Resolution to establish a Select Committee on Population.

(Reported to House from the Committee on Rules with amendment, H. Rept. 95-516)

Establishes a Select Committee on Population composed of 16 Members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker, one of whom he shall designate as chairman.

Directs the Select Committee to conduct a full and complete investigation and study of: (1) the causes of changing population conditions and their consequences for the United States and the world; (2) National, regional, and global population characteristics relative to the demands on limited resources and the ability of nations to feed, clothe, house, educate, employ, and govern their citizens and otherwise afford them an improved standard of living; (3) various approaches to population planning (including the study of family planning technology, with emphasis on measures designed to reduce the frequency of conception rather than the termination of pregnancy, and the relationship of improved economic and social opportunities to family size) in order to ascertain those policies and programs, within the United States as well as other nations, which would be most effective in coping with unplanned population change; and (4) the means by which the U.S. Government can most effectively cooperate with and assist nations and international agencies in addressing successfully, in a noncoercive manner, various national, regional, and global population-related issues.

Authorizes the Select Committee, or any subcommittee thereof, to hold hearings, sit and act during the present Congress at such times and places within the United States, including any commonwealth or possession thereof, or elsewhere, whether the House is in session, has recessed, or has adjourned, and to hold such hearings as it deems necessary.
