In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
September 24, 2007. 
Whereas each year tens of thousands of people go missing in 
the United States; 
Whereas, on any given day, there are as many as 100,000 
active missing persons cases in the United States; 
Whereas the Missing Persons File of the National Crime In-
formation Center (NCIC) was implemented in 1975; 
Whereas, in 2005, 109,531 persons were reported missing to 
law enforcement agencies nationwide, of whom 11,868 
were between the ages of 18 and 20; 
Whereas section 204 of the PROTECT Act, known as 
Suzanne’s Law and passed by Congress on April 10, 
2003, modifies section 3701(a) of the Crime Control Act 
of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 5779(a)), so that agencies must enter 
records into the NCIC database for all missing persons 
under the age of 21; 
Whereas Kristen’s Act (42 U.S.C. 14665), passed in 1999, 
has established grants for organizations to, among other 
things, track missing persons and provide informational 
services to families and the public; 
Whereas, according to the NCIC, 48,639 missing persons 
were located in 2005, an improvement of 4.2 percent 
from the previous year;
•HRES 303 EH 
Whereas many persons reported missing may be victims of 
Alzheimer’s disease or other health-related issues, or may 
be victims of foul play; 
Whereas, regardless of age or circumstances, all missing per-

dure the days, months, or years they may spend search-
ing for their missing loved ones; and 
Whereas it is important to applaud the committed efforts of
