                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that there should be established a 
                   National Safety in Numbers Month.

Whereas first responders around the Nation recognize the importance of easily 
        readable and highly visible address numbers in eliminating extra time 
        spent finding an emergency destination;
Whereas each year needless loss of lives and property occurs because of 
        emergency personnel being slowed down as a result of poorly marked 
        address numbers;
Whereas address numbers should be plainly visible from road traffic lanes in 
        either direction of approach;
Whereas in an emergency a well marked address may be the difference between 
        life-saving emergency response and tragedy; and
Whereas the establishment of a National Safety in Numbers Month for the month of 
        April would help to educate the people of the United States on the 
        importance of ensuring that their street address is clearly marked: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that there should be established a 
National Safety in Numbers Month.
