Affirms the importance of fathers and supports efforts to promote engaged fatherhood by calling for research, supportive programs, and policy ideas to reduce fatherlessness. It highlights links between absent fathers and social problems (violence, substance abuse, suicide), notes effects of incarceration and welfare disincentives, and suggests policy options such as tax incentives, custody reforms, and a national promotional effort to encourage two‑parent involvement.

The measure is a non‑legislative expression of support and a request for study and policy development rather than a directive that creates new federal programs or spending; it asks for research, program support ideas, and consideration of policy tools to increase father engagement.
