                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Commending the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for their 
efforts to remind parents and care givers to use child safety seats and 
 seat belts when transporting children in vehicles and for sponsoring 
                 National Child Passenger Safety Week.

Whereas great progress has been made in increasing the use of child safety seats 
        in vehicles, which has reduced the number of deaths of children involved 
        in traffic accidents, but much more remains to be done;
Whereas more than half of all children killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2000 
        were completely unrestrained;
Whereas motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 4 
        to 14;
Whereas child safety seats reduce fatal injury by 71 percent for infants and by 
        54 percent for toddlers in passenger cars; and
Whereas the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sponsors National 
        Child Passenger Safety Week, February 10 through 16, 2002, to help 
        remind parents and care givers that all children should be placed in 
        child safety seats every time they ride in a car or truck: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress commends the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration for its efforts to remind parents and care givers to use 
child safety seats and seat belts when transporting children in 
vehicles and for sponsoring National Child Passenger Safety Week, 
February 10 through 16, 2002.
                                 &lt;all&gt;
