Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with regard to
fibromyalgia.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 30, 1999
Mr. LUCAS of Oklahoma submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Commerce
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with
regard to fibromyalgia.
Whereas fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by
widespread musculoskeletal pain and tenderness in local-
ized areas of the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips called
‘‘tender points,’’ as well as by fatigue, restless sleep, and
discomfort in other organ areas, such as the intestine and
the temporomandibular joint;
Whereas, according to the Arthritis Foundation, fibromyalgia
affects approximately 3.7 million people in the United
States;
Whereas a disproportionate number of those affected by
fibromyalgia are women;
Whereas the exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but
fibromyalgia may be triggered by stress, trauma, or pos-
sibly an infectious agent in susceptible people; and
Whereas there is no known cure for fibromyalgia, but a com-
bination of exercise, medication, physical therapy, and re-
laxation can help relieve the symptoms of fibromyalgia:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes the severity of the issue of
fibromyalgia;
(2) calls on the United States as a whole to
support individuals affected by fibromyalgia through
public awareness and education;
(3) recognizes the leadership of the Arthritis
Foundation, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, and the States in developing the Na-
tional Arthritis Action Plan which includes strate-
gies to address all forms of arthritis, including
fibromyalgia;
(4) recognizes the importance of committing re-
sources to the National Arthritis Action Plan which
the Arthritis Foundation, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, and the States have just
begun to implement;
(5) recognizes the importance of scientific re-
search in determining the cause (or causes) of and
effective treatments for fibromyalgia; and
(6) recognizes the importance of committing re-
sources to the Arthritis Foundation, the National
Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin
Diseases, and other relevant Federal research insti-
tutions to help pinpoint the cause (or causes) of
fibromyalgia, and eventually to find a cure for
fibromyalgia.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with regard to obscenity

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. GARY MILLER of California (for himself, Mr. PITTS, Mr. HUTCHINSON,
Mr. SCHAFFER, Mr. PICKERING, Mr. DELAY, Mr. ADERHOLT, Mr.
GOODE, Mr. WATTS of Oklahoma, Mr. DEMINT, and Mr. ENGLISH) sub-
mitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with
regard to obscenity and sexual objectification in the
United States.
Whereas the health and safety and morals of the children of
the United States is a matter of compelling and sur-
passing importance;
Whereas the health and safety and morals of the children of
the United States is threatened by purveyors and pan-
derers of pornography, violence, and philosophies which
treat the individual as a commodity to be bought and
sold;
Whereas the use of the human image as a vehicle to enhance
depraved fantasies has a real effect on changing the atti-
•HRES 239 IH
tudes, values, mores, and ethics of consumers of such
material; and
Whereas basic civil rights require that persons and their im-
ages not be used, sold, bartered, coerced, or defrauded
into illegal sexual activity: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) although the first amendment to the United
States Constitution, as interpreted and construed by
the Supreme Court, makes clear that only narrow
limits on speech may be imposed, the people of the
United States should—
(A) review their own conduct;
(B) take all reasonable steps to use the
freedom of speech which has made and main-
tained this Nation in freedom to build up and
not destroy;
(C) advance public morality which is based
on respect for human dignity;
(D) restrain the growth of illegal sexual
speech and activity in all of its forms; and
(E) create an environment in which our
children will learn to do good and oppose evil.
(2) the President, the Congress, and the States
should review their laws, executive orders, and poli-
cies to determine and effectuate what may be done,
•HRES 239 IH
within the boundaries of the first amendment, to end
the use of individuals and their images as sexual ob-
jects or tools which undermine the dignity of all citi-
zens of the United States; and
(3) the President and the Attorney General
should—
(A) vigorously enforce Federal obscenity
laws to demonstrate the resolve of the United
States to uphold the dignity of the individual
from such degrading use; and
(B) aggressively pursue violations of laws
involving the interstate movement of individuals
for illegal sexual purposes, so that by leader-
ship, the United States might induce the many
members of the global community to end pros-
titution in all of its forms, which contributes to
the growth of organized crime, the creation and
use of illegal pornography, the spread of sexu-
ally transmitted diseases, and denial of basic
human rights to its victims.
