H. CON. RES. 434
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the economic collapse of
WorldCom Inc.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 27, 2002
Mr. SHOWS submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Financial Services
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the economic
collapse of WorldCom Inc.
Whereas executives at WorldCom Inc. hid $3,850,000,000 in
expenses by improperly transferring certain costs to cap-
ital accounts in order to falsely portray WorldCom Inc.
as a profitable business in 2001 and the first quarter of
2002;
Whereas the economic collapse of WorldCom Inc. will cause
the layoff of thousands of WorldCom employees;
Whereas WorldCom is the second largest long distance pro-
vider in the United States, with stock that was valued at
$64 per share in June 1999;
Whereas the collapse of WorldCom and the resulting decline
in its stock price, valued at $0.21 per share on June 26,
•HCON 434 IH
2002, has hurt thousands of investors throughout the
United States who were misled by WorldCom’s inaccurate
financial disclosures;
Whereas Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index lowered
WorldCom’s long-term corporate credit rating to junk
status on May 10, 2002, and dropped WorldCom from its
index on May 14, 2002;
Whereas the combined downfall of Enron, WorldCom, tele-
communications firm Global Crossing, and other major
corporations has seriously affected consumer confidence
in the telecommunications industry and in the integrity
of corporate transactions and reporting;
Whereas the United States Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion has already filed civil fraud charges against
WorldCom; and
Whereas the Congress has a responsibility to protect inves-
tors, workers, and innocent victims, including children
and families, from fraudulent investment practices, and
to ensure the independence of financial analysts and
auditors: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) a timely and thorough investigation should
be undertaken into the alleged wrongdoings related
to the economic collapse of WorldCom Inc.; and
(2) any person, including any auditor, financial
analyst, WorldCom executive, accounting company,
or other company or partnership, who is found to
have illegally withheld information or disseminated
•HCON 434 IH
misleading information regarding WorldCom’s finan-
cial condition should be held accountable to the full-
est extent of the law.
