H. Res. 361 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
September 8, 2009. 
Whereas in the early 1900s, Historic Virginia Key Beach 
Park of Miami, Florida, was frequented by African-Amer-
ican and Caribbean settlers arriving by ferry from main-
land South Florida; 
Whereas in the summer of 1945, on the beach at Baker’s 
Haulover County Park, a group of black men led by then 
attorney Lawson E. Thomas staged a protest against the 
unjust segregation laws that prohibited black people from 
using the public beaches in South Florida; 
Whereas in response to the protest, county officials des-
ignated Virginia Key Beach Park as the ‘‘Colored 
Beach’’, a segregated beach site for the African-American 
community which opened on August 1, 1945; 
Whereas, even after civil rights laws opened all the public 
beaches in South Florida to people of all races and 
ethnicities, Virginia Key Beach Park remained a popular 
destination for many in the African-American community 
for several decades; 
Whereas in 1979, the site was transferred from the county 
to the City of Miami with the stipulation that the beach 
be kept open and maintained as a public park and recre-
ation area;

•HRES 361 EH 
Whereas in 1982, citing the high cost of maintenance and op-
erations, the City of Miami closed Virginia Key Beach 
Park shortly after assuming its responsibility; 
Whereas in 1990, the City of Miami Commission responded 
to citizen outcry and established the Virginia Key Beach 
Park Trust (hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Trust’’) to re-
store, reopen, and preserve the site for public use; 
Whereas the late M. Athalie Range, an African-American 
community leader and the first woman to sit on the City 
of Miami Commission, worked with the community to 
save Virginia Key Beach Park from the grasp of devel-
opers, and deliver it back to the people. She lobbied to 
place the property on the National Register of Historic 
Places, spearheaded funding for a multi-billion dollar res-
toration program, and planned a new museum/cultural 
center that would one day, impart the message of social 
equality and responsible citizenry for future generations; 
Whereas in June 2002, the Trust successfully petitioned Fed-
eral and State government officials to place the site on 
the National Register of Historic Places and give it a 
Florida Historical Marker; 
Whereas in 2003, the Dade Community Foundation estab-
lished the Historic Virginia Key Beach Park Trust Fund 
to collect charitable donations to help restore and pre-
serve the park; and 
Whereas on February 22, 2008, after extensive renovation by 
the Trust, Historic Virginia Key Beach Park celebrated 
its grand re-opening for public use by the entire commu-
nity with a ribbon cutting ceremony and community con-
cert: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
•HRES 361 EH 
(1) recognizes the extraordinary historical, cultural, 
and recreational significance of Historic Virginia Key 
Beach Park of Miami, Florida; 
(2) recommits its attempt to protect and preserve 
American history through national parks and historic 
sites; and 
(3) acknowledges the significance of the African- 
American community’s struggle for equality through its 
collaborative efforts to preserve this historic site.

H. Res. 362 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
March 4, 2010. 
Whereas the National School Lunch Program is declared to 
be the policy of the United States Congress, as a measure 
of national security, to safeguard the health and well- 
being of the Nation’s children and to encourage the do-
mestic consumption of nutritious agricultural commod-
ities and other food, by assisting the States, through 
grants-in-aid and other means, in providing an adequate 
supply of food and other facilities for the establishment, 
maintenance, operation, and expansion of nonprofit 
school lunch programs; 
Whereas Federal regulations further state that participating 
schools shall ensure that children gain a full under-
standing of the relationship between proper eating and 
good health; 
Whereas local educational agencies are responsible for col-
laborating with the school community to implement com-
prehensive nutrition and wellness policies in schools that 
participate in the National School Lunch Program; 
Whereas all of the Nation’s more than 49,000,000 pupils de-
serve access to high-quality, safe, nutritious meals avail-
able in the school setting, recognizing the link between 
adequate nourishment and educational performance;
•HRES 362 EH 
Whereas children that experience hunger have been shown to 
be more likely to have lower math scores, decreased at-
tentiveness, increased likelihood of repeating a grade, in-
creased absences and tardiness, and more referrals to 
special education services; 
Whereas in 2009, the National School Lunch Program in the 
United States provided over 31,000,000 meals to school 
children daily, and must comply with rigorous State and 
Federal requirements, provide adequate food preparation 
and dining facilities, and cover costs to provide reimburs-
able meals including food, energy, transportation, labor, 
and other costs; 
Whereas the National School Lunch Program must provide 
nutritious meals that are consistent with the goals of the 
most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans; 
Whereas the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies 
of Sciences recommends increased amounts of fruits, 
vegetables, and whole grains in the National School 
Lunch Program, and that measures to improve the qual-
ity of meals may increase program costs and the need for 
administrative support; 
Whereas school food service must operate on a nonprofit 
basis, and it is expected that the Federal subsidy for a 
free meal will, on average, cover the costs of producing 
a reimbursable meal; 
Whereas the U.S. Department of Agriculture identified that 
the full cost to produce a reimbursable lunch generally 
exceeds the Federal reimbursement for a free lunch; and 
Whereas revenue deficits in school meal programs must be 
offset by generating additional revenue from other
•HRES 362 EH 
sources that may otherwise support classroom instruc-
tion: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of the National 
School Lunch Program; and 
(2) recognizes that America’s pupils deserve access 
to high-quality, safe, nutritious meals available in the 
school setting.

blood vessel growth in the ‘‘wet’’ form of AMD, thereby 
stabilizing and often restoring vision; 
Whereas the NEI has been a leader in collaborative research 
with other Federal entities, such that its bioengineering 
research partnership with the National Science Founda-
tion and the Department of Energy has resulted in a ret-
inal chip implant, referred to as the ‘‘Bionic Eye’’, that 
has enabled individuals who have been blind for decades 
to perceive visual images; 
Whereas the NEI has been a leader in collaborative research 
with private funding entities, such that its human gene 
therapy trial with the Foundation Fighting Blindness for 
individuals with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), a 
rapid retinal degeneration that blinds infants in their 
first year of life, has demonstrated measurable vision im-
provement even within the initial safety trials; 
Whereas in the decade 2010 through 2020, the Nation will 
face unprecedented public health challenges associated 
with aging, health disparities, and chronic disease; and 
Whereas Federal support at the NEI and related Department 
of Health and Human Services agencies is essential for 
the prevention and early detection, access to treatment 
and rehabilitation, and research associated with vision 
impairment and eye disease: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the 40th anniversary of the National 
Eye Institute (NEI), commends it for its leadership, and 
supports its mission to prevent blindness and to save 
and restore vision;
