                               RESOLUTION


 
            Expressing support for AM radios in automobiles.

Whereas 1 in 5 adults in the United States regularly relies on radio stations 
        for their local news, and nearly half of all adults in the United States 
        receive part of their news from radio;
Whereas AM radio stations reach a monthly audience of 82,000,000 Americans;
Whereas the Federal Emergency Management Agency utilizes AM radio to deliver 
        critical safety alerts to the public in areas with less reliable access 
        to cellular service and broadband internet;
Whereas AM radio is often the last line of communications and emergency 
        transmissions in rural and remote areas;
Whereas agricultural broadcasters often constitute a critical link in the value 
        chain between agricultural researchers, producers, and agribusiness;
Whereas AM radio provides real-time sports, news, weather updates, and public 
        broadcasts in a cost-free format to listeners across the country;
Whereas sports, news, weather, and commentary broadcasted over AM radio appeal 
        to a range of listener ages and demographics;
Whereas AM radio listening peaks during weekday commuting times; and
Whereas technology exists to improve AM radio reception in, and avoid 
        electromagnetic interference caused by, electric vehicles: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the continued 
inclusion of AM radios in automobiles.
