In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 10, 2009. 
Whereas the AmeriCorps national service program, since its 
inception in 1994, has proven to be a highly effective way 
to engage Americans in meeting a wide range of local 
needs, national response directives, and promote the ethic 
of service and volunteering; 
Whereas, each year, AmeriCorps provides opportunities for 
75,000 citizens across the Nation to give back in an in-
tensive way to their communities, States, and to the Na-
tion; 
Whereas those same individuals have improved the lives of 
the Nation’s most vulnerable citizens, protect the environ-
ment, contribute to public safety, respond to disasters, 
and strengthen the educational system; 
Whereas AmeriCorps members, after their terms of service 
end, remain engaged in their communities as volunteers, 
teachers, and nonprofit professionals in disproportion-
ately high levels; 
Whereas AmeriCorps members serve thousands of nonprofit 
organizations, schools, and faith-based and community 
organizations each year; 
Whereas, on April 21, 2009, President Barack Obama signed 
the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, passed by
•HRES 453 EH 
bipartisan majorities in both the House and the Senate, 
which reauthorizes and expands AmeriCorps programs to 
incorporate 250,000 volunteers each year; 
Whereas national service programs have engaged millions of 
Americans in results-driven service in the Nation’s most 
vulnerable communities, providing hope and help to peo-
ple facing economic and social needs; 
Whereas, this year, as the economic downturn puts millions 
of Americans at risk, national service and volunteering 
are more important than ever; and 
Whereas 2009s AmeriCorps Week, observed May 9 through 
May 16, provides the perfect opportunity for AmeriCorps 
members, alums, grantees, program partners, and friends 
to shine a spotlight on the work done by members—and 
to motivate more Americans to serve their communities: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) encourages all citizens to join in a national ef-
fort to salute AmeriCorps members and alumni, and 
raise awareness about the importance of national and 
community service; 
(2) acknowledges the significant accomplishments of 
the AmeriCorps members, alumni, and community part-
ners; 
(3) recognizes the important contributions to the 
lives of our citizens by AmeriCorps members; and

(4) encourages citizens of all ages and backgrounds 
and from each state to consider serving in AmeriCorps.

located 402 missing sex offenders; 
Whereas NCMEC operates a child victim identification pro-
gram to assist law enforcement in identifying victims of 
child pornography; 
Whereas NCMEC develops and disseminates programs and 
information about Internet safety and the prevention of 
child abduction and sexual exploitation;
•HRES 454 EH 
Whereas NCMEC facilitates the deployment of the National 
Emergency Child Locator Center during periods of na-
tional disasters; and 
Whereas NCMEC deploys Team Adam, a rapid response and 
support system comprised of retired law enforcement offi-
cers, to provide on-site technical assistance to local law 
enforcement agencies investigating cases of child abduc-
tion and sexual exploitation: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes 
the 25th anniversary of the National Center for Missing and 
Exploited Children.
