Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the impor-

and supporting the goals and ideals of National Donate 
Life Month. 
Whereas more than 87,000 individuals await organ trans-
plants at any given moment; 
Whereas another man, woman, or child is added to the na-
tional organ transplant waiting list every 20 minutes; 
Whereas an average of over 70 people receive a transplant 
every day for a total of more than 25,000 each year; 
Whereas despite the progress in recent decades, more than 16 
people per day die because of a shortage of donor organs;
•HCON 124 IH 
Whereas up to 30,000 people each year are diagnosed with 
leukemia or other blood diseases and approximately 
20,000 will not find a marrow donor match within their 
family and must rely upon strangers; 
Whereas nearly 32,000 units of blood are used in the United 
States every day and blood supply reserves are often low 
since only 5 percent of the population donates blood reg-
ularly; 
Whereas one donor can save or enhance as many as 50 lives; 
Whereas almost everyone is a potential organ, tissue, bone 
marrow, or blood donor; 
Whereas transplantation has become an element of main-
stream medicine that prolongs and enhances life; 
Whereas President George W. Bush designated April 2003 as 
the first National Donate Life Month, a time to raise 
public awareness of the critical need for organ, tissue, 
marrow, and blood donation; and 
Whereas April 2005 would be an appropriate month to ob-
serve a National Donate Life Month: Now, therefore, be

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Whereas the people of the United States have a sincere ap-
preciation and respect for the military personnel who 
serve in the Armed Forces of the United States; 
Whereas veterans possess special qualities and skills that 
make them ideal candidates for employment, but many 
veterans encounter difficulties in securing employment;
•HCON 125 EH 
Whereas it would be inconsistent, inconsiderate, and contrary 
to the economic competitiveness of the United States to 
neglect the post-military needs of the military personnel 
who have served in the Armed Forces of the United 
States; 
Whereas many of the brave men and women who have served 
the United States so gallantly and selflessly in the war 
on terrorism and the war in Iraq since September 11, 
2001, are beginning to return home to be reunited with 
their loved ones and will be re-entering the workforce or 
searching for their first jobs outside of military service; 
and 
Whereas the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Depart-
ment of Labor, the Office of Personnel Management, and 
many State and local governments administer veterans 
programs and have veterans employment representatives 
both to ensure that veterans receive the services to which 
they are entitled and to promote employer interest in hir-
ing veterans: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress—
(1) recognizes the importance of the men and 
women who have served or who currently serve in 
the Armed Forces of the United States; 
(2) supports the designation of an appropriate 
week as ‘‘Hire a Veteran Week’’; and

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that federally funded
school lunches should provide optional meatless meals.
Whereas conscientious objection has long been recognized as
a valid reason for exemption from induction into the
Armed Forces of the United States;
Whereas an increasing number of school youths are conscien-

clude rejection of meat diets; and
Whereas federally funded school lunch programs seldom pro-

sources of necessary amino acids: Now, therefore, be it
