,mr4 ,israel submitted the following    
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,oversight and ,government
 ,reform  ,,resolution  ,expressing the 
sense of the ,house of ,representatives 
that localities should observe          
,halloween on the last ,saturday of     
,october and communicate to the public  
that trick-or-treating and other public 
observances of the holiday will take    
place on that day4  ,whereas ,halloween 
is not a federally established holiday  
and the observance of the holiday is    
usually set on the local level2 ,whereas
 when ,halloween falls on a weekday     
children will likely trick-or-treat     
after the sun has set2 ,whereas         
according to a study from the ,u4,s4    
,department of ,transportation1 between 
#bjjf and #bjaj more people under the   
age of #ba were killed in car accidents 
on ,october #ca than on ,october #cj or 

,november #a2 ,whereas according to a   
#bjaa survey commissioned by ,safe ,kids
 ,worldwide1 only #cg percent of parents
 send their children out                
trick-or-treating with a flashlight1 and
 only #ah percent affix reflective tape 
to their children's costumes1 both of   
which would make them more visible to   
motorists2 ,whereas observing ,halloween
 on the weekend would allow children to 
trick-or-treat during the daytime2 and  
,whereas the last ,saturday of ,october 
would be the optimal time to observe    
,halloween3 ,now1 therefore1 be it      
,that it is the sense of the ,house of  
,representatives that localities        
should--  7#a7 observe ,halloween on the
 weekend2 and  7#b7 communicate to the  
public that trick-or-treating and other 
public observances of the holiday will  
take place on that day4
