110TH CONGRESS 
1ST SESSION 
H. CON. RES. 94 
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES 
JUNE 7, 2007 
Received and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Encouraging the elimination of harmful fishing subsidies that 
contribute to overcapacity in commercial fishing fleets 
worldwide and that lead to the overfishing of global 
fish stocks. 
Whereas nearly 1,000,000,000 people around the world de-
pend on fish as their primary source of dietary protein; 
Whereas the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organiza-
tion has found that 75 percent of the world’s fish popu-
lations 
are 
currently 
fully 
exploited, 
over
HCON 94 RFS1S 
exploited, significantly depleted, or recovering from over-
exploitation; 
Whereas scientists have estimated that a significant percent-
age of big predator fish such as tuna, marlin, and sword-
fish are gone from the world’s oceans as a result of over-
fishing by foreign fishing fleets; 
Whereas the global fishing fleet capacity is estimated to be 
up to 250 percent greater than is needed to catch what 
the ocean can sustainably produce; 
Whereas the Congress recognized the threat of overfishing to 
our oceans and economy and therefore included the re-
quirement to end overfishing in the United States by 
2011 in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (Public Law 
109–479); 
Whereas the United States Commission on Ocean Policy and 
the Pew Oceans Commission identified overcapitalization 
of the global fishing fleets as a major contributor to the 
decline of economically important fish populations; 
Whereas harmful fishing subsidies encourage overcapitaliza-
tion and overfishing; support destructive fishing practices 
such as high seas trawling that would not otherwise be 
economically viable; and amount to billions of dollars an-
nually; 
Whereas such subsidies have also been documented to sup-
port illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing, which 
impacts commercial fisheries in the United States and 
around the world both economically and ecologically; 
Whereas harmful fishing subsidies are concentrated in rel-
atively few countries, putting other fishing countries, in-
cluding the United States, at an economic disadvantage;
HCON 94 RFS1S 
Whereas the United States is a world leader in advancing 
policies to eliminate harmful fishing subsidies that sup-
port overcapacity and promote overfishing; and 
Whereas a wide range of countries are currently engaged in 
historic negotiations to end harmful fishing subsidies that 
contribute to overcapacity and overfishing: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That the United States should continue to 
promote the elimination of harmful fishing subsidies that 
lead to— 
(1) overcapitalization; 
(2) overfishing; and 
(3) illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

A.M. Turing Award.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) Children three years of age and younger 
have the highest rates of victimization. Infants and 
toddlers are twice as likely as all other children to 
become victims of child maltreatment. Children ages 
three and younger are also 32 percent more likely to 
be placed in foster care than children ages four to 
eleven. Once placed in foster care, children three 
years of age and younger are more likely than older 
children to be abused and neglected, and they tend 
to stay in foster care longer than older children. 
(2) Infants and toddlers are the most vulner-
able to the effects of maltreatment. Research shows 
that young children who have experienced physical 
abuse have lower social competence, show less empa-
thy for others, and have difficulty recognizing oth-
ers’ emotions. They are also more likely than chil-
dren who have not been maltreated to have deficits 
in IQ scores, language ability, and school perform-
ance. 
(3) Research shows that the human brain has 
achieved 80 to 85 percent of its adult size by the age 
of three. During those early years, the brain is de-
veloping the vast majority of its basic capacity, the 
development of which can determine future achieve-

ment or failure. Therefore, infants and toddlers in 
foster care are spending the most critical develop-
mental period in situations that may be detrimental 
to healthy growth and development. 
(4) Children under the age of four account for 
81 percent of child fatalities, and children under the 
age of one account for 45 percent of such fatalities. 
(5) A rapidly spreading epidemic of meth-
amphetamine use is overwhelming child welfare sys-
tems in many States. Iowa is one of the States most 
ravaged by the methamphetamine epidemic, and it 
has the third highest rate of per capita methamphet-
amine treatment admissions in the Nation. In Iowa 
in 2004, the rate of maltreatment for infants and 
toddlers was 32.3 per 1,000 children, twice the na-
tional average of 16.1 per 1,000 children. 
(6) Child welfare systems are not meeting the 
needs of the children who rely on public intervention 
to protect them. In the Child and Family Service 
Reviews for fiscal years 2003 and 2004, the Admin-
istration for Children and Families revealed that, of 
19 States studied for performance on Child and 
Family Services Review indicators, none of the 
States achieved all of the specified outcomes, and all 
of the States failed to meet the outcome related to

Expressing the sense of the Congress that there should be 
enacted a mandatory national program to slow, stop and 
reverse emissions of greenhouse gases. 
Whereas greenhouse gases accumulating in the atmosphere 
are causing average temperatures to rise at a rate outside 
the range of natural variability and are posing a substan-
tial risk of rising sea-levels, altered patterns of atmos-
pheric and oceanic circulation, and increased frequency 
and severity of floods and droughts;

Whereas there is a growing scientific consensus that human 
activity is a substantial cause of greenhouse gas accumu-
lation in the atmosphere, and in February 2007, the 
United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 
Change (IPCC) issued its fourth assessment report, 
which concluded that warming of the climate system is 
unequivocal and that it is more than 90 percent probable 
that human activity, led by burning fossil fuels, caused 
most of the warming in the past 50 years; and 
Whereas mandatory steps will be required to slow or stop the 
growth of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that there 
should be enacted a comprehensive and effective national 
program of mandatory, market-based limits and incentives 
on emissions of greenhouse gases that slow, stop, and re-
verse the growth of such emissions at a rate and in a man-
ner that— 
(1) will not significantly harm the United 
States economy; and 
(2) will encourage comparable action by other 
nations that are major trading partners and key 
contributors to global emissions.
