amendment to the United States Constitution, to court- 
appointed counsel in all cases where imprisonment is a 
possibility; 
Whereas 50 years after the Gideon v. Wainwright decision, 
excessive caseloads are preventing counsel for indigent 
defendants from providing quality representation; and 
Whereas the provision of counsel to indigent defendants often 
lacks fairness and increases the risk that poor people will 
be wrongfully convicted: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes and honors the 50th anniversary 
of the decision in Gideon v. Wainwright; 
(2) encourages all people in the United States 
to recognize and honor the 50th anniversary of the 
Gideon v. Wainwright decision; and 
(3) supports strategies to improve the criminal 
justice system to ensure that indigent defendants in 
all felony cases are adequately represented by coun-

(1) The Congressional Research Service, a spe-
cial reference unit within the Library of Congress, 
offers invaluable research and analysis to Members 
of Congress on all current and emerging issues of 
national policy. 
(2) The Congressional Research Service staff of 
approximately 700 employees, including lawyers, 
economists, reference librarians, and social, natural, 
and physical scientists, are governed by require-
ments for accuracy, objectivity, balance, and non-
partisanship. 
(3) The Congressional Research Service has a 
responsibility to ensure that Members of Congress 
have available the best possible information and 
analysis on which to base the policy decisions the 
American people have elected them to make. 
(4) It is often burdensome, difficult, and time- 
consuming for citizens to obtain access to objective 
and nonpartisan policy analysis on issues affecting 
their interests. 
(5) It will enhance our democracy to provide 
citizens with access to unbiased and accurate CRS

RESOLUTION 
Celebrating the history of municipal bonds, the 100-year 
precedent of the Federal tax exemption for municipal 
bond interest, and the important contribution municipal 
bonds have made to economic growth and wellbeing in 
each State and municipality in our great Nation. 
Whereas in the 200 years since the first recorded municipal 
bond was issued by the City of New York to build a 
canal, municipal bonds have helped build a strong econ-
omy and provide for the health and welfare of our citi-
zenry; 
Whereas three-quarters of all infrastructure investments 
made in the United States are financed by municipal 
bonds;

Whereas municipal bonds finance infrastructure projects that 
touch the daily lives of every American citizen and busi-
ness—roads we drive on, schools and education for our 
children, affordable family housing, water systems that 
supply safe drinking water, courthouses, hospitals and 
clinics to treat the sick, airports and ports that help 
move products domestically and overseas, and utility 
plants that power our homes, businesses, and factories; 
Whereas interest on municipal bonds is exempt from Federal 
taxation as part of the principle of reciprocal immunity 
under which the Federal Government is exempt from 
State and local taxation and State and local governments 
are exempt from Federal taxation; 
Whereas the Federal Revenue Act of 1913 codified this prin-
ciple as part of the Federal income tax by exempting 
from income tax the interest on municipal bonds; 
Whereas exempting municipal bond interest from Federal 
taxation reduces the cost of infrastructure financing by 
State and local governments; 
Whereas reduced infrastructure costs for State and local gov-
ernments allow for greater infrastructure investments 
and savings passed directly to taxpayers and ratepayers 
in the form of reduced taxes and fees; 
Whereas, because of critical infrastructure needs, it is esti-
mated that in 2013, $300 billion of municipal bonds will 
be issued; 
Whereas keeping infrastructure costs low is critical for job 
creation and rebuilding infrastructure is crucial to our 
Nation’s State and local economies, including power gen-
eration, distribution, and transmission;
