CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Life Insurance Awareness
Month, and for other purposes.
Whereas life insurance is an essential part of a sound financial plan;
Whereas life insurance provides financial security for families in the event of
a premature death by helping surviving family members to meet immediate
and longer-term financial obligations and objectives;
Whereas nearly 50,000,000 Americans say they lack the life insurance coverage
needed to ensure a secure financial future for their loved ones;
Whereas recent studies have found that when a premature death occurs,
insufficient life insurance coverage on the part of the insured results
in three-fourths of surviving family members having to take measures
such as working additional jobs or longer hours, borrowing money,
withdrawing money from savings and investment accounts, and, in too many
cases, moving to smaller, less expensive housing;
Whereas individuals, families, and businesses can benefit greatly from
professional insurance and financial planning advice, including the
assessment of their life insurance needs; and
Whereas the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE), the
National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), and a
coalition representing hundreds of leading life insurance companies and
organizations have designated September 2005 as ``Life Insurance
Awareness Month'', the goal of which is to make consumers more aware of
their life insurance needs, seek professional advice, and take the
actions necessary to achieve the financial security of their loved ones:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That the Congress--
(1) supports the goals and ideals of Life Insurance
Awareness Month; and
(2) calls on the Federal Government, States, localities,
schools, nonprofit organizations, businesses, other entities,
and the people of the United States to observe the month with
appropriate programs and activities.
Passed the House of Representatives July 25, 2005.
Attest:
JEFF TRANDAHL,
Clerk.
