H. Res. 845 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
March 4, 2008. 
Whereas Everglades National Park celebrated its 60th anni-
versary on December 6, 2007; 
Whereas when President Harry S. Truman dedicated Ever-
glades National Park on December 6, 1947, he stated: 
‘‘Here is land, tranquil in its quiet beauty, serving not as 
the source of water, but as the last receiver of it. To its 
natural abundance we owe the spectacular plant and ani-
mal life that distinguishes this place from all others in 
our country’’; 
Whereas Marjory Stoneman Douglas gave the Everglades the 
name ‘‘River of Grass’’ stating, ‘‘There are no other Ev-
erglades in the world’’; 
Whereas Everglades National Park has been designated an 
International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, 
and a Wetland of International Importance, in recogni-
tion of its significance to all the people of the world; 
Whereas the Everglades ecosystem encompasses 3,000,000 
acres of wetlands and is the largest subtropical wilder-
ness in the United States featuring slow-moving fresh-
water that flows south from Lake Okeechobee through 
sawgrass and tree islands to the mangroves and 
seagrasses of Florida Bay;
•HRES 845 EH 
Whereas Everglades National Park is home to rare and en-
dangered species, such as the American crocodile, the 
Florida panther, and the West Indian manatee, and more 
than 350 species of birds, including the Great Egret, 
Wood Stork, Swallow-tailed Kite, and Roseate Spoonbill; 
Whereas the Central and South Florida region is an inter-
national center for business, agriculture, and tourism, 
with a rapidly growing population of varied ethnic, eco-
nomic, and social values, all of which are dependent on 
a sustainable framework for the water resources of the 
region to restore the Everglades ecosystem, provide ade-
quate freshwater supplies, and promote a healthy and 
sustainable economy and overall quality of life; 
Whereas Everglades National Park is an essential component 
of a larger ecosystem restoration effort, the Comprehen-
sive Everglades Restoration Plan, which has been de-
scribed as the world’s largest ecosystem restoration 
project; and 
Whereas this restoration effort must succeed in order to re-
store the natural Everglades ecosystem and ensure that 
the treasures of Everglades National Park can be passed 
on to our children and grandchildren: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the 60th anniversary of Everglades 
National Park; and
•HRES 845 EH 
(2) dedicates itself to the success of the Comprehen-
sive Everglades Restoration Plan.
