RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the 100th anniversary of the founding of the

Whereas the California League of Food Processors was 
founded January 12, 1905, in San Francisco, California, 
as the Canners League of California to represent canners 
of California fruits and vegetables; 
Whereas in 1981 the Canners League of California changed

reflect the diversity of the California food processing in-
dustry, which includes canners, freezers, dryers, and 
dehydrators;
•HRES 45 IH 
Whereas the purpose of the California League of Food Proc-
essors is to foster a favorable environment for the growth 
and strength of the industry and, in so doing, California 
food processors strive to provide consumers with safe and 
wholesome foods produced in an environmentally sound 
and responsible manner; 
Whereas the California League of Food Processors has a dis-
tinguished history of providing consumers in California, 
the United States, and the world with processed fruits 
and vegetables of the highest quality; 
Whereas the California League of Food Processors has been 
honored to supply processed fruits and vegetables to the 
men and women serving in the Armed Forces of the 
United States; 
Whereas the California League of Food Processors has been 
at the forefront of technological innovations that have fa-
cilitated important advances in fruit and vegetable vari-
eties, harvesting automation, processing mechanization, 
food packaging, and distribution systems; 
Whereas the California League of Food Processors has been 
an advocate for the California fruit and vegetable proc-
essing industry on international trade and other matters 
for the last 100 years; and 
Whereas efforts and achievements of the California League of 
Food Processors are deserving of our attention and rec-
ognition: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the 100th anniversary of the 
founding of the California League of Food Proc-
essors and acknowledges the efforts of the California

Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno, at the age of just 23, now has 
five career Olympic medals in short track speedskating,

Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno’s gold medal in the 500 meters, 
bronze medal in the 1,000 meters, and bronze medal in 
the 5,000 meters relay gave him three medals at the 
2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin, Italy, making him 
just the fourth Unites States athlete to win that many

Whereas the United States Olympic Team needed every one 
of Apolo Anton Ohno’s medals to edge out the Canadian 
Olympic Team and claim second place in the medal 
standings at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games; and 
Whereas Apolo Anton Ohno, just 19 years old at the time, 
also captured the gold medal in the 1,500 meters and the

Whereas American farmers were forced to pay record prices 
for production inputs, such as fertilizer, natural gas and 
diesel fuels; 
Whereas predetermined market prices prevent American 
farmers from passing unexpected input costs on to con-
sumers; 
Whereas many American farmers are struggling financially

resentatives that— 
(1) Congress should promptly enact agricultural 
disaster assistance legislation to assist American 
farmers who were adversely affected by natural dis-
asters and unforeseen production costs during the 
2005 crop year; and 
(2) this legislation should give farmers a choice 
of a supplemental direct payment under section 
1103 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment 
Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 7913) or disaster payments 
based on yield loss.
