RESOLUTION 
Encouraging the people of the United States to honor the 
service of military retirees who continue to serve the 
United States long after such retirees have completed 
military service. 
Whereas there are 2,100,000 retirees of the Armed Forces of 
the United States who have earned their retirement 
through career service or service-connected disability; 
Whereas military retirees are dedicated, focused, well-trained, 
well-disciplined, and well-educated and bring the best 
qualities of United States citizenship to lifelong service 
within the United States and their local communities as 
stable, responsible, citizens, and neighbors;

Whereas those qualities often result in contributions to the ci-
vilian workforce as experienced and dedicated employees, 
to local educational institutions as teachers, counselors, 
and coaches, to local government as elected public serv-
ants, and to communities as effective volunteer leaders; 
Whereas such dedication and focus brings balance and sta-
bility to local communities; and 
Whereas those contributions are the manifestation of the de-
sire of military retirees to continue lifelong service to the 
United States: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives encour-
ages the people of the United States to honor the past 
and continued service of military retirees to their commu-
nities and the United States long after such retirees have 
completed military service by supporting the goals and 
ideals of a ‘‘Military Retiree Appreciation Day’’.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) On September 21, 1998, the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service announced an agreement
with the Metropolitan Airports Commission of the
State of Minnesota, which is the public agency that
operates the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Air-
port. The agreement would allow construction of a
new runway for that airport that would have severe
impacts on the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife
Refuge.
(2) The agreement purported to mitigate im-
pacts of a major runway expansion that would allow
jumbo jets to fly as low a 500 feet from the surface
of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
(3) The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife
Refuge, in serving as an urban-oriented refuge, is a
sanctuary in the midst of the urban and industrial
sprawl of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. Any
agreement to allow scores of jumbo jets each day to
fly any closer to the one place of sanctuary in that
region violates the very concept of providing places
of refuge for wildlife.
(4) A disparity exists in the treatment of activi-
ties affecting various National Wildlife Refuges. Al-
though low-altitude overflights would be allowed over
the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, ac-
tivities that would have significantly fewer impacts
have been prohibited on or near other National
Wildlife Refuges located in rural areas. Even emer-
gency medical services necessary to save human lives
have not been allowed access to some National Wild-
life Refuges.
SEC. 3. MINNESOTA VALLEY NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE
PROTECTION.
(a) MORATORIUM ON IMPLEMENTATION OF AGREE-
MENT.—The Secretary of the Interior and the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service shall not implement any
agreement that would allow for an expansion of the Min-
neapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
(b) REPORT.—Not later than 60 days after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior
shall report to the Congress regarding whether the activi-
ties associated with expansion of the Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport or additional overflights of Min-
nesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge by air traffic using
that airport may constitute a taking of an endangered spe-
cies or threatened species prohibited by the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
