                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Office of 
 Management and Budget should direct all Federal agencies to postpone 
            for one year the implementation of major rules.

Whereas job creation continues to be a top priority for Congress and the 
        American people;
Whereas the economic recovery is, according to the President and other executive 
        branch officials, ``fragile'' and ``uncertain'';
Whereas estimates put the cost of overbearing and onerous Federal regulations at 
        over $1 trillion per year;
Whereas, in a time of record deficits and debt, the Government's responsibility 
        is to alleviate these fiscal pressures on American families, not to 
        exacerbate them; and
Whereas Congress and the Administration need to redouble their efforts to create 
        simple, effective regulation with specific intent: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Office of Management and Budget should direct all Federal agencies 
to postpone for one year the implementation of major rules that 
restrict economic growth, except for those rules that provide for 
emergency services or the defense of the Nation.
