| III 113th CONGRESS 1st Session S. RES. 177 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 19, 2013 Ms. Landrieu (for herself, Mr. Risch , Mr. Levin , Mr. Johnson of Wisconsin , Mr. Cardin , Mr. Rubio , Mrs. Shaheen , Mr. Crapo , Ms. Cantwell , Mr. Vitter , Ms. Heitkamp , Mrs. Fischer , Mr. Pryor , Mr. Enzi , Mr. Udall of New Mexico , Mr. Hoeven , Mrs. Hagan , Mr. Barrasso , Mr. Begich , Mr. Portman , Mr. Casey , Mr. Boozman , Mr. Cowan , Mr. Cochran , Mrs. Murray , Ms. Ayotte , Ms. Hirono , Mr. Brown , Mr. Harkin , Mr. Manchin , Mr. Baucus , Mr. Schatz , Mr. Merkley , Ms. Baldwin , Mr. Warner , Ms. Mikulski , Mr. Bennet , Mr. Roberts , Mr. Nelson , Mr. Coons , Mr. Menendez , Mr. Udall of Colorado , Mr. Donnelly , Mr. Rockefeller , Mr. Carper , Mr. King , Ms. Warren , Mr. Kirk , Mr. Thune , Ms. Klobuchar , Mr. Schumer , Mr. Whitehouse , Mr. Franken , Mr. Heinrich , Mr. Isakson , and Mr. Tester ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Honoring the entrepreneurial spirit of small business concerns in the United States during National Small Business Week, which begins on June 17, 2013.
Whereas 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of National Small Business Week; Whereas the approximately 27,900,000 small business concerns in the United States are the driving force behind the Nation’s economy, creating nearly 2 out of every 3 new jobs and generating close to 50 percent of the Nation’s non-farm gross domestic product; Whereas small businesses are the driving force behind the economic recovery of the United States; Whereas small businesses represent 99.7 percent of employer firms in the United States; Whereas small business concerns are the Nation’s innovators, serving to advance technology and productivity; Whereas small business concerns represent 98 percent of all exporters and produce 31 percent of exported goods; Whereas Congress established the Small Business Administration in 1953 to aid, counsel, assist, and protect the interests of small business concerns in order to preserve free and competitive enterprise, to ensure that a fair proportion of the total Federal Government purchases, contracts, and subcontracts for property and services are placed with small business concerns, to ensure that a fair proportion of the total sales of government property are made to small business concerns, and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of the United States; Whereas, every year since 1963, the President has designated a National Small Business Week to recognize the contributions of small businesses to the economic well-being of the United States; Whereas, in 2013, National Small Business Week will honor the estimated 27,900,000 small businesses in the United States; Whereas the Small Business Administration has helped small business concerns by providing access to critical lending opportunities, protecting small business concerns from excessive Federal regulatory enforcement, helping to ensure full and open competition for government contracts, and improving the economic environment in which small business concerns compete; Whereas, for more than 50 years, the Small Business Administration has helped millions of entrepreneurs achieve the American dream of owning a small business, and has played a key role in fostering economic growth; and Whereas the President has designated the week beginning June 17, 2013, as National Small Business Week : Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate— (1) honors the entrepreneurial spirit of small business concerns in the United States during National Small Business Week, which begins on June 17, 2013; (2) applauds the efforts and achievements of the owners and employees of small business concerns, whose hard work and commitment to excellence have made small business concerns a key part of the economic vitality of the United States; (3) recognizes the work of the Small Business Administration and its resource partners in providing assistance to entrepreneurs and small business concerns; and (4) recognizes the importance of ensuring that— (A) guaranteed loans, including microloans and microloan technical assistance, for start-up and growing small business concerns, and venture capital, are made available to all qualified small business concerns; (B) the management assistance programs delivered by resource partners on behalf of the Small Business Administration, such as Small Business Development Centers, Women’s Business Centers, and the Service Corps of Retired Executives, are recognized for providing invaluable counseling services to entrepreneurs in the United States; (C) the Small Business Administration continues to provide timely and efficient disaster assistance so that small businesses in areas struck by natural or manmade disasters can quickly return to business to keep local economies alive in the aftermath of such disasters; (D) affordable broadband Internet access is available to all people in the United States, particularly people in rural and underserved communities, so that small businesses can use the Internet to make their operations more globally competitive while boosting local economies; (E) regulatory relief is provided to small businesses through the reduction of duplicative or unnecessary regulatory requirements that increase costs for small businesses; and (F) leveling the playing field for contracting opportunities remains a primary focus, so that small businesses, particularly minority-owned small businesses, can compete for and win more of the $400,000,000,000 in contracts that the Federal Government enters into each year for goods and services. |

| III 113th CONGRESS 1st Session S. RES. 188 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 26, 2013 Mr. Johanns (for himself, Mrs. Fischer , and Mr. Kirk ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing June 30, 2013, as the centennial of the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway, which originally spanned 3,389 miles through 13 states, including the great State of Nebraska.
Whereas Carl G. Fisher, creator of the Lincoln Highway, believed this project would stimulate as nothing else could the building of enduring highways everywhere that will not only be a credit to the American people but that will also mean much to American agriculture and American commerce; Whereas, on October 31, 1913, this great highway became the first national memorial to the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln; Whereas the Lincoln Highway brought economic development, tourism, and adventure to every community it touched; Whereas, on June 22, 2013, hundreds of motorists will participate in the Lincoln Highway Centennial Auto Tour, which will start simultaneously from the bustling streets of New York’s Time Square in the East and from San Francisco’s serene Lincoln Park in the West; Whereas a centennial celebration will take place from June 30, 2013, through July 1, 2013, when Lincoln Highway tour motorists will join at the central meeting place of Kearney, Nebraska, which is precisely 1,733 miles from both the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts; Whereas the Lincoln Highway served as a model and an inspiration for President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s grand initiative for a national highway system to connect every person in the United States; and Whereas the Lincoln Highway, more affectionately known as America's Main Street , will continue to be a symbol of Americana and the sense of freedom that comes from driving on the open road: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate— (1) recognizes June 30, 2013, as the centennial of the Lincoln Highway; (2) commemorates the important role that the Lincoln Highway has played in significant historical and cultural events in the United States; and (3) recognizes the economic growth, modernization in infrastructure, and rural development that resulted from the Lincoln Highway. |

Whereas, as of 2013, there are at least 153,000,000
children in the world who have lost at least 1 parent, and of those children,
approximately 17,800,000 have lost both parents;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas more than 400,000,000 children in developing
countries are living in extreme poverty;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas more than 115,000,000 children are engaged in
hazardous work and more than 5,500,000 children are in situations of forced
labor;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas 36 percent of girls and 29 percent of boys around
the world have been sexually abused;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas at least 2,000,000, and probably many more,
children are raised in institutional care;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas millions of children throughout the world live
under conditions of serious deprivation or danger, and children who experience
violence or are exploited, abandoned, abused, or severely neglected also face
significant threats to their survival and well-being, as well as profound risks
that have an impact on their human, social, and economic development;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas children in the most dire circumstances, including
children without protective family care, or who are living in abusive
households, on the streets, or in institutions, trafficked, participating in
armed groups, or exploited for their labor, face a multitude of risks posed by
extreme poverty, disease, disability, conflict, and disaster;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas family reunification, kinship care, and domestic
and intercountry adoption promote permanency and stability to a far greater
degree than long-term institutionalization;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas permanent family care, transitioning children from
institutions into protective family care, and preventing violence within
households and in schools are associated with reduced infant and child
mortality, decreased grade repetition, decreased future criminal activity,
decreased drug use and abuse, fewer teen pregnancies, and higher economic
earning potential;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas past efforts by the United States to assist
vulnerable children in low- and middle-income countries have not always been
coordinated among the Federal agencies responsible for foreign assistance, and
that lack of coordination has sometimes resulted in a fragmented
response;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, with the increasing number of children in need,
limitations on Federal funding, and multiple Federal agencies involved in
efforts to assist children in need, it is more important than ever to improve
the coordination and coherence of those efforts in order to maximize the effect
on children;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the Assistance for Orphans and Other Vulnerable
Children in Developing Countries Act of 2005 (
<external-xref legal-doc="public-law" parsable-cite="pl/109/95">
Public Law 109–95
</external-xref>
; 119 Stat.
2111), which passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 415 to 9 and
passed the Senate by unanimous consent, called for a comprehensive,
coordinated, and effective response on the part of the Government of the United
States to assist the most vulnerable children in the world;

</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the Special Advisor for Assistance for Orphans and

| III 113th CONGRESS 1st Session S. RES. 190 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 27, 2013 Mr. Inhofe (for himself and Ms. Landrieu ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Senate that foreign assistance for child welfare should adhere to the goals of the United States Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity.
Whereas, as of 2013, there are at least 153,000,000 children in the world who have lost at least 1 parent, and of those children, approximately 17,800,000 have lost both parents; Whereas more than 400,000,000 children in developing countries are living in extreme poverty; Whereas more than 115,000,000 children are engaged in hazardous work and more than 5,500,000 children are in situations of forced labor; Whereas 36 percent of girls and 29 percent of boys around the world have been sexually abused; Whereas at least 2,000,000, and probably many more, children are raised in institutional care; Whereas millions of children throughout the world live under conditions of serious deprivation or danger, and children who experience violence or are exploited, abandoned, abused, or severely neglected also face significant threats to their survival and well-being, as well as profound risks that have an impact on their human, social, and economic development; Whereas children in the most dire circumstances, including children without protective family care, or who are living in abusive households, on the streets, or in institutions, trafficked, participating in armed groups, or exploited for their labor, face a multitude of risks posed by extreme poverty, disease, disability, conflict, and disaster; Whereas family reunification, kinship care, and domestic and intercountry adoption promote permanency and stability to a far greater degree than long-term institutionalization; Whereas permanent family care, transitioning children from institutions into protective family care, and preventing violence within households and in schools are associated with reduced infant and child mortality, decreased grade repetition, decreased future criminal activity, decreased drug use and abuse, fewer teen pregnancies, and higher economic earning potential; Whereas past efforts by the United States to assist vulnerable children in low- and middle-income countries have not always been coordinated among the Federal agencies responsible for foreign assistance, and that lack of coordination has sometimes resulted in a fragmented response; Whereas, with the increasing number of children in need, limitations on Federal funding, and multiple Federal agencies involved in efforts to assist children in need, it is more important than ever to improve the coordination and coherence of those efforts in order to maximize the effect on children; Whereas the Assistance for Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children in Developing Countries Act of 2005 ( Public Law 109–95 ; 119 Stat. 2111), which passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 415 to 9 and passed the Senate by unanimous consent, called for a comprehensive, coordinated, and effective response on the part of the Government of the United States to assist the most vulnerable children in the world; Whereas the Special Advisor for Assistance for Orphans and Vulnerable Children appointed under section 135(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 ( 22 U.S.C. 2152f(e) ), in coordination with 7 Federal agencies, released the United States Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity as the first-ever whole-of-government strategic guidance for foreign assistance for children provided by the United States; and Whereas the United States Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity seeks to ensure that all activities of the Government of the United States are coordinated among appropriate Federal agencies and integrated into relevant foreign policy initiatives of the United States, with the goal of promoting permanent family care and integrating evidence-based practices that are in the best interest of children: Now, therefore, be it
That it is the sense of the Senate that— (1) a comprehensive action plan for addressing the needs of children living in adversity should be sanctioned by the highest level of the Government of the United States; (2) Federal funding that currently goes toward projects and research benefitting children in low- and middle-income countries should be coordinated among the Federal agencies that receive it with the goals of— (A) promoting permanent family care for the most vulnerable children in the world; (B) reducing the number of children who experience violence, exploitation, or abuse; and (C) eliminating unnecessary duplication and contradictory approaches within the Government of the United States; and (3) the United States Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity has the potential to realize those goals and create a more effective and efficient response by the Government of the United States to assisting the most vulnerable children in the world. |

| III 113th CONGRESS 1st Session S. RES. 192 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 27, 2013 Mr. Casey (for himself and Mr. Toomey ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and the significance of this battle in the history of the United States.
Whereas, between July 1 and July 3, 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, was the turning point for the Union Army in the American Civil War; Whereas the Battle of Gettysburg was the battle with the largest number of casualties in the American Civil War; Whereas, on November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery; Whereas over 3,500 soldiers were buried at the Soldiers' National Cemetery after losing their lives in the battle; Whereas reconciliation between the North and the South began at Gettysburg through warm and respectful post-war reunions that featured peace walk reenactments of Pickett’s Charge in 1887, 1913, and 1938; Whereas the Gettysburg battlefield was designated as a National Military Park in 1895; Whereas the residents of Gettysburg helped to preserve the land that now serves as the Gettysburg National Military Park, including the Soldiers' National Cemetery and the Gettysburg battlefield; and Whereas more than 1,000,000 people travel each year to visit the park, museum, and visitor center: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate— (1) recognizes the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg; (2) recognizes the historical significance of the outcome of the Battle of Gettysburg, which helped to preserve the United States; and (3) encourages the people of the United States to visit Gettysburg National Military Park to celebrate and commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. |

Whereas, in 1963, Coach George Ireland led the men's
basketball team of Loyola University Chicago (referred to in this preamble as
the
<term>
Ramblers
</term>
) to the Division I National Collegiate Athletic
Association (referred to in this preamble as the
<term>
NCAA
</term>
) men's
basketball championship;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the Ramblers lost only 2 games during the
1962–1963 season and led the Nation in scoring with an average of 91.8 points
per game;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas Coach Ireland and the Loyola University men's
basketball teams of the early 1960s are considered by many to be responsible
for ushering in a new era of racial equality in the sport by shattering major
racial barriers in NCAA men's basketball;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, in 1963, the Ramblers shocked the Nation and
changed college basketball forever by starting 4 African-American players in
the NCAA tournament, as well as the championship game;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas it is difficult to appreciate what Coach Ireland
and his team went through, starting in 1961, in breaking what had been a
longstanding
<term>
gentleman’s agreement
</term>
to play not more than 3
African-American players;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, during the 1962–1963 season, Coach Ireland
started 4 African-American players in every game, and, in December 1962, the
Ramblers became the first team in NCAA Division I history to have an
all-African-American lineup in a game against the University of Wyoming;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, despite their success during the 1962–1963
season, the players and Coach Ireland endured terrible bigotry, including
racial taunts and abuse, and received countless pieces of hate mail from the Ku
Klux Klan and other racist individuals, and all the while Coach Ireland tried
to shield his team in every way possible;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the men's basketball team of Mississippi State
University (referred to in this preamble as the
<term>
Maroons
</term>
and now
called the
<term>
Bulldogs
</term>
) won its second consecutive southeastern
conference championship in 1963, but had been forced by the Governor of
Mississippi not to accept NCAA tournament bids in the 3 previous seasons
because of the inclusion of African-American players in the tournament;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, before advancing to the championship round, the
Ramblers participated in the NCAA Midwest regional semifinal against the
Maroons, a landmark game often referred to half a century later as the
<term>
Game of Change
</term>
;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas Mississippi State University president Dean
Colvard and athletic director and men’s basketball coach James Harrison
<term>
Babe
</term>
McCarthy bravely accepted the Maroons' 1963 NCAA tournament
invitation against the wishes of the Governor of Mississippi;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, determined to play in the regional semifinal, the
Maroons snuck out of Mississippi in the middle of the night to avoid an
injunction, and the integrated Ramblers and the all-white Maroons met on the
basketball court at Michigan State University on March 15, 1963;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, with police surrounding the sports complex in
East Lansing, Michigan, the Ramblers went on to defeat the Maroons in a
competitive game by a score of 61 to 51 in the regional semifinal, a game that
changed race relations on the basketball court forever and was selected by the
NCAA in 2006 as one of the 25 defining moments in the first 100 years of the
organization;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the Ramblers went on to win games against the
University of Illinois and Duke University before defeating the 2-time
defending NCAA champion University of Cincinnati in overtime by a score of 60
to 58, the crowning achievement in Loyola University Chicago's nearly
decade-long struggle with racial inequality in men's college basketball,
highlighted by the tumultuous events of the 1963 NCAA tournament;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the Ramblers' 1963 NCAA title was historic not
only for the racial makeup of the Ramblers, but also because the University of
Cincinnati had started 3 African-American players, making 7 of the 10 starters
in the 1963 NCAA championship game African-American;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the city of Chicago has many storied sports teams,
but the Ramblers basketball team of 1963 and Coach Ireland hold an exalted
place because they are the only NCAA Division I Illinois basketball team to win
a national championship and because they paved the way for the long overdue
integration of races in college basketball before the enactment of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 (

Public Law 88–352

<text>
Whereas all 5 starting players from the national
championship game graduated from Loyola University with a degree, and several
went on to earn advanced degrees in law and business;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the journey of the Ramblers is not just the story
of an underdog team overcoming great odds to beat the favored team from the
University of Cincinnati, a much larger basketball program that held the number
1 ranking and had won the previous 2 national championships;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the real significance of Coach Ireland and the
Ramblers is the lasting impact of their bravery in breaking the racial barrier
in college basketball that had been allowed to prevail for decades; and
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the 2013 Hall of Fame induction season will mark
the 50th anniversary of the 1963 Ramblers' basketball championship, making the

Whereas the city of Chicago has many storied sports teams, but the Ramblers basketball team of 1963 and Coach Ireland hold an exalted place because they are the only NCAA Division I Illinois basketball team to win a national championship and because they paved the way for the long overdue integration of races in college basketball before the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ( Public Law 88–352 ; 78 Stat. 241); Whereas all 5 starting players from the national championship game graduated from Loyola University with a degree, and several went on to earn advanced degrees in law and business; Whereas the journey of the Ramblers is not just the story of an underdog team overcoming great odds to beat the favored team from the University of Cincinnati, a much larger basketball program that held the number 1 ranking and had won the previous 2 national championships; Whereas the real significance of Coach Ireland and the Ramblers is the lasting impact of their bravery in breaking the racial barrier in college basketball that had been allowed to prevail for decades; and Whereas the 2013 Hall of Fame induction season will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1963 Ramblers' basketball championship, making the 1963 Ramblers the first whole team ever to be honored in the Hall of Fame: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate— (1) congratulates Coach George Ireland and the 1963 Loyola University Chicago men's basketball championship team on their induction into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame; (2) honors the 50th anniversary of the historic Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association championship of the Loyola University Chicago men's basketball team and the profound athletic and civil rights achievements of the 1963 team; and (3) honors the 1963 Mississippi State University men's basketball team for their bravery and sportsmanship in rejecting racism and aiding in the civil rights movement in the State of Mississippi and the southeastern United States. |

Government Printing Office (Washington, D.C., 1908), 11:732); Whereas whistleblowers risk their careers, jobs, and reputations by reporting waste, fraud, and abuse to the proper authorities; Whereas, when providing proper authorities with lawful disclosures, whistleblowers save taxpayers in the United States billions of dollars each year and serve the public interest by ensuring that the United States remains an ethical and safe place; and Whereas it is the public policy of the United States to encourage, in accordance with Federal law (including the Constitution, rules, and regulations) and consistent with the protection of classified information (including sources and methods of detection), honest and good faith reporting of misconduct, fraud, misdemeanors, and other crimes to the appropriate authority at the earliest time possible: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate— (1) designates July 30, 2013, as National Whistleblower Appreciation Day ; and (2) ensures that the Federal Government implements the intent of the Founding Fathers, as reflected in the legislation enacted on July 30, 1778, by encouraging each executive agency to recognize National Whistleblower Appreciation Day by— (A) informing employees, contractors working on behalf of United States taxpayers, and members of the public about the legal rights of citizens of the United States to blow the whistle; and (B) acknowledging the contributions of whistleblowers to combating waste, fraud, abuse, and violations of laws and regulations in the United States. |

Whereas other groups have also been formed to promote lighthouse preservation and history, many with regional chapters, including— (1) a national leadership council and forum named the American Lighthouse Council (formerly the American Lighthouse Coordinating Committee), currently headquartered in Illinois; (2) the American Lighthouse Foundation in Maine; (3) the Michigan Lighthouse Alliance and Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy; (4) the Maine Lights Program; (5) the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society in North Carolina; (6) the New Jersey Lighthouse Society; (7) the Florida Lighthouse Association; and (8) the Lighthouse Preservation Society in Massachusetts; Whereas major lighthouse publications, including the United States Lighthouse Society’s Keeper’s Log and the Lighthouse Digest, contribute greatly to the promotion of lighthouse heritage and preservation; Whereas single-lighthouse preservation efforts by individuals or organizations, including historical societies and governments, have even longer histories, including preservation efforts in— (1) Grosse Point, Illinois, established in 1935; (2) Buffalo, New York, established in 1962; (3) Navesink Twin Lights, New Jersey, established in 1962; (4) Point Fermin, California, established in 1970; (5) Charlotte-Genesse near Rochester, New York, established in 1965; (6) Key West, Florida, established in 1969; (7) Split Rock Lighthouse, Minnesota, established in 1971; (8) Ponce de Leon Inlet, Florida, established in 1972; (9) St. Augustine, Florida, established in 1981; and (10) Fire Island, New York, established in 1982; Whereas, despite progress, many lighthouses in the United States remain threatened by erosion, neglect, vandalism, and deterioration by the elements; Whereas Congress passed, and President Ronald Reagan signed, a Joint Resolution entitled Joint Resolution designating the day of August 7, 1989, as National Lighthouse Day , approved November 5, 1988 ( Public Law 100–622 ; 102 Stat. 3201), in honor of the bicentennial of the United States Lighthouse Service; and Whereas the many completed, ongoing, or planned private and public efforts to preserve lighthouses demonstrate the public support for those historic structures: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate— (1) designates August 7, 2013, as National Lighthouse and Lighthouse Preservation Day ; (2) encourages lighthouse grounds to be made open to the general public to the extent feasible; and (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe National Lighthouse and Lighthouse Preservation Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. |

Whereas the members of the airborne forces of the Armed
Forces of the United States have a long and honorable history as bold and
fierce warriors who, for the national security of the United States and the
defense of freedom and peace, project the ground combat power of the United
States by air transport to the far reaches of the battle area and to the far
corners of the world;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the experiment of the United States with airborne
operations began on June 25, 1940, when the Army Parachute Test Platoon was
first authorized by the Department of War, and 48 volunteers began training in
July 1940;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas August 16 marks the anniversary of the first
official Army parachute jump, which took place on August 16, 1940, to test the
innovative concept of inserting United States ground combat forces behind a
battle line by means of a parachute;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the success of the Army Parachute Test Platoon in
the days immediately before the entry of the United States into World War II
validated the airborne operational concept and led to the creation of a
formidable force of airborne formations that included the 11th, 13th, 17th,
82nd, and 101st Airborne Divisions;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, included in those divisions, and among other
separate formations, were many airborne combat, combat support, and combat
service support units that served with distinction and achieved repeated
success in armed hostilities during World War II, and provide the lineage and
legacy of many airborne units throughout the Armed Forces;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the achievements of the airborne units during
World War II prompted the evolution of those units into a diversified force of
parachute and air-assault units that, over the years, have fought in Korea,
Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf region, and Somalia, and have
engaged in peacekeeping operations in Lebanon, the Sinai Peninsula, the
Dominican Republic, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo;
</text>

<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, since the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001, the members of the United States airborne forces, including members of
the XVIII Airborne Corps, the 82nd Airborne Division, the 101st Airborne
Division, the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, the 4th Brigade Combat Team
(Airborne) of the 25th Infantry Division, the 75th Ranger Regiment, special
operations forces of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force, and other
units of the Armed Forces, have demonstrated bravery and honor in combat,
stability, and training operations in Afghanistan and Iraq;

Whereas the modern-day airborne forces also include other
elite forces composed of airborne trained and qualified special operations
warriors, including Army Special Forces, Marine Corps Reconnaissance units,
Navy SEALs, and Air Force combat control and pararescue teams;

<whereas>
<text>
Whereas, of the members and former members of the United
States airborne forces, thousands have achieved the distinction of making
combat jumps, dozens have earned the Medal of Honor, and hundreds have earned
the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, or other decorations and
awards for displays of heroism, gallantry, intrepidity, and valor;

Whereas the members and former members of the United
States airborne forces are all members of a proud and honorable tradition that,
together with the special skills and achievements of those members,
distinguishes the members as intrepid combat parachutists, air assault forces,
special operation forces, and, in the past, glider troops;

have served gallantly in the airborne forces, and each State is proud of the
contributions of its paratrooper veterans during the many conflicts faced by
the United States;

celebrate August 16 as the anniversary of the first official jump by the Army

RES. 209 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 31, 2013 Ms. Baldwin (for herself, Mr. Johnson of Wisconsin , Mr. Coons , Mr. Cornyn , and Mrs. Gillibrand ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Remembering the anniversary of the tragic shooting on August 5, 2012, at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
Whereas, on Sunday, August 5, 2012, a shooting took place at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, Wisconsin; Whereas 6 innocent people of the United States, including one woman and 5 men, lost their lives on that day in a senseless and violent act of hate at a house of worship; Whereas 3 people sustained serious injuries, including Lieutenant Brian Murphy, the first responding officer; Whereas many members of the Sikh community and the community as a whole selflessly sought to aid and protect others by putting their own safety at risk; Whereas the heroic action of law enforcement officers such as Officer Sam Lenda prevented additional loss of life; and Whereas the Sikh community has responded to the shooting in a peaceful manner consistent with the Sikh religious tenets of peace and equality: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate— (1) remembers the anniversary of the tragic shooting on August 5, 2012, at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, Wisconsin; (2) condemns in the strongest possible terms that horrific shooting; (3) condemns hatred and acts of violence towards racial and religious groups and calls for renewed efforts to end that violence; (4) honors the memory of Suveg Singh Khattra, Satwant Singh Kaleka, Ranjit Singh, Sita Singh, Paramjit Kaur, and Prakash Singh, who died in the shooting; (5) offers heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones of those who died in the shooting; (6) commends the heroism of first responders, and members of the community who courageously and selflessly placed their lives in danger to prevent the death of more innocent people; and (7) stands with those who plan to gather in Oak Creek on August 2 through August 5, 2013, to memorialize the lives lost in the shooting and to continue healing as a community. |

Whereas the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) has repudiated the incident by stating that it reflects, in a dramatic manner, the absence of a political dialogue that can bring tranquility to the citizens and to the members of the different public powers to resolve in a peaceful climate and with everybody's participation the pending matters of the country ; Whereas the Congress of the Republic of Peru passed a resolution rejecting the use of violence against opposition parties in the Venezuelan National Assembly and expressing solidarity with those injured by the events of April 2013; and Whereas, as a member of the Organization of American States and signatory to the Inter-American Democratic Charter, the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela has agreed to abide by the principles of constitutional, representative democracy, which include free and fair elections and adherence to its own constitution: Now, therefore, be it Whereas the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela guarantees its citizens full political rights, including the right to freely associate for democratic political purposes, and the right to a secret ballot through regular free, universal, direct elections and referenda; Whereas the Preamble of the Charter of the Organization of American States affirms that “representative democracy is an indispensable condition for the stability, peace and development of the region,” and Article 1 of the Inter-American Democratic Charter recognizes that “the people of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it”; Whereas the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela declared Nicolas Maduro to have been elected in Venezuela’s April 14, 2013, presidential election, with 50.6 percent of votes cast; Whereas the Senate of the Republic of Chile, the Christian Democratic Organization of the Americas, the Socialist International, the Union of Latin American parties, and other political organizations in the region issued declarations recognizing the alleged irregularities documented by the opposition in Venezuela and urged a complete audit of the election results; Whereas the Supreme Court of Venezuela refused to hear legal cases presented by the political opposition regarding alleged violations of electoral law, and the CNE denied the opposition’s request for a full and comprehensive audit of the election results that includes the review and comparison of voter registry log books, vote tallies produced by electronic voting machines, and the paper receipts printed by electronic voting machines; Whereas Venezuela’s Unified Democratic Platform (MUD) has formally requested the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to conduct an impartial review of alleged violations of Venezuelans’ civic rights through electoral irregularities, voter intimidation, and other abuses in the April 2013 elections, and the Government of Venezuela subsequently announced its withdrawal from the Inter-American Court on Human Rights; Whereas, in response to the political opposition’s decision not to recognize Nicolas Maduro as President, legislators from opposition parties in Venezuela were denied the right to speak and removed from key committees by the President of the National Assembly, were violently assaulted by members of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), and increasingly face the prospect of politically-motivated criminal charges; Whereas the Congress of the Republic of Peru passed a resolution rejecting the use of violence against opposition parties in the Venezuelan National Assembly and expressing solidarity with those injured by the events of April 2013, and the Department of State responded to the violence against opposition legislators in Venezuela by declaring that “violence has no place in a representative and democratic system, and is particularly inappropriate in the National Assembly”; Whereas the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) repudiated the incident by stating that it “reflects, in a dramatic manner, the absence of a political dialogue that can bring tranquility to the citizens and to the members of the different public powers to resolve in a peaceful climate and with everybody’s participation the pending matters of the country”; and Whereas, as a member of the Organization of American States and signatory to the Inter-American Democratic Charter, the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela has agreed to abide by the principles of constitutional, representative democracy, which include free and fair elections and adherence to its own constitution: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate— (1) supports the people of Venezuela in their pursuit of the free exercise of representative democracy in Venezuela; (2) calls for greater dialogue between all political actors in Venezuela and strongly deplores the undemocratic denial of legitimate parliamentary rights to members of opposition parties in the National Assembly and the inexcusable violence perpetrated against opposition legislators inside the legislative chambers of Venezuela; (3) commends legislators from other nations in the Americas who have declared their opposition to political irregularities and the use of violence against opposition parliamentarians in Venezuela; (4) urges the Organization of American States to issue a detailed report on any and all irregularities resulting from the April 14, 2013, presidential election in Venezuela; (5) urges the United States Ambassador to the Organization of American States to work in concert with other member states to use the full power of the organization in support of meaningful steps to ensure full parliamentary democracy and the rule of law in Venezuela in accordance with the Inter-American Democratic Charter, including invoking articles related to unconstitutional interruptions of the democratic order in a member state; and (6) urges the United States Ambassador to the Organization of American States to work in concert with other member states to strengthen the ability of the Organization to protect democratic institutions and to respond to the erosion of democracy in member states. (1) supports the people of Venezuela in their pursuit of the free exercise of representative democracy as guaranteed by the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela; (2) deplores the undemocratic denial of the legitimate rights of opposition parliamentarians in Venezuela, the inexcusable violence perpetrated against opposition legislators inside chambers of the National Assembly, and the growing efforts to use politically-motivated criminal charges to intimidate the country’s political opposition; (3) commends legislators from other countries in the Americas who have declared their opposition to alleged electoral irregularities and condemned the use of violence against opposition parliamentarians in Venezuela; (4) urges the Department of State to work in concert with other countries in the Americas to take meaningful steps to ensure the rule of law in Venezuela in accordance with the Inter-American Democratic Charter and to strengthen the ability of the Organization of American States to respond to the erosion of democratic norms and institutions in member states; and (5) calls for the United States to work with other countries in the hemisphere to actively encourage a process of dialogue between the Government of Venezuela and the political opposition through the good offices of the Organization of American States so that the voices of all Venezuelans can be taken into account through their country’s constitutional institutions and free and fair elections.
Amend the title so as to read: A resolution expressing support for the free and peaceful exercise of representative democracy in Venezuela, condemning violence and intimidation against the country’s political opposition, and calling for dialogue between all political actors in the country. .

Whereas, in the fall of 1943, the Nazis occupied Denmark and issued orders that the Danes deport all Danish Jews to concentration camps where the Jews would eventually be exterminated; Whereas the Danish people, as a result of the Nazi mandate, refused to accept the prosecution of the Jews and began a mission of mercy on October 1, 1943, smuggling Jews across the Oresund Strait to neutral Sweden via small boats and fishing cutters; Whereas the Danish rescuers unselfishly risked their own lives, avoiding German patrols for weeks during the rescue operations; Whereas approximately 90 percent of the Danish Jews were saved from certain death at the hands of the Nazis by the sheer courage and compassion demonstrated by the Danes; and Whereas it is imperative that future generations continue to remember and understand what happened so that the horrors of the Holocaust will never be repeated: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate— (1) recognizes and commemorates the bravery and valor of those Danes who participated in the 1943 rescue operations that saved the lives of 7,300 Jews who would otherwise have perished in Nazi concentration camps; and (2) declares that the world owes a great debt to these Danes who did not turn a blind eye on the dangers that faced Jews under Nazi occupation and continue to serve as inspiration to others in times of difficulties and challenges. |
