                               RESOLUTION


 
     To commemorate the enactment of title IX and to celebrate the 
     contributions women and girls make in education and athletics.

Whereas title IX, a part of the Education Amendments of 1972, was signed into 
        law on June 23, 1972, to end discrimination against women and girls in 
        education and athletics;
Whereas title IX has served as the bedrock of equal opportunity in education and 
        athletics, ensuring millions of women and girls have access to high-
        quality educational opportunities and competitive athletic programs;
Whereas girls' high school sports participation rate is greater than 11 times 
        what it was when title IX passed, an increase of more than 1,000 
        percent;
Whereas, when title IX was enacted, only 1 in 27 girls participated in school 
        sports, today, it is 2 in 5;
Whereas over 1,000,000,000 women have played college sports since title IX's 
        enactment; and
Whereas the ripple effect of title IX has extended far beyond participation 
        numbers, but has also led to increased funding for women's athletics, 
        increased representation of women in coaching and leadership positions, 
        and paved the way for countless women and girls to excel in fields from 
        science and technology, to business, politics, and the arts: Now, 
        therefore, be it enacted
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) commemorates the anniversary of the day title IX was 
        signed into law;
            (2) celebrates the women and girls who committed their 
        lives toward advancing equal opportunity in school and 
        athletics;
            (3) celebrates the contributions of female athletes and the 
        coaches and parents of female athletes; and
            (4) supports protecting the rights of female athletes to 
        compete on a fair and equal playing field.
                                 <all>
