   Supporting the goals and ideals of the National Kidney Foundation 
                              Kidney Walk.

Whereas 20,000,000 Americans suffer from chronic kidney disease;
Whereas over 80,000 people die each year from chronic kidney disease;
Whereas over 335,000 people diagnosed with end-stage renal disease receive 
        dialysis at least three times a week;
Whereas over 17,000 kidney transplants were performed in 2006;
Whereas over 70,000 people are on the national waiting list for a kidney 
        transplant; and
Whereas the purpose of the National Kidney Foundation Kidney Walk is to 
        encourage Americans nationwide to become educated about early detection 
        and prevention of kidney disease and to promote awareness of organ 
        donation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of the National Kidney 
        Foundation Kidney Walk; and
            (2) recognizes all Americans suffering from chronic kidney 
        disease, and salutes health care professionals, volunteers, 
        donor families, and living donors.
                                 <all>
