                               RESOLUTION


 
  Recognizing the success of Crime Stoppers International in stopping 
                                crimes.

Whereas Crime Stoppers International began in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1976 
        and has grown to over 1,000 chapters throughout the world;
Whereas since its beginning Crime Stoppers tips have resulted in the solving of 
        over 655,000 cases, the recovery of $3,800,000,000 in narcotics and 
        stolen property, and rewards totaling over $45,000,000;
Whereas Crime Stoppers provides a forum for leadership and training, fosters 
        cooperation, and encourages information exchange between local Crime 
        Stoppers programs worldwide;
Whereas Crime Stoppers success can be attributed to media reports on crime and 
        requests for information, to the public providing tips to the police, 
        and to police follow up of such leads; and
Whereas Crime Stoppers has declared January, 1999, as Crime Stoppers Month 
        around the world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the success 
of Crime Stoppers International and encourages community-based efforts 
to solve crimes around the world.
