supports for
youth, families, and communities: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes
and supports the goals and ideals of ‘‘National Runaway Pre-
vention Month’’.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that a commemorative

Holocaust.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 10, 2002
Mr. ISRAEL (for himself, Mr. LANTOS, and Mr. CANTOR) submitted the fol-
lowing resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Government
Reform
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
a commemorative postage stamp should be issued in
remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust.
Whereas the Holocaust was a defining event in history;
Whereas the atrocities against humanity that were committed
during the Holocaust were of a magnitude not seen either
before or since the Holocaust;
Whereas remembering the Holocaust and the victims of the
Holocaust may help ensure that nothing similar is ever
allowed to happen again;
Whereas the evil of the Holocaust underscores the need for
tolerance, sensitivity, pluralism, and democracy around
the world;
•HRES 583 IH
Whereas another lesson of the Holocaust is the need to re-
spect the basic human rights of all;
Whereas many of those who survived the Holocaust rebuilt
their lives and raised their families in the United States,
and contributed significantly to this, their adopted home-
land; and
Whereas 2005 will mark the 60th anniversary of the libera-
tion of the Nazi concentration camps by Allied troops:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) a commemorative postage stamp should be
issued by the United States Postal Service in re-
membrance of the victims of the Holocaust; and
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee
should recommend to the Postmaster General that
such a stamp be issued.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mrs. WILSON of New Mexico submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideas of a National Sexual Assault
Awareness Month.
Whereas rape and sexual assault by non-strangers and
strangers affects women, children, and men of all racial,
cultural, and economic backgrounds;
Whereas women, children, and men suffer multiple types of
sexual violence;
Whereas the Department of Justice reports that a sexual as-
sault occurs every 90 seconds;
Whereas it is estimated by the Bureau of Justice Statistics
that over 70 percent of rapes are never reported to the
police;
Whereas in addition to the immediate physical and emotional
costs, sexual assault may also have associated con-
•HRES 584 IH
sequences of post-traumatic stress disorder, substance
abuse, major depression, homelessness, eating disorders,
and suicide;
Whereas it is important to recognize the compassion and
dedication of the individuals who provide services to sur-
vivors and work to increase the public understanding of
this significant problem;
Whereas State coalitions and local rape crisis centers across
the Nation are committed to increasing public awareness
of sexual violence and its prevalence and to eliminating
it through education;
Whereas important partnerships have been formed among
criminal and juvenile justice agencies, allied professionals,
and victim services;
Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
have identified sexual assault as a significant, costly, and
preventable health issue; and
Whereas the United States Government has expressed a com-
mitment to eliminating sexual violence in society with
various legislative actions and appropriations, including
the Violence Against Women Act, Grants to Combat Vio-
lence Against Women on Campus, and through projects
of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the goals and ideas of a National
Sexual Assault Awareness Month;
(2) encourages individual and collective efforts
that reflect the vision of a Nation where no sexual
assault victim goes un-served or ever feels there is
•HRES 584 IH
no path to justice and where citizens work toward
eliminating all forms of sexual violence; and
(3) requests the President to issue a proclama-
tion calling on the people of the United States and
interested groups to observe a National Sexual As-
sault Awareness Month with appropriate ceremonies,
activities, and programs to reflect the commitment
to eliminating sexual violence from society and to ac-
knowledge the work of organizations and individuals
against sexual violence.
