Expressing the sense of Congress that donations solicited by charitable 
  organizations for the victims of the terrorist attacks against the 
   United States that occurred on September 11, 2001, should be used 
              exclusively for the benefit of such victims.

Whereas approximately $1,100,000,000 has been donated to more than 200 
        charitable organizations since the terrorist attacks against the United 
        States that occurred on September 11, 2001;
Whereas only 10 percent of the money donated since September 11, 2001, has 
        reached the victims of the terrorist attacks;
Whereas the September 11th Fund, created by the United Way and the New York 
        Community Trust, collected $275,000,000 for the victims of the terrorist 
        attacks;
Whereas the Liberty Fund, created by the American Red Cross, collected 
        $505,000,000 for the victims of the terrorist attacks;
Whereas the Salvation Army collected more than $60,000,000 for the victims of 
        the terrorist attacks;
Whereas the Robin Hood Relief Fund, created by the Robin Hood Foundation, 
        collected $47,500,000 for the victims of the terrorist attacks; and
Whereas Helping.org, created by AOL-Time Warner, collected $10,300,000 for the 
        victims of the terrorist attacks: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that donations solicited by charitable 
organizations for the victims of the terrorist attacks against the 
United States that occurred on September 11, 2001, should be used 
exclusively for the benefit of such victims.
