                               RESOLUTION


 
Supporting the goals and ideals of ``National Life Insurance Awareness 
                                Month''.

Whereas life insurance is an essential part of a sound financial plan;
Whereas life insurance provides financial security for families by helping 
        surviving members meet immediate and long-term financial obligations and 
        objectives in the event of a premature death in their family;
Whereas approximately 68,000,000 United States citizens lack the adequate level 
        of life insurance coverage needed to ensure a secure financial future 
        for their loved ones;
Whereas life insurance products protect against the uncertainties of life by 
        enabling individuals and families to manage the financial risks of 
        premature death, disability, and long-term care; and
Whereas numerous groups supporting life insurance have designated September 2008 
        as ``National Life Insurance Awareness Month'' to encourage consumers to 
        take the actions necessary to achieve financial security for their loved 
        ones: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of ``National Life 
        Insurance Awareness Month''; and
            (2) calls on the Federal Government, States, localities, 
        schools, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and the citizens 
        of the United States to observe the month with appropriate 
        programs and activities.
                                 <all>
