+			 established as a national goal the fulfillment of the right to full

+			 interfering with their ability to save and accumulate assets for a secure
+			 family life and retirement. High levels of unemployment and inadequate consumer
+			 demand also contribute to poor conditions for retail businesses, manufacturers
+			 and many other firms to grow and prosper. In the real estate sector, the
+			 Congress finds that continuing high levels of unemployment contribute to
+			 foreclosures, evictions, and commercial vacancies, undermining the quality of
+			 neighborhood and community life, and hampering prospects for economic recovery
+			 and national prosperity.</text>

+			 The human rights the United States has a duty to promote pursuant to this
