H. RES. 124
Recognizing the importance of children in the United States and supporting
the goals and ideas of American Youth Day.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
APRIL 26, 2001
Mr. CRENSHAW submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Education and the Workforce
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the importance of children in the United States
and supporting the goals and ideas of American Youth Day.
Whereas national evidence indicates that America’s youth are
faced with oppressive issues, such as violence, drugs,
abuse, and even family stress, causing the future of the
youth of the United States, and therefore the future of
the Nation, to be at risk;
Whereas youth in America, regardless of their economic sta-
tus, ethnic or cultural heritage, or geographic location,
are experiencing the pressures caused by contemporary
society;
Whereas although Americans realize the challenges of today’s
busy lifestyles and balancing work schedules and youth
activities, they remain committed to education, physical
fitness, and civic-mindedness;
•HRES 124 IH
Whereas it is imperative that the people of the United States
act willfully and purposely to secure a positive future for
the Nation by devoting time to youth, sharing traditions,
and communicating values to children in an effort to sus-
tain ongoing relationships with caring adults;
Whereas America’s Promise—The Alliance for Youth, found-
ed by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, is one of the
Nation’s most comprehensive nonprofit organizations
dedicated to building and strengthening the character
and competence of youth by mobilizing the Nation to ful-
fill the organization’s ‘‘Five Promises’’ for young people:
(1) ongoing relationships with caring adults;
(2) safe places with structured activities during non-
school hours;
(3) a healthy start and future;
(4) marketable skills through effective education;
and
(5) opportunities to give back through community
service;
Whereas the citizens of the United States will celebrate
American Youth Day and encourage all youth organiza-
tions to participate annually on a Saturday near the be-
ginning of the school year; and
Whereas American Youth Day will provide opportunities for
America’s youth to reclaim the values which foster trust
and build better communication and which will encourage
parents, grandparents, and extended families to recognize
the importance of being involved in the physical and emo-
tional lives of their children: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
•HRES 124 IH
(1) recognizes the importance of youth to the
future of the United States;
(2) supports the goals and ideas of American
Youth Day; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States
to participate in local and national activities that
seek to fulfill the Five Promises to America’s youth,
as established by America’s Promise—The Alliance
for Youth.

following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and
Means
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the unique effects that proposals to reform
Social Security may have on women.
•HRES 128 IH
Whereas the Social Security benefit structure is of particular
importance to low-earning wives and widows, with 63
percent of women beneficiaries aged 62 or older receiving
wife’s or widow’s benefits;
Whereas three-quarters of unmarried and widowed elderly
women rely on Social Security for over half of their in-
come;
Whereas without Social Security benefits, the elderly poverty
rate among women would have been 52.2 percent and
among widows would have been 60.6 percent;
Whereas women tend to live longer and tend to have lower
lifetime earnings than men do;
Whereas women spend an average of 11.5 years out of their
careers to care for their families, and are more likely to
work part-time than full-time; and
Whereas during these years in the workforce, women earn an
average of 70 cents for every dollar men earn: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recog-
nizes the unique obstacles that women face in ensuring
retirement security and survivor and disability stability
and the essential role that Social Security plays in guaran-
teeing inflation-protected financial stability for women
throughout their entire old age, and it is the sense of the
House of Representatives that the Congress and the Presi-
dent should take these factors into account when consid-
ering proposals to reform the Social Security system.

Doherty, Thomas McElwee, and Michael Devine sac-
rificed their lives to bring world attention to the plight
of Irish Republicans in the H-Block in Long Kesh Prison

Whereas the hunger strikers were protesting the conditions of
the British prison system in which they were being held
•HRES 132 IH
and the loss by Irish Republican prisoners of the right
to political status;
Whereas Irish Republican prisoners were subjected to re-
peated beatings, interrogation, sleep deprivation, and

crime in a jury trial;
Whereas Irish Republican female prisoners being held in
Armagh in Northern Ireland were not allowed to hunger
strike, but were equally committed to the Republican
cause;
Whereas the hunger strikers brought world attention to the
political landscape of the Northern Ireland struggle; and
Whereas in April 1981 before dying, the leader of the hunger
strikers, Bobby Sands, was elected to the United King-
