Whereas Sister Leonella dedicated her life to the service of 
the weakest, most defenseless, and neediest, regardless of 
ethnic or religious identity; 
Whereas Sister Leonella was keenly aware of the danger her 
ministry in Somalia presented, yet never allowed the dan-
ger to deter or discourage her; 
Whereas Sister Leonella provided healthcare to the sick and 
suffering people of Kenya and Somalia for 38 years, and 
was murdered by vicious gunmen in an execution-style 
killing on September 17, 2006, at the age of 65, in 
Mogadishu, Somalia; 
Whereas Sister Leonella’s murderers, driven by hate and vio-
lence, demonstrated the evil and cruelty of religious fa-
naticism by killing a woman who had cast off worldly 
goods and possessions and journeyed, unarmed and 
unafraid, to bring charity to the world; 
Whereas even in her last moment of life, Sister Leonella dem-
onstrated compassion and forgiveness, whispering the 
words ‘‘I forgive, I forgive’’ to those responsible for her 
death; 
Whereas Sister Leonella lived her life according to the mis-
sion of the Consolata Missionary Sisters: to witness 
Jesus, the Son and Missionary of the Father, by pro-
claiming the Good News of his redemptive life and serv-
ing everyone in need: Now, therefore, be it: 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns violent acts of religious extre-
mism; and

Whereas one member of the U.S.S. Pueblo crew, Duane 
Hodges, was killed in the assault while the other 82 crew 
members were held in captivity, often under inhumane 
conditions, for 11 months; 
Whereas the U.S.S. Pueblo, an intelligence collection auxil-
iary vessel, was operating in international waters at the 
time of the capture, and therefore did not violate North 
Korean territorial waters;

Whereas congenital heart defects are structural problems

Whereas almost one million Americans die of cardiovascular 
disease each year, resulting in up to 42 percent of all 
deaths in the United States; 
Whereas the presence of a serious congenital heart defect 
often results in an enormous emotional and financial 
strain on young families who are already in a vulnerable 
stage of their lives; 
Whereas severe congenital heart disease requires that families 
dedicate extensive financial resources for assistance and 
care both within and outside of a hospital environment; 
Whereas congenital heart defects exceed more than $2.2 mil-
lion a year for inpatient surgery alone; and 
Whereas February 14, 2006, would be an appropriate day to 
recognize A Day for Hearts: Congenital Heart Defect 
Awareness Day: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the goals and ideals of A Day of Hearts: Congenital Heart 
Defect Awareness Day to—
(1) increase awareness about congenital heart de-

(2) encourage research with respect to the disease;
