                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress 
 should complete action on H.R. 3762, the Pension Security Act of 2002.

Whereas recent events have highlighted the need to provide American workers with 
        stronger pension protections and greater access to professional 
        investment advice;
Whereas a bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3762, 
        the Pension Security Act of 2002, on April 11, 2002, by a vote of 255 to 
        163;
Whereas the Pension Security Act of 2002 would provide working Americans with 
        more investment education and information regarding their retirement 
        plans, greater access to professional investment advice, rights to 
        diversified pension plan assets, protections against corporate abuses 
        and mismanagement of pensions, and other reforms that would increase 
        pension coverage;
Whereas the pension protections and reforms contained in the Pension Security 
        Act of 2002 would enhance the retirement security of American workers; 
        and
Whereas the Senate has not passed the Pension Security Act of 2002 or equivalent 
        legislation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Congress should complete action in the 107th Congress on the 
Pension Security Act of 2002 and present such legislation to the 
President for his signature prior to adjournment so that needed pension 
protections and reforms may be delivered to the American people.
