•HRES 352 EH 
Whereas the capital asset program of the General Services 
Administration is authorized annually to provide Federal 
employees with necessary office space, courts of law, and 
other special purpose facilities; 
Whereas since 1972 the Nation has invested more than 
$250,000,000,000 in wastewater infrastructure facilities 
to establish a system that includes 16,000 publicly owned 
wastewater treatment plants, 100,000 major pumping 
stations, 600,000 miles of sanitary sewers, and 200,000 
miles of storm sewers; 
Whereas the Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Ad-
ministration is charged with the safe and secure move-
ment of almost 1,000,000 daily shipments of hazardous 
materials by all modes of transportation and oversees the 
safety and security of 2,200,000 miles of gas and haz-
ardous liquid pipelines, which account for 64 percent of 
the energy commodities consumed in the United States; 
Whereas the National Railroad Passenger Corporation annu-
ally provides more than 25,000,000 people with intercity 
rail service; 
Whereas over the next 5 years, 8 airfield projects, including 
5 runways, 2 runway extensions, and 1 airfield reconfig-
uration, will be commissioned providing some of the busi-
est airports in the Nation with the potential to accommo-
date more than 400,000 additional annual operations, 
while decreasing the average delay per operation at these 
airports by approximately 2 minutes; 
Whereas in the report of the Department of Transportation 
entitled ‘‘2006 Status of the Nation’s Highways, Bridges, 
and Transit: Conditions & Performance’’, the Depart-
ment confirms that investment in the Nation’s highway,
•HRES 352 EH 
bridge, and transit infrastructure has not kept up with 
growing demands on the system; 
Whereas in that report, the Department of Transportation 
found that to maintain highway, bridge, and transit net-
works, governments at all levels would need to invest 
$94,600,000,000 per year for each of the next 20 years, 
and to improve highway, bridge, and transit networks 
that level of investment would need to increase to 
$153,700,000,000 per year; and 
Whereas public works professionals are observing National 
Public Works Week from May 20 through 26, 2007: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of National Public 
Works Week; 
(2) recognizes and celebrates the important con-
tributions that public works professionals make every 
day to improve the public infrastructure of the United 
States and the communities that those professionals 
serve; and 
(3) urges citizens and communities throughout the 
United States to join with representatives of the Federal 
Government in activities and ceremonies that are de-
signed to pay tribute to the public works professionals 
of the Nation and to recognize the substantial contribu-
•HRES 352 EH

H. Res. 353 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 26, 2008. 
Whereas the annual commemoration of Men’s Health Week 
during the week preceding Father’s Day gives new reason 
to consider the critical need to improve detection and 
treatment of prostate cancer; 
Whereas prostate cancer now strikes at least one in six Amer-
ican men, with African-American men having a 60 per-
cent higher incidence rate than Caucasian men and a 
mortality rate twice as high; 
Whereas each year more than 230,000 American men are 
newly diagnosed with prostate cancer, more than 
1,500,000 men have biopsies, and around 30,000 men 
fall prey to this potential killer; 
Whereas it is important for men to take advantage of pros-
tate cancer screening exams in order to detect the disease 
at the earliest opportunity, when it is still curable; 
Whereas a recent study funded by the National Cancer Insti-
tute demonstrated that the most common available meth-
ods of detecting prostate cancer, the PSA blood test and 
physical exams, are not foolproof—imaging would be an-
other beneficial factor in the diagnosis and treatment of 
prostate cancer;
•HRES 353 EH1S 
Whereas the use of advanced imaging technologies to detect 
and treat prostate cancer could be beneficial for elimi-
nating unnecessary and costly medical procedures that 
increase psychological and emotional trauma for Amer-
ican men and their families; 
Whereas the lack of accurate imaging tools means that biop-
sies can miss cancer even when multiple samples are 
taken, and current treatments—either radical surgery or 
radiation—can leave 50 to 80 percent of men incontinent 
or impotent or both; and 
Whereas advanced imaging technologies could be combined 
with treatment tools to perform image-guided, minimally 
invasive and precisely targeted interventions, which will 
be performed in outpatient clinics with minimal discom-
fort, complications and costs and which will end the fear, 
pain, suffering and costs that prostate cancer causes men 
and their families: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that there should be increased support for research and 
development of advanced imaging technologies for prostate 
cancer detection and treatment. 
Attest: 
Clerk.

Whereas, Lake Sidney Lanier has won the prestigious Chief 
of Engineers Annual Project of the Year Award, the 
highest recognition from the Army Corps of Engineers 
for outstanding management, an unprecedented 3 times 
in 12 years—1990, 1997 and 2002; 
Whereas Lake Sidney Lanier hosted the paddling and rowing 
events for the 1996 Summer Olympics; 
Whereas marinas serve as the gateway to recreation for the 
public on America’s waterways; 
Whereas Lake Sidney Lanier is now home to 10 marinas 
—Aqualand Marina, Bald Ridge Marina, Gainesville Ma-
rina, Habersham Marina, Holiday on Lake Sidney La-
nier, Lanier Harbor Marina, Lazy Days Marina, Port 
Royale Marina, Starboard Cove Marina, and Sunrise

H. Res. 355
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 7, 2007.
Whereas the United States is a Pacific nation; 
Whereas the East-West Center, as established by the United 
States Congress in 1960, contributes to a peaceful, pros-
perous, and just Asia Pacific community by conducting 
cooperative research, education, and dialogue programs 
on critical issues of common concern to the Asia Pacific 
region and the United States; 
Whereas the Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders was cre-
ated in 1980 at the East-West Center, which sponsors 
and supports this regional institution through its Pacific 
Islands Development Program; 
Whereas the Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders is the 
most broadly-based regional cooperation institution in the 
Pacific, including 20 leaders from both independent Pa-
cific island nations and other Pacific governments; 
Whereas for the first the time in its history, through the co-
operation of the East-West Center, the Department of 
State, and Congress, the Pacific Islands Conference of 
Leaders is convening May 7, 2007, through May 9, 2007, 
in Washington, D.C.; 
Whereas the United States has maintained deep and endur-
ing relations with the peoples of the Pacific islands dur-
•HRES 355 EH 
ing times of peace and war and is linked to the Pacific 
not only through geography but also through common in-
terest and values; 
Whereas the governments of the Pacific Islands Region are 
key partners with the United States in combating ter-
rorism in all its forms; 
Whereas the United States and the Pacific island nations can 
enhance their cooperation in many other areas, including 
mutually beneficial trade and economic relationships, 
tourism, environmental protection, maintenance of fish-
eries, and other maritime resources, addressing climate 
change, democracy and good governance, and combating 
the spread of infectious diseases; and 
Whereas there are increasing numbers of Americans of Pa-
cific islander ancestry making myriad contributions to 
America’s dynamism and diversity: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes and welcomes the leaders of the Pa-
cific Islands to Washington, D.C.; and 
(2) commends the East-West Center for hosting the 
Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders.

renamed the capital city’s international airport ‘‘Alex-
ander the Great’’; 
Whereas the aforementioned acts constitute a breach of the 
FYROM’s international obligations deriving from the 
spirit of the United Nations Interim Accord, which pro-
vides that FYROM should abstain from any form of 
‘‘propaganda’’ against Greece’s historical or cultural her-
itage; 
Whereas such acts are not compatible with the Article 10 of 
the United Nations Interim Accord regarding ‘‘improving 
understanding and good neighbourly relations’’, as well 
as with European standards and values endorsed by Eu-
ropean Union member-states; and 
Whereas this information, like that exposed in the media re-
port and elsewhere, being used contrary to the United 
Nations Interim Accord instills hostility and a rationale 
for irredentism in portions of the population of the 
FYROM toward Greece and the history of Greece: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) urges the Former Yugoslav Republic of 
Macedonia (FYROM) to observe its obligations 
under Article 7 of the 1995 United Nations-brokered 
Interim Accord which directs the parties to ‘‘prompt-
ly take effective measures to prohibit hostile activi-
ties or propaganda by state-controlled agencies and 
to discourage acts by private entities likely to incite 
violence, hatred or hostility’’ and review the contents

Whereas the Intermediate Space Challenge enables students
