Whereas an estimated 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 people in the 
United States suffer from eating disorders, including 
anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating dis-
order; 
Whereas eating disorders are more common among women, 
but an increasing number of men also suffer from these

Whereas an estimated .5 to 3.7 percent of women in the 
United States will suffer from anorexia nervosa in their 
lifetimes, an estimated 1.1 to 4.2 percent of women in 
the United States will suffer from bulimia nervosa, and 
an estimated two to five percent of people in the United
•HRES 506 IH 
States experience binge eating disorder during any given 
six-month period; 
Whereas anorexia nervosa has the highest premature mor-
tality rate of any mental illness; 
Whereas eating disorders are associated with serious physical 
health consequences, including irregular heartbeats, heart 
disease and heart failure, kidney failure, osteoporosis, 
gastric rupture, peptic ulcer, tooth decay, obesity, gall 
bladder disease, diabetes, and death; 
Whereas eating disorders are also associated with substantial 
psychological problems, including depression, substance 
abuse, and suicide; 
Whereas shame, guilt, and misunderstanding often afflict a 
person who suffers from an eating disorder, and prevent 
the treatment of the disorder; and 
Whereas the National Eating Disorders Association and its 
affiliated organizations have designated the week of Feb-
ruary 22, 2004, as National Eating Disorders Awareness 
Week, to increase public awareness of eating disorders 
and to promote healthful eating habits and a healthy 
body image: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the goals and ideals of National Eating Disorders Aware-
ness Week—
(1) to increase public awareness of eating dis-
orders; 
(2) to expand research for treatment and cures;

Recognizing and honoring the 50th anniversary of the United States Supreme 
Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 28, 2004
Mr. PAYNE submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing and honoring the 50th anniversary of the United 
States Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of 
Education.
Whereas 2004 marks the 50th anniversary of the United 
States Supreme Court decision in the case of Brown v. 
Board of Education (347 U.S. 483); 
Whereas in the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson (163 U.S. 
537), the Supreme Court upheld the doctrine of ‘‘sepa-
rate but equal’’ and allowed the continued segregation of 
public schools in the United States based on race; 
Whereas in 1951, Linda Brown, an African-American third 
grader, filed suit against the Board of Education of To-
peka after she was denied admission to an all-white pub-
lic school in Topeka, Kansas;
•HRES 508 IH 
Whereas in 1952, Linda Brown’s case was combined with 
similar cases throughout the United States and argued in 
front of the Supreme Court by future Supreme Court 
Justice Thurgood Marshall; 
Whereas the students argued that even if the educational fa-
cilities were of equal quality, segregation caused the edu-
cation of the students to be inherently unequal; 
Whereas the students further argued that the inequality 
caused by the segregation of public schools was a viola-
tion of their right to equal protection under the law guar-
anteed by the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the 
United States; 
Whereas on May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court overturned 
the decision of Plessy v. Ferguson, agreeing with the ar-
guments offered by the students and concluding that ‘‘in 
the field of public education, the doctrine of ‘separate but 
equal’ has no place’’; 
Whereas the Supreme Court determined that segregated 
schools are not equal because the separation generates a 
feeling of inferiority among minority students ‘‘that may 
affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever 
be undone’’; and 
Whereas the decision in Brown v. Board of Education led to 
the eventual desegregation of all public schools in the 
United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes and honors the 50th anniversary 
of the United States Supreme Court decision in 
Brown v. Board of Education; and
•HRES 508 IH 
(2) encourages all Americans to recognize the 
historical importance of the Supreme Court decision 
in Brown v. Board of Education.

excellence in the Nation; 
Whereas these men and women were skilled professionals, sci-
entists, physicians, and adventurers; 
Whereas they were family men and women, and represented 
the diversity of the Nation; 
Whereas, since its inception in 1958, the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration has accomplished 
many great scientific and technological feats in air and 
space, and NASA technology also has been adapted for 
many non-aerospace uses by the private sector; 
Whereas NASA provides insights into the origins, destiny, 
and wonder of the universe and is a source of dreams for 
young and old alike; 
Whereas NASA develops innovations that spur on the econ-
omy and keep the Nation on the cutting edge of tech-
nology, and has developed systems that make satellites 
and communications infrastructure more reliable and less 
vulnerable to cyberterrorism; and 
Whereas NASA inspires young engineers, scientists, and all 
sorts of people who want to a part of something truly 
great and noble. to push their minds to new levels of ex-
