July 25, 2007. 
Whereas it is a tradition of the House of Representatives to 
honor and pay tribute to those places and institutions 
within the United States whose historic significance has 
contributed to the culture and traditions of our citizens; 
Whereas, in accordance with this tradition, the House of Rep-
resentatives is proud to commemorate the 200th anniver-
sary of the Archdiocese of New York and its history of 
faith and service; 
Whereas the Archdiocese of New York has planned a year-

their bicentennial; 
Whereas the Archdiocese of New York is also coordinating 
with Catholic Charities of New York to institute an Arch-
diocese of New York Day of Service, to celebrate its his-
tory of serving the broader community; 
Whereas, on April 8, 1808, Diocese of New York was estab-
lished with the Most Reverend R. Luke Concanen as its 
first Bishop, and was elevated to an Archdiocese in 1850; 
Whereas, on March 15, 1875, His Eminence John Cardinal

ders are appropriate; 
(B) the acquisition plan facts necessary to

(C) the acquisition workforce resources

In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 1, 2007.
Whereas May 5, or Cinco de Mayo in Spanish, is celebrated 
each year as a date of great importance by the Mexican 
and Mexican-American communities; 
Whereas the Cinco de Mayo holiday commemorates May 5, 
1862, the date on which the Battle of Puebla was fought 
by Mexicans who were struggling for their independence 
and freedom; 
Whereas Cinco de Mayo has become one of Mexico’s most fa-
mous national holidays and is celebrated annually by 
nearly all Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, north and 
south of the United States-Mexico border; 
Whereas the Battle of Puebla was but one of the many bat-
tles that the courageous Mexican people won in their long 
and brave struggle for independence and freedom; 
Whereas the French, confident that their battle-seasoned 
troops were far superior to the almost amateurish Mexi-
can forces, expected little or no opposition from the Mexi-
can army; 
Whereas the French army, which had not experienced defeat 
against any of Europe’s finest troops in over half a cen-
tury, sustained a disastrous loss at the hands of an out-

ative to the number of individuals in the acquisition 
workforce as of the date of enactment. 
‘‘(4) Recommendations for additional authori-

submitted to the Committee on Oversight and Government 
Reform of the House of Representatives; the Committee 
on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the 
Senate; and the Committees on Appropriations of the 
House of Representatives and the Senate. 
‘‘(j) No expired balances appropriated prior to the 
date of the enactment of the Clean Contracting Act of 
2008 may be used to make any payment to the Acquisition 
Workforce Development Fund.’’. 
(c) EXCEPTION.—This section and the amendments 
made by this section shall not apply to the acquisition 
workforce of the Department of Defense.
