  1  1 A Resolution urging the United States Congress to

  1 11    WHEREAS, the Act created regulations that, for
  1 12 all practical purposes, banned the use of standard
  1 13 incandescent light bulbs by establishing increased
  1 14 minimum energy efficiency standards for general
  1 15 lamps; and
  1 16    WHEREAS, the overregulation of industry can result
  1 17 in limitations on consumer choice and freedom; NOW

  1 20 the House of Representatives urges Congress to revise
