local management, locally originated programming, 
local artists, and local news and events—would bol-

(4) Local communities have sought to launch 
radio stations to meet their local needs. However, due 
in part to the scarce amount of spectrum available 
and the high cost of buying and running a large sta-
tion, many local communities are unable to establish 
a radio station. 
(5) In 2003, the average cost to acquire a com-
mercial radio station was more than $2,500,000. 
(6) In January 2000, the Federal Communica-
tions Commission authorized a new, affordable com-
munity radio service called ‘‘low-power FM’’, or 
‘‘LPFM’’, to ‘‘enhance locally focused community-ori-
ented radio broadcasting’’. 
(7) Through the creation of LPFM, the Federal 
Communications Commission sought to ‘‘create op-
portunities for new voices on the airwaves and to 
allow local groups, including schools, churches, and 
other community-based organizations, to provide pro-
gramming responsive to local community needs and 
interests’’.

promise the integrity of the FM radio band by stat-
ing, ‘‘We are committed to creating a low-power FM 
radio service only if it does not cause unacceptable 
interference to existing radio service.’’. 
(9) Currently, FM translator stations can oper-
ate on the second- and third-adjacent channels to full- 
power radio stations, up to an effective radiated 
power of 250 watts, pursuant to part 74 of title 47, 
Code of Federal Regulations, using the very same 
transmitters that LPFM stations will use. The Fed-
eral Communications Commission based its LPFM 
rules on the actual performance of these translators, 
which already operate without undue interference to 
FM stations. 
(10) Small rural broadcasters were particularly 
concerned about a lengthy and costly LPFM inter-
ference complaint process. Therefore, in September 
2000, the Federal Communications Commission cre-
ated a process to address interference complaints re-
garding LPFM stations on an expedited basis. 
(11) In December 2000, Congress delayed the full 
implementation of LPFM until the Federal Commu-
nications Commission commissioned and reviewed an 
independent engineering study. This action was due

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MARCH 27, 2007 
Mrs. DRAKE (for herself, Mr. HAYES, and Mr. MCINTYRE) submitted the 
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services 
RESOLUTION 
Honoring the 53,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and 
civilians that comprise the Nation’s special operations 
forces community. 
Whereas the failure to organize, train, equip, and plan special 
operations forces (SOF) missions in a joint environment 
ultimately led to the aborted military operation Eagle 
Claw, more commonly referred to as Desert One, where 
eight servicemembers lost their lives attempting to rescue 
American hostages held in Tehran; 
Whereas this failure led to Congressional passage of the 
Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganiza-
tion Act of 1986, which established the principle legal au-
thority for the United States military to operate jointly;

Whereas April 16, 2007, marks the 20th year anniversary of 
the establishment of United States Special Operations 
Command at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida; 
Whereas United States Special Operations Command is com-
prised of— 
(1) United States Army Special Operations Com-

(2) Naval Special Warfare Command at Naval Am-
phibious Base, Coronado, California; 
(3) Air Force Special Operations Command at 
Hurlburt Field, Florida; 
(4) Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Com-
mand at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; and 
(5) Joint Special Operations Command at Ft. 
Bragg, North Carolina; 
Whereas the most visible and recognized SOF mission is di-
rect action, but SOF missions also extend across the vast 
operational spectrum to include unconventional warfare, 
foreign internal defense, civil affairs, psychological oper-
ations, information operations, special reconnaissance, 
counter-proliferation, and counterterrorism; 
Whereas the President, in the 2004 Unified Command Plan, 
expanded the role of United States Special Operations 
Command to serve as the ‘‘lead combatant commander 
for planning, synchronizing, and as directed, executing 
global operations against terrorist networks in coordina-
tion with other combatant commanders’’; 
Whereas special operations forces are ideally suited to meet 
the asymmetric threat posed by violent Islamists who 
promote intolerance, stifle freedom, and destroy peace;

Whereas the 2005 Quadrennial Defense Review recognized

in the War on Terror and called for an increase of 15 
percent in SOF beginning in fiscal year 2007; and
