RES. 602 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 25, 2008 Mr. Nelson of Nebraska (for himself, Mr. Chambliss, Mr. Whitehouse, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Smith) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs 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

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.
