RESOLUTION
Requesting that the President focus appropriate attention
on the issues of neighborhood crime prevention, commu-
nity policing, and reduction of school crime by delivering
speeches, convening meetings, and directing his Adminis-
tration to make reducing crime an important priority,
and for other purposes.
Whereas neighborhood crime is of continuing concern to the
American people;
Whereas the fight against neighborhood crime requires people
to work together in cooperation with law enforcement of-
ficials;
Whereas neighborhood crime watch organizations are effec-
tive at promoting awareness about, and the participation
of volunteers in, crime prevention activities at the local
level;
Whereas neighborhood crime watch groups can contribute to
the Nation’s war on drugs by helping to prevent their
communities from becoming markets for drug dealers;
Whereas crime and violence in schools is of continuing con-
cern to the American people due to the recent high-pro-
file incidents that have resulted in fatalities at several
schools across the United States;
Whereas community-based programs involving law enforce-
ment, school administrators, teachers, parents, and local
communities work effectively to reduce school violence
and crime;
Whereas citizens across the United States will soon take part
in ‘‘National Night Out’’, a unique crime prevention
event which will demonstrate the importance and effec-
•HRES 193 RH
tiveness of community participation in crime prevention
efforts by having people spend the period from 7 to 10
o’clock p.m. on August 7, 2001, with their neighbors in
front of their homes with their lights on; and
Whereas schools that turn their lights on from 7 to 10
o’clock p.m. on August 7, 2001, will send a positive mes-
sage to the participants of ‘‘National Night Out’’ and
show their commitment to reduce crime and violence in
schools: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the goals and ideas of ‘‘National
Night Out’’; and
(2) requests that the President—
(A) issue a proclamation calling on the
people of the United States to conduct appro-
priate ceremonies, activities, and programs to
demonstrate support for ‘‘National Night Out’’;
and
(B) focus appropriate attention on the
issues of neighborhood crime prevention, com-
munity policing, and reduction of school crime
by delivering speeches, convening meetings, and
directing his Administration to make reducing
crime an important priority.
