                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Supporting the goals and ideals of Financial Planning Week, recognizing 
the significant impact of sound financial planning on achieving life's 
   goals, and honoring American families and the financial planning 
profession for their adherence and dedication to the financial planning 
                                process.

Whereas the financial planning process can play a vital role in helping American 
        workers achieve financial independence by empowering them to identify 
        and manage realistic financial objectives and negotiate the financial 
        challenges that arise at every stage of life;
Whereas all Americans can improve their quality of life by securing competent, 
        objective, and comprehensive financial advice to assist them in 
        attaining their financial goals;
Whereas, in the past year, proclamations have been issued in numerous States and 
        the District of Columbia recognizing the importance of the financial 
        planning process in meeting the goal of financial independence and other 
        long-term financial objectives;
Whereas widespread adherence to a financial planning process can help reduce the 
        burdens and obligations of the public and private sectors in providing a 
        financial safety net for less fortunate Americans; and
Whereas the Financial Planning Association has designated the week beginning 
        October 6, 2003, as ``Financial Planning Week'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of ``Financial Planning 
        Week'';
            (2) recognizes the significant impact that sound financial 
        planning can have on securing financial independence and 
        achieving life's goals and dreams;
            (3) acknowledges and commends the millions of American 
        families across the United States, as well as the financial 
        planning profession, for their adherence and dedication to the 
        financial planning process; and
            (4) encourages the American people to observe ``Financial 
        Planning week'' with appropriate programs and activities.

            Passed the House of Representatives November 4, 2003.

            Attest:

                                                 JEFF TRANDAHL,

                                                                 Clerk.
