Whereas engineers have helped meet the major technological 
challenges of our time—from rebuilding towns devastated 
by natural disasters to designing an information super-
highway that will speed our country into the future; 
Whereas engineers are a crucial link in research, develop-
ment, and demonstration and in transforming scientific 
discoveries into useful products, and we will look more 
than ever to engineers and their knowledge and skills to 
meet the challenges of the future; 
Whereas engineers play a crucial role in developing the con-
sensus engineering standards that permit modern econo-
mies and societies to exist; 
Whereas the 2006 National Academy of Sciences report enti-

worrisome trend that fewer students are now focusing on 
engineering in college at a time when increasing numbers 
of today’s 2,000,000 United States engineers are nearing 
retirement;
•HRES 117 EH 
Whereas the National Society of Professional Engineers 
through National Engineers Week and other activities is 
raising public awareness of engineers’ significant, positive

coalition of more than 70 engineering, education, and cul-
tural societies, and more than 50 major corporations and

tributions that our first President, a military engineer

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MARCH 15, 2010 
Mr. QUIGLEY (for himself and Mr. COOPER) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
public debt as a share of gross domestic product should 
be stabilized at not more than 60 percent by 2018. 
Whereas 
the 
United 
States 
Government 
is

an 
unsustainable fiscal path; 
Whereas public debt has never amounted to more than 120 
percent of gross domestic product (GDP), even in the 
years immediately following World War II; 
Whereas public debt is now projected to rise to more than 
twice the size of the economy by 2035 and to more than 
three times the size of the economy by 2050; 
Whereas the consequences of this unprecedented and 
unsustainable rise in the public debt as a share of GDP 
will be tangible and severe;

•HRES 1183 IH 
Whereas a high public debt to GDP ratio crowds out private 
investment, redirects Government revenues to non-pro-
ductive debt service, weakens the dollar’s purchasing 
power, and slows economic growth and job creation; 
Whereas a high public debt to GDP ratio undermines con-
fidence in our economy and threatens our ability to bor-
row in international markets; 
Whereas the cost of inaction will ultimately be borne by ordi-
nary American taxpayers; and 
Whereas it is within the power of Congress to enact budget 
reform that addresses this looming debt crisis: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) public debt as a share of gross domestic 
product should be stabilized at not more than 60 
percent by 2018; and 
(2) annual deficits as a share of gross domestic
