Supporting the goals and ideals of College Savings Month. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 20, 2005 
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan submitted the following concurrent resolution; which 
was referred to the Committee on Government Reform 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goals and ideals of College Savings Month. 
Whereas the people of the United States recognize the chal-
lenge and accept the responsibility of obtaining the edu-
cation and skills that will enable them to successfully 
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; 
Whereas since 1992 the annual amount of new student loan 
commitments has increased from $15,000,000,000 to
•HCON 183 IH 
$40,000,000,000, 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 National Association of State Treasurers and 
the College Savings Plan Network have requested that 
the Congress designate September as College Savings 
Month in order to 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 the Congress supports the goals and 
ideals of College Savings Month.

Recognizing the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture for 100 
years of dedicated service and caring for the forest lands of the United 
States. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 22, 2005 
Mr. GOODLATTE (for himself, Mr. PETERSON of Minnesota, Mr. WALDEN of 
Oregon, Mr. GUTKNECHT, and Mr. JENKINS) submitted the following 
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Agri-
culture, and in addition to the Committee on Resources, for a period to 
be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consider-
ation of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee 
concerned 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the Forest Service of the Department of Agri-
culture for 100 years of dedicated service and caring 
for the forest lands of the United States. 
Whereas Congress established the Forest Service in 1905 to 
manage certain forested lands in Federal ownership, now 
known as the National Forest System, to provide quality 
water and timber for the benefit of the United States; 
Whereas the mission of the Forest Service has been expanded 
by Congress to provide for additional multiple-use bene-
fits of the National Forest System, including sustained
•HCON 185 IH 
yield of renewable resources such as water, forage, wild-
life, wood, and recreation; 
Whereas the National Forest System currently encompasses 
191,000,000 acres, which are managed as 155 national 
forests and 20 grasslands in 44 States, Puerto Rico, and 
the Virgin Islands; 
Whereas the Forest Service also plays key roles in supporting 
forestry research, including research that promotes effi-
cient and innovative uses for wood and wood fiber; 
Whereas the Forest Service works with and through State, 
Tribal, and local governments to provide assistance to 
private forest landowners; and 
Whereas Gifford Pinchot, the first Chief of the Forest Serv-
ice, fostered the idea that ‘‘where conflicting interests 
must be reconciled, the question will always be decided 
from the standpoint of the greatest good of the greatest 
number in the long run’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) recognizes the Forest Service of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture for 100 years of dedicated serv-
ice and caring for the forest lands of the United 
States; 
(2) acknowledges the promise of the Forest 
Service to continue to care for the natural legacy of 
the United States; and
•HCON 185 IH 
(3) encourages the Forest Service to deliver 
multiple-use benefits efficiently as the agency enters 
its second century.

Mr. GOODE (for himself, Mr. JONES of North Carolina, Mr. SANDERS, and

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that the President should 
provide notice of withdrawal of the United States from 
the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). 
Whereas, according to the Department of Commerce, United 
States trade deficits with Canada and Mexico have sig-
nificantly widened since the implementation of the North 
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); 
Whereas, according to the Department of Labor, 1,800,000 
workers have applied for trade adjustment assistance as 
a result of jobs lost because of NAFTA; 
Whereas future unrestricted foreign trucking into the United 
States can pose a safety hazard due to inadequate main-
tenance and inspection, and can act collaterally as a con-

duit for the entry into the United States of illegal drugs 
and terrorist activities; and 
Whereas the economic and physical security of the United 
States is impaired by the potential loss of control of its 
borders attendant to the full operation of NAFTA: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

President should provide written notice of withdrawal of 
the United States from the North American Free Trade
