Whereas BPD is inheritable and is exacerbated by environ-
mental factors; 
Whereas official recognition of BPD is relatively new, and di-
agnosing it is often impeded by lack of awareness and 
frequent co-occurrence with other conditions, such as de-
pression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, anxiety, and 
eating disorders; 
Whereas despite its prevalence, enormous public health costs, 
and the devastating toll it takes on individuals, families, 
and communities, BPD only recently has begun to com-
mand the attention it requires; 
Whereas it is essential to increase awareness of BPD among 
people suffering from this disorder, their families, mental

Whereas the miners of the United States have labored long 
and hard over the more than 231 years of our great 
country’s existence; 
Whereas miners and their families have achieved, provided, 
and sacrificed so much in those 2 centuries; 
Whereas the great mining tragedy at Monongah, West Vir-
ginia, that occurred on December 6, 1907, is recognized 
to this day for causing the greatest loss of lives in Amer-
ican industrial history; 
Whereas that tragedy helped to launch the National effort to 
secure the safety and health of our miners; 
Whereas the year 2006, 99 years after that tragic event, was 
marked by a series of mine tragedies that demonstrated 
the Nation’s continued need for vigilance in our mines 
and resulted in a new law to increase protection of our 
miners; 
Whereas the contributions of miners are so vital to our Na-
tion’s well-being yet so often taken for granted; and 
Whereas December 6 would be an appropriate date to observe 
a National Miner’s Day: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of a National 
Miner’s Day to celebrate and honor the contribu-
tions of miners; and 
(2) encourages the people of the United States 
to participate in local and National activities cele-
brating and honoring the contributions of miners.

H. Res. 100
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 1, 2007.
Whereas Guatemalan women were among the victims during 
the 36-year Guatemalan internal armed conflict which 
ended with the signing of the 1996 Peace Accords and 
ushered in the process of reconciliation; 
Whereas since 2001, more than 2,000 women and girls have 
been murdered in Guatemala often preceded by abduc-
tion, sexual assault, or brutal mutilation; 
Whereas from 2001 to 2006, the rate at which women and 
girls have been murdered in Guatemala has increased 
sharply, at a higher rate than the murder rate of men 
in Guatemala during the same period; 
Whereas the number of murders of Guatemalan women and 
girls has increased significantly from 303 in 2001 to 
more than 500 in 2006; 
Whereas, according to reports from Guatemalan officials, 
most of the victims are women ranging in age from 18 
to 30 and many were abducted in broad daylight in well-
populated areas; 
Whereas the manner and rate of murders of Guatemalan 
women and girls suggests an increase in gender based 
killings, an extreme form of violence against women that 
can include torture, mutilation, and sexual violence;
•HRES 100 EH 
Whereas, according to data from Guatemala’s Public Pros-
ecutors Office, few arrests and fewer convictions have 
taken place, leading to accusations that police, prosecu-
tors, forensics experts, and other state justice officials 
have not brought the perpetrators to justice; 
Whereas inadequate financial, human, and technical re-
sources, as well as a lack of forensic and technical exper-
tise, has complicated the arrest and prosecution of sus-
pects; 
Whereas the Guatemalan Human Rights Ombudsman reports 
that on ten separate occasions police officers have been 
implicated in the murder of Guatemalan women and girls 
and recommends that such officers and other officials be 
held accountable for their acts; 
Whereas the Guatemalan Special Prosecutor for Crimes 
Against Women, in her statements regarding the Guate-
malan murder cases, reported that her office has re-
viewed approximately 800 reports of domestic violence 
per month, with some of those cases ending in murder; 
Whereas the Government of Guatemala has undertaken ef-
forts to prevent violence against women, as evidenced by 
its ratification of the United Nations Convention Against 
Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treat-
ment or Punishment, the United Nations Convention on 
the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against 
Women, the Convention of Belem do Para, and other 
international human rights treaties, and the enactment of 
laws and the creation of state institutions to promote and 
protect the rights of women;

Whereas making breakfast widely available through different 
venues or a combination thereof, such as in the class-
room, obtained as students exit their school bus, or out-
side the classroom, has been shown to lessen the stigma 
of receiving free or reduced-price breakfast, which often 
prevents eligible students from obtaining traditional 
breakfast in the cafeteria; 
Whereas providing free universal breakfast, especially in the 
classroom, has been shown to significantly increase school 
breakfast participation rates and increase absences and 
tardiness; 
Whereas studies have shown that access to nutritious pro-
grams such as the National School Lunch Program and 
National School Breakfast Program helps to create a 
strong learning environment for children and helps to im-
prove children’s concentration in the classroom; 
Whereas providing breakfast in the classroom has been shown 
in several instances to improve attentiveness and aca-
demic performance, while reducing tardiness and discipli-
nary referrals; 
Whereas students who eat a complete breakfast have been 
shown to make fewer mistakes and work faster in math 
exercises than those who eat a partial breakfast; 
Whereas studies suggest that eating breakfast closer to class-
room and test-taking time improves student performance 
on standardized tests relative to students who skip break-
fast or have breakfast at home; 
Whereas studies show that students who skip breakfast are 
more likely to have difficulty distinguishing among simi-
