IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 27, 2004
Mrs. MYRICK submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on Ways and Means 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Transparency 
Day, which promotes the financial transparency of chari-
table organizations.
Whereas the people of the United States are an exceedingly 
generous people, having contributed more than $241 bil-
lion to charitable organizations in 2002; 
Whereas millions of people in the United States and around 
the world benefit from the charitable contributions of the 
people of the United States; 
Whereas the financial strength and success of charitable or-
ganizations in the United States are dependent upon the 
confidence of donors that their contributions are used for 
their stated purposes and are not misappropriated or 
misused;
‘‘(ii) a biological product (as defined 
in section 351 of the Public Health Service 
Act (42 U.S.C. 262)); 
‘‘(iii) an infused drug (including a 
peritoneal dialysis solution); 
‘‘(iv) an intravenously injected drug; 
‘‘(v) a drug that is inhaled during sur-
gery; 
‘‘(vi) a parenteral drug; 
‘‘(vii) a drug manufactured through 1 
or more biotechnology processes, includ-
ing—
‘‘(I) a therapeutic DNA plasmid 
product; 
‘‘(II) 
a 
therapeutic 
synthetic 
peptide product of not more than 40 
amino acids; 
‘‘(III) a monoclonal antibody 
product for in vivo use; and

States Armed Forces with the capability to quickly and 
efficiently respond in the event of a national emergency; 
Whereas the reserve component constitutes approximately 40 
percent of the Armed Forces, numbering over 873,000 
individuals; 
Whereas the reserve component is essential to the capability 
of the Armed Forces to fight wars; 
Whereas members of the reserve component are currently en-
gaged in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the larger war on ter-
rorism; 
Whereas 41 percent of the members of the reserve component 
reported that they were paid less during their most re-
cent period of activation than they were by the civilian 
jobs they held before entering active service, causing 
many of them financial hardship; 
Whereas most members of the reserve component are home-
owners, and owning a home constitutes both an integral 
part of the American dream and a significant financial 
obligation; 
Whereas the activation of the reserve component results in an 
increase in the number of insolvencies, bankruptcies, and 
foreclosures, all of which create a larger workload for fi-
nancial institutions; 
Whereas financial institutions do commendable work in pro-
viding affordable home loans, which in turn has contrib-
uted to historic highs in American homeownership; and 
Whereas financial institutions are subject to regulations 
which prohibit amending certain financial contracts, in-
cluding home loans: Now, therefore, be it
