there should be established a National Physical Edu-
cation and Sports Week and a National Physical Edu-
cation and Sports Month. 
Whereas many residents of the United States would improve 
the quality of their lives through proper exercise and diet; 
Whereas obesity-related diseases cost the United States econ-
omy more than $100,000,000,000 every year; 
Whereas physical activity reduces risk, at all ages, of heart 
disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes; 
Whereas almost half of individuals aged 12 through 21, and 
more than a third of high school students, do not partici-
pate in vigorous physical activity on a regular basis;

Whereas physical activity is necessary to support normal 
growth in children and is essential to the continuing 
health and well-being of youth and adults; 
Whereas the 60 million school-aged children and youth in the 
United States have the potential to acquire the knowl-
edge, skills, and values that can lead to a lifetime of 
physically active and heathy living; 
Whereas in a 1996 report on physical activity and health, the 
Surgeon General of the United States Public Health 
Service verified that regular physical activity is associated 
with improved health-related quality of life; 
Whereas it would be appropriate to recognize May 1 through 
7, 2006, as National Physical Education and Sports 
Week; and 
Whereas the month of May has traditionally been recognized 
as National Physical Education and Sports Month to en-
courage broader promotion of physical fitness activities 
and programs in schools, parks, recreation departments, 
employee associations, hospitals, and other entities in-
volved in physical fitness: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that there should be established— 
(1) a National Physical Education and Sports 
Week; and 
(2) a National Physical Education and Sports 
Month.

Whereas from February 17 to February 26, 2006, Turin, 
Italy, hosted the 2006 Olympic Winter Games; 
Whereas this is the third time Italy has hosted the Olympic 
Games, with the prior Winter Games having been held in 
1956 in Cortina d’Ampezzo and the Summer Games hav-
ing been held in 1960 in Rome; 
Whereas the people of Turin and the surrounding Alpine 
areas have opened their hearts to the world, dem-
onstrated their passions for sports, art, and culture, and 
strengthened the bonds between the city of Turin and the 
surrounding Alpine areas; 
Whereas the city of Turin accommodated nearly 2,600 ath-
letes, more than 2,700 trainers and escorts, 18,000 vol-
unteers, 9,500 members of the media, and nearly 
1,000,000 spectators at 7 competition sites and 3 Olym-
pic villages; 
Whereas in light of a global terror threat, Italian authorities 
implemented extraordinary security measures and suc-
cessfully coordinated the efforts of 10,000 police officers 
and 2,500 Italian military personnel, providing effective 
and efficient protection, while also ensuring a secure and 
stable environment for both athletes and spectators alike;
•HRES 697 EH 
Whereas through the stewardship of the International Olym-
pic Committee and the Torino Olympic Organizing Com-
mittee, athletes representing 80 different countries com-
peted in 15 disciplines of winter sport with the spirit of 
mutual respect and understanding, furthering the Olym-
pic legacy of ‘‘peace between nations, equality, fair play, 
loyalty and respect’’; 
Whereas well over 200 members of the United States Olym-
pic Team participated in the Games and embodied the 
spirit of this Nation with resolve and determination and 
won 25 medals, including 9 gold medals; 
Whereas 477 athletes from 39 countries competed for 9 days 
in March 2006 in Turin at the 2006 Paralympic Winter 
Games, which were organized in 1948 as a venue for in-
jured World War II veterans to compete, demonstrating 
not an individual’s disability, but rather the individual’s 
achievements in athleticism; and 
Whereas the United States Olympic Team ranked second 
among all nations in the number of medals won at the 
2006 Olympic Winter Games and the United States 
Paralympic Team ranked seventh among all nations in 
the number of medals won at the 2006 Paralympic Win-

H. Res. 438
In the House of Representatives, U.S., 
December 6, 2005.
Whereas the 60th session of the General Assembly of the 
United Nations is currently underway in New York City; 
Whereas the State of Israel is a critical strategic ally of the 
United States in the Middle East and the only true de-
mocracy in the region; 
Whereas 60 years ago the United Nations was founded, in 
part, to prevent another Holocaust from ever happening 
again; 
Whereas three years after its founding, the United Nations 
passed General Assembly Resolution 181, which provided 
for the partition of Mandatory Palestine and the estab-
lishment on its territory of an independent Jewish state, 
which became the State of Israel; 
Whereas in recent years, the General Assembly of the United 
Nations has engaged in a pattern of approving resolu-
tions that unfairly criticize and condemn Israel; 
Whereas during the 59th session of the General Assembly of 
the United Nations, the General Assembly adopted 21 
resolutions criticizing Israel; 
Whereas despite the myriad of challenges facing the world 
community, the General Assembly of the United Nations
•HRES 438 EH 
has devoted a vastly disproportionate amount of time and 
resources to castigating Israel; 
Whereas for the past 30 years, the United Nations has fund-
ed three entities that support anti-Israel propaganda, in-
cluding the Division for Palestinian Rights, the Com-
mittee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the 
Palestinian People, and the Special Committee to Inves-
tigate Israeli Human Rights Practices Affecting the Pal-
estinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Terri-
tories; 
Whereas the double standard against the State of Israel that 
is perpetrated at the United Nations is pervasive: of ten 
emergency special sessions called by the General Assem-
bly of the United Nations, six have been about Israel, 
and since 1997, at the annual meetings of the United 
Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, only 
Israel has had its own agenda item (Item 8) dealing with 
its alleged human rights violations, whereas all other 
countries are dealt with in a separate agenda item (Item 
9); and 
Whereas as a founding member of the United Nations, the 
United States has a special responsibility to promote fair 
and equitable treatment of all member states of the 
United Nations: Now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges mem-
ber states of the United Nations to—
(1) stop supporting resolutions that unfairly casti-
gate Israel; and
•HRES 438 EH 
(2) promote within the United Nations system a 
more balanced and constructive approach to resolving 
conflict in the Middle East.
