Whereas the people of the United States recognize the chal-

compete in the global economy of the 21st century;
Whereas since 1980 the rate of increase of the cost of post-
secondary education has exceeded the rate of increase of
inflation, public assistance to students, and family in-
come;
Whereas the rapidly rising cost of postsecondary education
poses a serious threat to the ability of the people of the
United States to ensure their and their children’s access
to postsecondary education;
•HCON 446 IH
Whereas since 1992 the annual amount of new student loan
commitments has increased from $15,000,000,000 to
$35,000,000,000, which represents an increasing burden
on college graduates to pay for their college education
long after that education is completed;
Whereas it is in the interest of the Nation to ensure that the
people of the United States have the opportunity to ob-
tain a postsecondary education and to encourage parents
to save for their children’s education;
Whereas many States have offered tax incentives to encour-
age their citizens to save for educational expenses;
Whereas additional Federal tax incentives to encourage the
people of the United States to save for educational ex-
penses became effective after December 31, 2001; and
Whereas the establishment of September as College Savings
Month would raise public awareness about the need to
save for educational expenses: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—
(1) a College Savings Month should be estab-
lished to raise public awareness about the need to
save for educational expenses; and
(2) the President should issue a proclamation
calling on the people of the United States to observe
such a month with appropriate programs and activi-
