H. Res. 750
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
November 16, 2004.
Whereas in 1871 Sumner Increase Kimball was appointed as
the Chief of the Revenue Marine Division of the Depart-
ment of the Treasury;
Whereas in overhauling the Revenue Marine Division and de-
centralizing the system of lifesaving stations, Mr. Kimball
recommended the establishment of lifesaving stations on
the Great Lakes;
Whereas in 1874 Congress authorized the organization of the
Life-Saving Service into 12 districts, including 3 on the
Great Lakes;
Whereas the 8th district consisted of Lakes Erie and Ontario,
the 9th district consisted of Lakes Huron and Superior,
and the 10th district consisted of Lake Michigan;
Whereas in 1878 these lifesaving stations were organized
with others around the Nation as a separate agency of
the Department of the Treasury known as the United
States Life-Saving Service;
Whereas in 1854 at the direction of the Secretary of the
Treasury, lifesaving capabilities were first introduced to
the Great Lakes with 9 lifeboats placed on Lake Ontario,
14 lifeboats placed on Lake Erie, 23 lifeboats placed on
Lake Michigan, and 1 lifeboat placed on Lake Superior;
•HRES 750 EH
Whereas the forgotten heroes who served at lifesaving sta-
tions contended with giant squalls, wrecked vessels, and
low pay;
Whereas these men performed amazing rescues, but by far
the largest amount of work for the crews revolved around
drilling with the rescue equipment, patrol and lookout
duty, and general station upkeep;
Whereas the United States Life-Saving Service enabled the
shipping industry to rapidly grow on the Great Lakes;
Whereas when the United States Life-Saving Service ended
in 1915, 63 Great Lakes stations were in operation, in-
cluding one on the Mississippi River in Louisville, Ken-
tucky;
Whereas during the years of its operation, the Great Lakes
Life-Saving Service contended with 9,763 disasters, sav-
ing 55,639 people and $110,038,860 in property;
Whereas over the course of the United States Life-Saving
Service, 20 brave employees gave their lives while per-
forming their duties;
Whereas the organization that Mr. Kimball formed provided
the basis for the new search and rescue organization of
the Coast Guard; and
Whereas the constant attention to practice with rescue equip-
ment and inspections employed by the United States
Life-Saving Service is still in use today: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes the 130th anniversary of the creation
of lifesaving stations on the Great Lakes, which became
part of the United States Life-Saving Service;
•HRES 750 EH
(2) commends the personnel of the United States
Life-Saving Service whose efforts saved lives and prop-
erty on the Great Lakes; and
(3) acknowledges Sumner Increase Kimball for his
foresight in the field of marine safety and commitment
to maritime safety on the Great Lakes.

In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
September 9, 2004.
Whereas on September 11, 2001, while Americans were at-
tending to their daily routines, terrorists hijacked four ci-
vilian aircraft, crashing two of them into the towers of
the World Trade Center in New York City, and a third
into the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C., and a
fourth was prevented from also being used as a weapon
against America by brave passengers who placed their
country above their own lives;
Whereas three years later the country continues to, and shall
forever, mourn the tragic loss of life at the hands of ter-
rorist attackers;
Whereas by targeting symbols of American strength and suc-
cess, these attacks clearly were intended to assail the
principles, values, and freedoms of the United States and
the American people, intimidate the Nation, and weaken
the national resolve;
Whereas three years after September 11, 2001, the United
States is fighting a Global War on Terrorism to protect
America and her friends and allies;

Opposing the inclusion in future free trade agreements of 
provisions that would have the effect of restricting, un-

Whereas the House of Representatives has, by a commanding

Americans greater access to safe, effective, affordable 
prescription drugs imported from Canada and other al-
lied nations; × 
Whereas the Senate is considering legislation that would give 
Americans greater access to safe, effective, affordable
•HRES 758 IH 
prescription drugs imported from Canada and other al-
lied nations; × 
Whereas the importation of safe, effective, affordable pre-
scription drugs is a reasoned, market-based response to 
a brand name drug industry pricing policy that is biased 
against the United States, harmful to the American econ-
omy and the health and well-being of the American peo-
ple, and unsustainable over the long term; × 
Whereas provisions of the free trade agreements with Singa-
pore, Australia, and Morocco would subject the United 
States Government to international trade suits by the 
drug industry if prescription drug importation legislation 
were implemented; × 
Whereas the Central America Free Trade Agreement signed 
this year by the President contains provisions that would 
undermine efforts to give Americans greater access to 
safe, effective, affordable imported prescription drugs; 
and × 
Whereas similar ‘‘investor-to-state’’ suits have been brought 
against governmental authorities in the United States 
under earlier free trade agreements, effectively under-
mining the ability of those authorities to protect the

rich that future by helping children advance their hopes

Whereas it is in the public interest to increase awareness of
children’s special needs and the demonstrably effective ef-
forts of those making a real difference in children’s lives,
which in turn and over time will serve to strengthen the
social fabric of our country;
Whereas the Festival of Children Foundation has been estab-
lished in southern California (1) to showcase those non-
profit groups performing exemplary works, so that they
may through increased exposure secure and sustain the
volunteer, leadership, and financial support necessary to
be successful, (2) to provide a free resource to such
groups so that they might more easily leverage scarce re-
sources through creative, collaborative efforts to serve
their shared constituencies for the betterment of the com-
munity at large, and (3) to provide a free and effective
platform to facilitate such groups sharing lessons learned
in bringing a results orientation to community mobiliza-
tion, strategic planning, and overall best practices;
•HRES 759 EH
Whereas during the last two years more than 100 non-profit
groups in southern California have benefited enormously
from exposure they could not otherwise have received but
for the Festival of Children Foundation, principally
through programs and activities at partner organizations
such as retail, commercial, and cultural centers;
Whereas September is a time, as children return to school,
that families and the Nation as a whole are especially
mindful of children and their special needs and opportu-
nities; and
Whereas in September 2004 the Festival of Children Founda-
tion, working with its partners, has invited 50 agencies
and organizations that serve children throughout south-
ern California to have a month of high profile exhibits
along with another 50 such groups to participate in other
programs and activities as part the Foundation’s ongoing
mission: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives commends
the Festival of Children Foundation of southern California—
(1) for its outstanding efforts on behalf of children;
and
(2) for the difference that it is making in the com-
munities in which it is active and in the lives of children.
