RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
all Americans should participate in a moment of silence 
to reflect upon the service and sacrifice of members 
of the United States Armed Forces both at home and 
abroad. 
Whereas it was through the brave and noble efforts of the 
Nation’s forefathers that the United States first gained 
freedom and became a sovereign nation; 
Whereas there are more than 1,300,000 active component 
and more than 1,100,000 reserve component members of 
the Armed Forces serving the Nation in support and de-
fense of the values and freedom that all Americans cher-
ish;
•HRES 698 IH 
Whereas the members of the Armed Forces deserve the ut-
most respect and admiration of their fellow Americans 
for putting their lives in danger for the sake of the free-
doms enjoyed by all Americans; 
Whereas members of the Armed Forces are defending free-
dom and democracy around the globe and are playing a 
vital role in protecting the safety and security of all 
Americans; 
Whereas the nation officially celebrates and honors the ac-
complishments and sacrifices of veterans, patriots, and 
leaders who fought for freedom, but does not yet officially 
pay tribute to those who currently serve in the Armed 
Forces; 
Whereas all Americans should participate in a moment of si-
lence to support the troops; and 
Whereas March 26th, 2006, is designated as ‘‘National Sup-
port the Troops Day’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that all Americans should participate in a mo-
ment of silence to reflect upon the service and sacrifice 
of members of the United States Armed Forces both at 
home and abroad.

In the House of Representatives, U.S., 
June 7, 2006.
Whereas according to the Department of Labor, most of the 
new jobs created throughout the United States in the 
past decade have come from the creative efforts of entre-
preneurs and small businesses, which have been expand-
ing and advancing technology and fueling the recent 
growth in the economy; 
Whereas entrepreneurs have been the source of economic in-
novation throughout the history of the Nation, and the 
entire society has been improved because of the new ways 
of doing things that have been brought about by people 
who market their ideas; 
Whereas economically independent entrepreneurs are engaged 
citizens who work to improve the economic environment 
in their local communities, providing better opportunities 
for businesses to operate and a better environment for 
the human resources they need to advance their business 
dreams; 
Whereas 70 percent of high school students want to become 
entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurial skills will assist stu-
dents in the future regardless of whether they work in a

lution for Advancement of Ovarian Cancer Education’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds that—
(1) ovarian cancer is a serious and under-recognized

United States are diagnosed in the early stages; 
(5) in cases where ovarian cancer is detected before

(6) many people do not know that ovarian cancer 
often presents with persistent symptoms such as abdom-
inal pressure, bloating, discomfort, nausea, indigestion, 
constipation, diarrhea, frequent urination, abnormal 
bleeding, unusual fatigue, unexplained weight loss or 
gain, and shortness of breath; 
(7) many people do not know that certain women 
are at higher risk for developing ovarian cancer if they 
have risk factors, including increasing age, a personal or 
family history of ovarian, breast, or colon cancer, and 
not having had children; 
(8) raising public awareness of ovarian cancer by 
educating doctors and women about the disease will save 
lives; 
(9) ovarian cancer research is needed to develop 
early detection tools, prevention methods, enhanced 
therapies, and a cure;

is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
(1) awareness and early recognition of ovarian can-
cer symptoms are currently the best way to save wom-
