                               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 the 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;
Whereas individuals, families, and businesses can benefit from professional 
        insurance and financial planning advice, including an assessment of 
        their life insurance needs; and
Whereas numerous groups supporting life insurance have designated September 2009 
        as ``National Life Insurance Awareness Month'' as a means to encourage 
        consumers to become more aware of their life insurance needs, seek 
        professional advice regarding life insurance, and 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 people of 
        the United States to observe the month with appropriate 
        programs and activities.
