BY

A
Resolution
to
preserve
Social
Security.
1
WHEREAS,
the
Social
Security
program
is
an
extremely
2
successful
social
program
that
permits
senior
citizens
3
in
America
to
retire
with
dignity
and
security
after
a
4
lifetime
of
hard
work;
and
5
WHEREAS,
many
senior
citizens
would
fall
into
6
poverty
without
Social
Security;
and
7
WHEREAS,
the
security
of
private
pension
plans
is
8
the
subject
of
increased
uncertainty;
and
9
WHEREAS,
job
losses
have
rendered
many
Americans
10
ineligible
for
an
employer-based
pension;
and
11
WHEREAS,
with
the
decline
of
“defined
benefit”
12
pensions,
401(k)
plans,
known
in
the
industry
as
13
“defined
contribution”
plans,
are
the
most
common
type
14
of
pension,
providing
a
varying
and
uncertain
source
15
of
retirement
income;
and
16
WHEREAS,
Social
Security
is
essential
to
provide
a
17
stable
income
supplement;
and
18
WHEREAS,
Social
Security
provides
needed
disability
19
and
survivors
benefits;
and
20
WHEREAS,
Social
Security
creates
a
national
sense
of
21
community;
NOW
THEREFORE,
22
BE
IT
RESOLVED
BY
THE
HOUSE
OF
REPRESENTATIVES,
23
That
the
House
of
Representatives
affirms
the
need
to
24
strengthen
Social
Security’s
long-term
finances
for
the
25
future
to
ensure
that
it
remains
a
reliable,
guaranteed
26
benefit
for
retirement,
disability
insurance,
and
27
survivors
income.
