Whereas Jumpstart’s Read for the Record, presented in part-
nership with Pearson, is a world record-breaking cam-
paign, now in its fifth year, that harnesses the power of 
reading by bringing adults and children together to read 
the same book on the same day; 
Whereas the goals of the campaign are to raise national 
awareness of the early literacy crisis, provide books to 
children in low-income households through donations and 
sponsorship, celebrate the commencement of Jumpstart’s 
program year, and raise money to support Jumpstart’s 
year-long work with preschool children; 
Whereas Jumpstart hopes to engage 2,500,000 children to 
read Ezra Jack Keats’ ‘‘The Snowy Day’’ during this 
record-breaking celebration of reading, service, and fun, 
all in support of the Nation’s preschool children; and 
Whereas October 7, 2010, would be an appropriate date to 
designate as national ‘‘Jumpstart’s Read for the Record 
Day’’ because it is the date Jumpstart aims to set a new 
world record for the world’s largest shared reading expe-

H. Res. 1543 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
July 28, 2010. 
Whereas, on July 14, 1960, Jane Goodall arrived at Gombe 
Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in western Tanzania, Africa; 
Whereas Jane Goddall’s research has led to numerous 
groundbreaking discoveries including the use of tools by 
chimpanzees; 
Whereas these and other behavioral observations of chim-
panzees forever changed human understanding of the dif-
ferences between humans and other animal species; 
Whereas between 1968 and 1986, Dr. Goodall published a 
collection of articles and books that remain the 
foundational scientific works of chimpanzee and wildlife 
studies alike; 
Whereas this included the publication by Harvard University 
Press of ‘‘The Chimpanzees of Gombe: Patterns of Be-
havior’’, which detailed the range of behaviors that make 
up the essential corpus of chimpanzee natural history and 
which remains today a critical reference of researchers in 
the field; 
Whereas Dr. Goodall’s writings not only formed the bedrock 
of the descriptive analytical study of chimpanzees, but 
they also altered the paradigm of the study of culture in
•HRES 1543 EH 
chimpanzees and other animals, especially species with 
complex social behaviors; 
Whereas in support of the research she began and to advance 
her vision, Dr. Goodall established the Gombe Stream 
Research Center in 1965 and the Jane Goodall Institute 
in 1977; 
Whereas traveling the world approximately 300 days a year, 
she delivers dozens of lectures and engages with youth of 
all ages; 
Whereas during the last half of the 20th century, she blazed 
a trail for and inspired other women primatologists, such 
that women now dominate long-term primate behavioral 
studies worldwide; 
Whereas Dr. Goodall has been a role model for youth of all 
ages, inspiring boys and girls alike to take action for peo-
ple, animals, and the environment; and 
Whereas through her Jane Goodall Institute, she established 
the Roots & Shoots global youth program which now has 
members in more than 110 countries: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the groundbreaking environmental 
education advancements by the Jane Goodall Institute’s 
Roots and Shoots initiative on the 50th anniversary of 
the beginning of Dr. Jane Goodall’s research; 
(2) recognizes the significant role that the research 
done by Dr. Goodall has had on the knowledge and un-
derstanding of both the natural and human worlds, and
•HRES 1543 EH 
its benefit to children and classrooms as they learn 
about the natural world; and 
(3) recognizes the valuable role that nature and 
science education plays in the conservation of natural re-
sources as evidenced through the work of Dr. Goodall.

Whereas the base of available knowledge is increasing expo-

Whereas postdocs conduct work and studies in a complex
