CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Supporting the goals and ideals of Financial Planning Week, recognizing
the significant impact of sound financial planning on achieving life's
goals, and honoring American families and the financial planning
profession for their adherence and dedication to the financial planning
process.

Whereas the financial planning process can play a vital role in helping American
workers achieve financial independence by empowering them to identify
and manage realistic financial objectives and negotiate the financial
challenges that arise at every stage of life;
Whereas all Americans can improve their quality of life by securing competent,
objective, and comprehensive financial advice to assist them in
attaining their financial goals;
Whereas, in the past year, proclamations have been issued in numerous States and
the District of Columbia recognizing the importance of the financial
planning process in meeting the goal of financial independence and other
long-term financial objectives;
Whereas widespread adherence to a financial planning process can help reduce the
burdens and obligations of the public and private sectors in providing a
financial safety net for less fortunate Americans; and
Whereas the Financial Planning Association has designated the week beginning
October 6, 2003, as ``Financial Planning Week'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That Congress--
(1) supports the goals and ideals of ``Financial Planning
Week'';
(2) recognizes the significant impact that sound financial
planning can have on securing financial independence and
achieving life's goals and dreams;
(3) acknowledges and commends the millions of American
families across the United States, as well as the financial
planning profession, for their adherence and dedication to the
financial planning process; and
(4) encourages the American people to observe ``Financial
Planning week'' with appropriate programs and activities.

Passed the House of Representatives November 4, 2003.
