Recognizing and supporting Israel’s right to defend itself. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 14, 2010 
Mr. WEINER submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing and supporting Israel’s right to defend itself. 
Whereas, since 1948, both the United States and the inter-
national community have recognized Israel’s right to exist 
and to defend itself; 
Whereas, since 2001, over 10,000 rockets have been fired 
into Israel from Gaza; 
Whereas, since the beginning of 2010, over 100,000 tons of 
aid has been administered to the people living in Gaza by 
Israel; 
Whereas Israel’s blockade is acknowledged by the United 
States as necessary and legal given Hamas’ control of 
Gaza and open desire to destroy Israel; 
Whereas Israel is surrounded on all sides by Syria, Lebanon, 
Iran and other countries either led by or associated with 
known terrorist organizations;

Whereas the Israeli Government warned the Turkish Govern-
ment on May 17, 2010, 14 days before the flotilla inci-
dent, to send the ships to Ashdod and that Israel would 
deliver the humanitarian aid; 
Whereas among the passengers on the Mavi Marmara, were 
five people, Fatima Mahmadi, Ken O’Keefe, Hassan 
Iynasi, Hussein Urosh, and Ahmad Umimon, with known 
links to terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Al- 
Qaeda; 
Whereas among the materials on board the Mavi Marmara 
were 100 metal rods, 200 knives, 150 Turkish-produced 
military self-defense vests, 50 wooden clubs, a telescopic 
sight for a gun, and Turkish propaganda; 
Whereas Free Gaza and the IIH have know terrorist ties as 
reported by the Central Intelligence Agency and the De-
partment of the Treasury; 
Whereas the flotilla’s organizers announced weeks in advance 
that they would resist Israeli forces trying to peacefully 
enforce the Gaza blockade; and 
Whereas the Israeli Defense Forces found caches of weapons 
on the flotilla boats, weapons eventually wielded by indi-
viduals who announced their desire to be martyred and 
shouting ‘‘death to Israel’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, that the House of Representatives— 
(1) stands behind Israel for its general right to 
defend itself and specifically for its actions on May 
31, 2010, stopping a flotilla attempting to break the 
blockade of Gaza; and

(2) affirms that the blame for the death of nine 
members of the flotilla lies only with the Free Gaza 
movement; and that all other attempts to break 
Israel’s blockade of Gaza shall be considered illegal 
and a threat to international peace by the United 
States.

Whereas Congress must pledge to hold the line on spending 
and the growth of Government for the remainder of this 
fiscal year and beyond; 
Whereas Congress needs to demonstrate to the people of the 
United States that it will not return to the failed fiscal 
policies of the past by attempting to solve budgetary 
problems by raising taxes to pay for new programs and 
more spending; 
Whereas a real solution to the Federal budget deficit must 
consist of the curtailment of unnecessary Federal pro-
grams, which are currently costing taxpayers billions of 
dollars; 
Whereas it is time to reduce the Federal budget deficit by 
demonstrating a strong commitment to reforming and 
eliminating inefficient and wasteful Government pro-
grams; 
Whereas to reduce the Federal budget deficit, Congress must 
do a better job of establishing priorities for Federal pro-
grams and spending; and 
Whereas to limit the growth of Government, Congress should 
only enact a new Federal program if Congress considers 
the program to be a higher priority than one or more 
current Federal programs of equal or greater cost: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That rule XXI of the Rules of the House 
of Representatives is amended by adding at the end the 
following new clause: 
‘‘Limitation on bills establishing new programs

provision that eliminates one or more existing programs 
of equal or greater total cost. 
‘‘(b) In this clause, the term ‘provision that estab-
lishes a new program’ includes a provision that modifies 
an existing program by adding a new function. 
‘‘(c) For purposes of this clause, the cost of a pro-
gram shall be the amount authorized to be appropriated 
for the program, or, if the amount authorized to be appro-

gram. 
‘‘(d) This clause does not apply to a provision that 
establishes a new defense, homeland security, or emer-
gency program.’’.

H. Res. 1442 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
September 30 (legislative day, September 29), 2010. 
Whereas United States citizens of every race, class and ethnic 
background from every State and territory have made 
memorable sacrifices as members of the United States 
Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy that 
have revolutionized armed conflict; 
Whereas the United States has produced a legacy of pio-
neering military minds since Congress first appointed 
George Washington in 1775 as general and commander- 
in-chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolu-
tion; 
Whereas since then, citizen soldiers of the United States have 
valiantly overcome monumental odds, exhibited leadership 
in the face of superior forces, and achieved victory on 
battlefields at home and around the world when this Na-
tion or its people have been threatened; 
Whereas 3,468 Medals of Honor—the Nation’s highest deco-
ration—have been awarded to United States veterans for 
Homeric courage and sacrifices above and beyond the call 
of duty in the line of fire defending the Nation; 
Whereas the names of these recipients and other veterans of 
the United States Armed Forces have been recorded in 
the histories of other nations where they served in air, on

land, and at sea defending freedom and protecting lib-
erty; 
Whereas the founding of the United States and its continued 
existence can be documented through the actions, leader-
ship, and protection of its freedoms through the efforts 
of the United States Armed Forces; 
Whereas November 11 was originally declared Armistice Day 
to commemorate the sacrifices of United States soldiers 
in World War I and later designated by President Dwight 
D. Eisenhower in 1954 as a day to honor all United 
States veterans; 
Whereas members of the United States Armed Forces have 
played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural, 
and societal role in protecting the life of the Nation by 
their dedicated service, prowess, and resolve; 
Whereas despite these contributions, the role of veterans and 
the wars in which they served have been consistently un-
dervalued and overlooked in the history of the Nation, 
and their stories diminished in American education; 
Whereas November would be an appropriate month to des-
ignate as United States Military History Month and 
State legislatures and assemblies have been requested to 
issue proclamations designating November as United 
States Military History month and to encourage students 
to study this vital subject and participate in Veterans 
Day activities: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of United States 
Military History Month; and
•HRES 1442 EH 
(2) encourages the President to issue a proclama-
tion to emphasize the importance of United States Mili-
tary History Month.

Whereas graduating seniors serve as peer role models to fel-
low high school students and other community youth by 
succeeding academically and contributing to community 
improvement; 
Whereas numerous graduating seniors will further their intel-
lectual interests and academic studies by enrolling in uni-
versities and postsecondary educational institutions; 
Whereas family members, teachers, school administrators, 
and community members have nurtured the intellectual 
growth and rewarded the academic achievements of grad-
uating seniors; and 
Whereas graduating seniors will become the United States fu-
ture civic, business, and political leaders, maintaining the 
Nation’s global leadership position and strengthening its 
economic competitiveness: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) honors and recognizes the graduating sen-
iors of the class of 2010 for their academic achieve-
ments and contributions to their communities;
