To award a congressional gold medal to Chief Phillip Martin of the Mississippi 
Band of Choctaw Indians. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
APRIL 3, 2003
Mr. PICKERING introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on Financial Services 
A BILL 
To award a congressional gold medal to Chief Phillip Martin 
of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Chief Martin Congres-
sional Gold Medal Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) For more than 45 years, Chief Phillip Mar-
tin has provided extraordinary leadership to the Mis-
sissippi Band of Choctaw Indians, a federally recog-
nized Indian tribe located in the State of Mississippi, 
as the tribe has undertaken a long and courageous 
journey to preserve social and cultural identity while 
developing relative prosperity. 
(2) The vision, guidance, and determination of 
Chief Martin has led to the emergence of a virtual 
economic miracle, the creation and development of a 
new government, and the revitalization of an ancient 
society: a claim few governmental leaders of our 
time are able to make. 
(3) Chief Martin has led efforts designed to cre-
ate a vibrant tribal economy that would first provide 
jobs, then dignity, and over time a higher quality of 
life for the Choctaw people as well as neighboring 
communities. 
(4) Once described as ‘‘the worst poverty pocket 
in the poorest State of the Union’’, the Choctaws 
under Chief Martin’s leadership have evolved from 
subsistence sharecroppers to become proprietors of a 
multi-enterprise, industrial and commercial power-
house. 
(5) With the creation of nearly 9,000 perma-
nent, full-time jobs, the Choctaw tribe is now one of 
the five largest employers in the State of Mississippi.

(b) ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATE.—

717f(e)). 
(2) CONSIDERATIONS.—In considering an appli-
cation under this section, the Commission shall pre-
