Expressing support for the designation of March 13 as ‘‘K–

Whereas ‘‘Chips’’, a German Shepherd-Collie-Siberian Husky 
who valiantly served with the Third Infantry Division 
during World War II, was awarded the Distinguished 
Service Cross, Silver Star, and Purple Heart for taking 
actions that saved lives in his unit; 
Whereas ‘‘Chips’ ’’ awards were revoked due to Army policy; 
Whereas over 10,000 military working dogs were trained at 
War Dog Centers during World War II; 
Whereas Federal, State, and municipal law enforcement 
agencies utilize working dogs to achieve their missions 
and protect our communities; 
Whereas K–9 veterans have saved countless lives at home 
and abroad in service to United States military and law 
enforcement agencies; 
Whereas, today, over 2,300 military working dogs are de-
ployed worldwide in support of the Global War on Ter-

Whereas the United States has increasingly relied on military 
working dogs due to their unique skills and capabilities; 
and 
Whereas retired military working dogs have successfully 
transitioned to roles as pets and therapy dogs: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

evils of relativism, materialism, and consumerism; 
Whereas the election to the papacy of His Holiness Pope 
Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Ar-
gentina, marks a groundbreaking moment in the life of 
the Catholic Church, elevating a marvelous suitor to lead 
the world’s largest apostolic Christian ministry; 
Whereas Pope Francis has inspired a vibrant sense of reform 
and spiritual renewal in the Church, representing the 
first pontiff born in the New World, the first hailing from 
Latin America, and the first prelate ordained in the re-
nowned Society of Jesus or Jesuits; 
Whereas the Pope’s chosen regnal name of Francis, after St. 
Francis of Assisi, as well as his unrivaled reputation as 
a personally devoted minister to the needs of the poor 
and outcast, emphasizes the opportunities and obligations 
of mankind to serve a missionary role in advancing peace, 
social justice, and moral contemplation for the better-
ment of all God’s children; 
Whereas as President of the Argentine Episcopal Conference, 
Pope Francis’ experience as spiritual guide and premiere 
pastoral administrator of one of the Holy See’s largest 
and most active diocese reveals his unique ability to ac-
complish much needed reforms in the Vatican and sus-
tain a growing Church in the world’s developing commu-
nities in Latin America, Africa, and Asia; and 
Whereas Pope Francis’ striking humility and simple 
gentleness empowers him to connect with and renew the 
hearts of the faithful and heal the recent wounds of the 
Church: Now, therefore, be it
