H. Res. 1034 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 23, 2010. 
Whereas since its invention by Louis Braille (1809–1852), 
the reading and writing code for the blind that bears his 
name has become the accepted method of reading and 
writing for the blind the world over; 
Whereas the Braille code is used to represent not only the 
alphabets of most written languages, but is also used for 
mathematical and scientific notation and the reproduc-
tion of musical scores; 
Whereas while technology has improved the lives of blind peo-
ple by facilitating quick access to information, Braille lit-
eracy gives blind people the ability to read and to write 
and to do the two interactively; 
Whereas despite its efficiency, versatility, and universal ac-
ceptance by the blind, the rate of Braille literacy in the 
United States has declined to the point where only 10 
percent of blind children are learning the code; 
Whereas Braille is an important tool in the independence, 
productivity, and success for blind people; 
Whereas while 70 percent of the blind are unemployed, 85 
percent of those who are employed know Braille; 
Whereas the United States Congress officially recognized the 
importance of Braille by passing the Louis Braille Bicen-
•HRES 1034 EH 
tennial-Braille Literacy Commemorative Coin Act author-
izing the striking of a United States silver dollar marking 
the 200th anniversary of the birth of Louis Braille and 
emphasizing the connection between learning Braille and 
true independence and opportunity for the blind; and 
Whereas the National Federation of the Blind, the Nation’s 
oldest and largest organization of blind people and a 
leading advocate for Braille literacy in the United States, 
has launched a national ‘‘Braille Readers are Leaders’’ 
campaign to promote awareness of the importance of 
Braille and to increase the availability of competent 
Braille instruction and of Braille reading materials in 
this country: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the importance of Braille and the role 
that Braille plays in the lives of blind people; 
(2) recognizes the 70th anniversary of the National 
Federation of the Blind; and 
(3) supports the efforts of the National Federation 
of the Blind and other organizations to promote Braille 
literacy.

H. Res. 1041 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
April 13, 2010. 
Whereas the University of Idaho’s football team won the 
2009 Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, on December 
30, 2009, its first bowl game in more than a decade; 
Whereas Coach Robb Akey led the team to significantly im-
prove its win-loss record to 8–5 this past season, the first 
winning record since 1999; 
Whereas the University of Idaho beat Bowling Green Univer-
sity 43–42 after successfully executing a nail-biting 2- 
point play in the final seconds of the game; 
Whereas senior guard Mike Lupati was named to the Senior 
Bowl and as an All-American and Outland Trophy final-
ist for best college football interior lineman; 
Whereas teammates visited Saint Luke’s Regional Medical 
Hospital to visit with children patients as part of the Hu-
manitarian Bowl outreach; and 
Whereas University of Idaho supporters look forward to see-
ing the team build its promising momentum next season: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

Whereas, on January 13, 1903, the arrival of 102 pioneer 
Korean immigrants to the United States marked the first 
chapter of Korean immigration in this country; 
Whereas the Korean War began 60 years ago this June and 
impacted the lives of millions of Koreans; 
Whereas thousands of Koreans, fleeing from war and poverty, 
came to the United States seeking opportunities; 
Whereas Korean Americans, like thousands of immigrants to 
the United States before them, have built strong families 
and contributed to dynamic communities; 
Whereas more than a million people in the United States can 
trace their roots to Korea; 
Whereas the Centennial Committees of Korean Immigration 
and Korean Americans have designated January 13 of 
each year as ‘‘Korean American Day’’ to commemorate 
the first step of the long and prosperous journey of Ko-
rean Americans in the United States; and 
Whereas Korean Americans have contributed significantly to 
the development of the arts, sciences, engineering, medi-
cine, government, military, education, and the economy in 
the United States: Now, therefore, be it
•HRES 1036 EH 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges all
