H. Res. 1494 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
September 27, 2008. 
Whereas on November 25, 1908, the 1st edition of The 
Christian Science Monitor was printed in Boston’s Back 
Bay; 
Whereas just over 100 days before The Monitor’s 1st edition, 
its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, then 87 years old, told of-
ficers of her church to ‘‘start a daily newspaper at once’’; 
Whereas Mrs. Eddy wanted The Monitor to blaze a path of 
unselfish service through journalism; 
Whereas Mrs. Eddy, who had been the subject of inaccurate 
stories in the press, set as The Monitor’s mission ‘‘to in-
jure no man, but to bless all mankind’’; 
Whereas The Monitor followed the first editor’s request that 
the paper ‘‘cover the daily activities of the entire world’’ 
and ‘‘appeal to good men and women everywhere who are 
interested in the betterment of all human conditions’’; 
Whereas The Monitor’s focus was never local or denomina-
tional; 
Whereas The Monitor is distributed to readers in all 50 
States in print and online and has received worldwide re-
spect for its international news coverage;
•HRES 1494 EH 
Whereas Mrs. Eddy became the first American woman to 
launch a lasting, general interest newspaper; 
Whereas The Monitor has been honored with numerous major 
awards including seven Pulitzer Prizes for excellence in 
journalism; and 
Whereas since 1966 The Monitor has sponsored 3,600 Wash-
ington newsmaker breakfasts, whose guests have included 
countless cabinet officers and congressional leaders, four 
presidents, and five vice presidents: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes 
the 100th anniversary of The Christian Science Monitor.

H. Res. 1499 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
September 27, 2008. 
Whereas it is estimated that over 120,000,000 Americans do 
not have up-to-date estate plans to protect themselves or 
their families in the event of sickness, accidents, or un-
timely death; 
Whereas a 2004 Roper poll commissioned by the American 
Institute for Certified Public Accountants found that 
two-thirds of Americans over age 65 believe they lack the 
knowledge necessary to adequately plan for retirement, 
and nearly one half of all Americans are unfamiliar with 
basic retirement tools, such as a 401(k) plan; 
Whereas careful estate planning can greatly assist Americans 
in preserving assets built over a lifetime for the benefit 
of family, heirs, or charities; 
Whereas estate planning involves many considerations, in-
cluding safekeeping of important documents, documenta-
tion of assets, operation of law in the various States, 
preparation of legal instruments, insurance, availability 
of trust arrangements, charitable giving, inter vivos care 
of the benefactor, and other important factors; 
Whereas estate planning encourages timely decisions about 
the method of holding title to certain assets, the designa-
•HRES 1499 EH 
tion of beneficiaries, and the possible transfer of assets 
during the life of the benefactor; 
Whereas many Americans are unaware that lack of estate 
planning and ‘‘financial illiteracy’’ may cause their assets 
to be disposed of to unintended parties by default 
through the complex process of probate; 
Whereas alternatives to disposition of assets after death, such 
as planned gift-giving, may accomplish a benefactor’s 
goal of providing for his or her family and favorite char-
ities; 
Whereas careful planning can prevent family members or 
other beneficiaries from being subjected to complex legal 
and administrative processes requiring significant ex-
penditure of time, and greatly reduce confusion or even 
animosity among family members or other heirs upon the 
death of a loved one; 
Whereas important considerations as to donation of organs 
and use of life support functions may be made through 
the estate planning process; 
Whereas the implementation of an estate plan starts with 
sound education and planning, and then may require the 
proper drafting and execution of appropriate legal docu-
ments, including wills, trusts, and durable powers of at-
torney for health care; 
Whereas the third week of October should be designated as 
‘‘National Estate Planning Awareness Week’’; and 
Whereas the National Association of Estate Planners and 
Councils, representing over 28,000 estate planning pro-
fessionals, together with the Universal Press Syndicate, 
the largest independent newspaper syndicate in the world, 
are prepared to provide such educational information to
•HRES 1499 EH 
the public in a focused manner during National Estate 
Planning Awareness Week: Now, therefore be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

information by professionals to all Americans; and
