CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a postage stamp
should be issued to recognize the achievements of Lewis
Howard Latimer.
Whereas Lewis Howard Latimer was an African-American in-
ventor, scientist, and humanist who lived from 1848 to
1928;
Whereas the scientific achievements of Lewis Howard Lati-
mer, including the discovery of the long lasting carbon
filament that made commercial light feasible, contributed
significantly to the electrical lighting industry;
•HCON 252 IH
Whereas the values and achievements of Lewis Howard Lati-
mer embody the spirit and essence of America, and he is
a positive role model for the youth of today;
Whereas Lewis Howard Latimer installed some of the earliest
outdoor electrical lighting systems used in Philadelphia
and New York, and wrote the 1st book concerning the
revolutionary electric lighting of Thomas Edison to be
published in the United States;
Whereas, as the son of former slaves and as a Civil War vet-
eran, Lewis Howard Latimer campaigned tirelessly to ad-
vance civil rights for all Americans;
Whereas Lewis Howard Latimer was not only a scientist, but
also a civic leader, an artist, and a poet;
Whereas Lewis Howard Latimer was a truly exceptional
American, and merits recognition and appreciation; and
Whereas, in February 1995, the Queens Borough Public Li-
brary will unveil an exhibition examining the life of Lewis
Howard Latimer against the backdrop of social and tech-
nological change that occurred in the United States from
1848 through 1928: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) a United States postage stamp should be is-
sued in recognition of the distinctive life and sci-
entific achievements of Lewis Howard Latimer and
his civic contributions to the social and technological
advancement of the United States; and
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee of
the United States Postal Service should recommend

H. CON. RES. 253
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the amount made available for
fiscal year 1995 for the program of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development under section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959
for supportive housing for low-income elderly persons should not be
reduced from the amount made available for fiscal year 1994.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 9, 1994
Mr. GALLO (for himself, Mr. KLECZKA, Mr. MANTON, Mr. LIPINSKI, Mr.
HAYES, Mr. BLUTE, Mr. EMERSON, Mr. SANDERS, Mr. LAZIO, Mr.
ENGEL, Ms. MOLINARI, Mr. MARTINEZ, and Mr. DEFAZIO) submitted
the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee
on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the amount made
available for fiscal year 1995 for the program of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development under
section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 for supportive
housing for low-income elderly persons should not be
reduced from the amount made available for fiscal year
1994.
Whereas since its inception 35 years ago, the program under
section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 for developing
housing for low-income elderly persons has successfully
created, through partnerships with private, nonprofit
HCON 253 IH
sponsors, more than 250,000 safe and affordable units
for senior citizens throughout the United States;
Whereas despite the continuing success of the program, there
remains a high demand among low-income senior citizens
in the United States for dwelling units in housing as-
sisted under section 202, evidenced by the waiting lists
for occupancy in such housing, which on average consist
of 8 persons for each vacancy occurring in such housing;
Whereas the number of persons eligible for residency in hous-
ing assisted under section 202 will continue to increase;
Whereas low-income senior citizens in the United States de-
serve the opportunity to live in safe, affordable housing;
and
Whereas the President’s budget of the United States Govern-
ment for fiscal year 1995 proposes reducing the amount
available for assistance under section 202 of such Act for
development of housing for low-income elderly persons by
87 percent from the amount made available for such as-
sistance in fiscal year 1994: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
amount made available for fiscal year 1995 for assistance
under section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 for the de-
velopment of supportive housing for low-income elderly
persons should not be reduced from the amount made
available for such assistance for fiscal year 1994.

Whereas trade and professional associations act as purchas-
ing cooperatives by combining employers and their em-
ployees into health insurance pools and offering them the
advantages of economy of scale, professional plan man-

Whereas recent estimates are that over ten million Americans
are covered under association health plans;
Whereas trade and professional associations have been in the
forefront of increasing access to their plans for those

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
