Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
•HRES 1605 EH 
during Operation Desert Storm and over 40 days faster 
than during the Vietnam conflict; 
Whereas yielding a survival rate of 98 percent for wounded 
service members by adopting a new strategy of rapid 
evacuation from the battlefield, critical care air transport 
teams provide care that has resulted in the lowest mor-
tality rate of any war in United States history; 
Whereas aeromedical evacuation is a Total Force effort which 
includes Active Duty, Reserve, and Air National Guard 
members; 
Whereas there are 18 Air Force Reserve squadrons, 10 Na-
tional Guard squadrons, and 4 Active Duty squadrons; 
Whereas the aeromedical evacuation system is comprised of 
aeromedical evacuation crews, aeromedical staging facili-
ties, aeromedical liaison teams, support and communica-
tions personnel, and command and control teams; 
Whereas the Air Force has up to 500 aeromedical evacuation, 
aeromedical staging, aeromedical liaison, support, com-
munications, and command and control personnel de-
ployed to Afghanistan, to Iraq, in Europe, and in the 
United States, as part of the team providing care and 
helping ensure that wounded soldiers, sailors, airmen, 
and Marines get safely home to their families; 
Whereas a normal aeromedical evacuation crew is composed 
of 2 flight nurses and 3 technicians; 
Whereas a normal critical care air transport team, composed 
of a critical care physician, critical care nurse, and a res-
piratory technician, augments an aeromedical evacuation 
crew when ICU level patients are transported; and
•HRES 1605 EH 
Whereas Air Mobility Command plays a crucial role in pro-
viding humanitarian support at home and around the 
world: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the service of the medical and air 
crews in helping our wounded warriors make the expedi-
tious and safe trip home to the United States; and 
(2) commends the personnel of the Air Force for 
their commitment to the well-being of all our service men 
and women.

Disapproving Judge Walker’s Proposition 8 Decision on Same-Sex Marriage.

which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Disapproving Judge Walker’s Proposition 8 Decision on 
Same-Sex Marriage. 
Whereas 45 States protect traditional marriage as the union 
of one man and one woman; 
Whereas every State whose voters have considered the issue 
prohibits same-sex marriage; 
Whereas 3 States have redefined traditional marriage only 
because the redefinition has been ordered by a court; 
Whereas, since 2004, over half the States have codified in 
their State Constitutions the legal definition of marriage 
as the union of one man and one woman;

•HRES 1607 IH 
Whereas attempts by judges to rewrite the Constitution in 
order to amend the definition of traditional marriage to 
fit their personal views constitutes improper judicial ac-
tivism; 
Whereas, on August 4, 2010, Chief United States District 
Judge Vaughn R. Walker, in Hollingsworth v. Perry, 
ruled that California’s Proposition 8, enacted by popular 
referendum in 2008, is unconstitutional, thereby rede-
fining traditional marriage such that it is no longer a 
union between one man and one woman; 
Whereas Judge Walker failed to conduct himself in an impar-
tial manner during the course of the proceedings that re-
sulted in such ruling; 
Whereas Judge Walker attempted to illegally broadcast the 
trial in disregard of the harassment such broadcast would 
invite on witnesses supporting Proposition 8; 
Whereas such attempt was ultimately denied by an extraor-
dinary stay order by the United States Supreme Court 
issued on January 13, 2010, in which the Supreme Court 
held Judge Walker ‘‘did not follow the appropriate proce-
dures set forth in federal law’’; 
Whereas the United State Supreme Court further held that 
‘‘The District Court attempted to change its rules at the 
eleventh hour to treat this case differently than other 
trials in the district’’ and that Judge Walker ‘‘ignore[d] 
the federal statute that establishes the procedures by 
which its rules may be amended’’; 
Whereas Judge Walker refused to decide the case as a matter 
of law, as other courts have done; 
Whereas Judge Walker’s decision instead to address irrele-
vant factual issues resulted in his ruling to authorize in-

Recognizing the 20th anniversary of the enactment of the Jeanne Clery 
Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
AUGUST 10, 2010 
Mr. SESTAK (for himself, Mr. DUNCAN, Mrs. MCCARTHY of New York, and 
Mr. PERRIELLO) submitted the following resolution; which was referred 
to the Committee on Education and Labor 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the 20th anniversary of the enactment of the 
Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and 
Campus Crime Statistics Act. 
Whereas, on November 8, 1990, President George H.W. 
Bush signed into law the Crime Awareness and Campus 
Security Act of 1990, also known as the Jeanne Clery 
Act, as Title II of Public Law 101–542; 
Whereas passage of the Jeanne Clery Act came about as a 
result of the tireless work of Connie and Howard Clery 
whose 19-year-old daughter Jeanne had been raped and 
murdered on April 5, 1986, in her university residence 
hall room by a fellow student she didn’t know;

trusive discovery of the internal communications of sup-
porters of Proposition 8; 
Whereas, on January 4, 2010, such ruling was overturned, in 
part, by an extraordinary writ of mandamus issued by a 
panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the 
Ninth Circuit; 
Whereas the Ninth Circuit panel held that Judge Walker’s 
ruling 
failed 
to 
protect 
the 
First 
Amendment 
associational rights of Proposition 8 supporters and that, 
as a result, ‘‘the exceptional circumstances presented by 
this case warrant issuance of a writ of mandamus’’; 
Whereas Judge Walker’s decision illegitimately inquired into 
the personal and religious motivations of the more than 
7 million Californians, including large majorities of Afri-
can-Americans, who voted for Proposition 8; 
Whereas, in America, we respect and uphold the right of a 
free people to make policy choices through the democratic 
process; 
Whereas more than 7 million Californians decided that mar-
riage should be preserved, not fundamentally changed; 
Whereas California voters simply affirmed the definition of 
marriage that predates our Nation and every other na-
tion and form of government; 
Whereas, if a handful of activists are allowed to void a con-
stitutional amendment protecting marriage, we have 
eliminated the core of the American democratic system 
and will deny more children the mom and the dad they 
deserve; 
Whereas the most important issue in the Perry case is wheth-
er our Government is of, by, and for the people; and

Whereas a handful of activists have put on trial the right of 
California voters to simply affirm a common-sense, his-
toric public policy position: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) Chief United States District Judge Vaughn 
R. Walker failed to conduct himself in an impartial 
manner before striking down California’s popularly 
enacted Proposition 8 and thereby redefined tradi-
tional marriage to include same-sex relationships; 
and 
(2) Chief United States District Judge Vaughn 
R. Walker’s decision to strike down California’s pop-
ularly enacted Proposition 8 is wrong.
