Honoring the service and sacrifice of the United States Armed Forces military
working dog teams for the part they have played in the Nation’s military
history.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 22, 2001
Mr. HAYES submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Armed Services
RESOLUTION
Honoring the service and sacrifice of the United States
Armed Forces military working dog teams for the part
they have played in the Nation’s military history.
Whereas beginning in World War I, the United States Armed
Forces have actively recruited, trained, equipped, and de-
ployed tens of thousands of military working dogs teams
to ensure the safety of United States military and civilian
personnel operating under the exigencies of war and
peacekeeping operations;
Whereas since World War I, tens of thousands of American
families have donated dogs to the Armed Forces in an ef-
fort to help protect and save American lives during times
of war and peacekeeping missions on foreign soil;
•HRES 145 IH
Whereas the tasks that military working dog teams have been
trained to perform include scout, water scout, sentry,
tracker, messenger, tunnel detector, mine, booby trap and
bomb detector, search and rescue, and drug detector;
Whereas during the Vietnam War, bounties were offered for
the termination of military working dogs and their han-
dlers because of their effectiveness at detecting enemy in-
filtrations into United States airfields and base camps,
alerting on snipers and ambushes, sniffing out hidden
enemy base camps, locating enemy underground tunnel
complexes, and finding hidden caches of enemy weapons,
food, and medical supplies;
Whereas thousands of military dog handlers and their dogs
have been killed or wounded in action;
Whereas dogs have abilities that the most advanced tech-
nology cannot match, rendering them invaluable to per-
sonnel serving in the Armed Forces;
Whereas dogs have not only helped win battles and save lives,
but also have had an enormous beneficial effect upon the
mental well-being of those humans with whom they
served, sometimes in the severest of battle conditions;
Whereas tens of thousands of additional United States
servicemembers would have been killed or wounded in ac-
tion had it not been for the courageous efforts and sac-
rifices of military working dog teams; and
Whereas the Armed Forces continue to train, equip, and de-
ploy thousands of military working dog teams in support
of United States peacekeeping missions around the world:
Now, therefore, be it:
Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors
the service and sacrifice of the tens of thousands of United
•HRES 145 IH
States Armed Forces working dog teams that served dur-
ing World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the
Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and Bosnia peace-
keeping operations.

nondiscrimination, prison care, health coverage, the men-
tal health block grants;
Whereas overlapping legal and administrative authorities with
respect to the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness
make reform of the current system very complex;
Whereas it is necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis of the
effectiveness of mental health block grants and of the
Federal prison costs attributed to mental illness; and
Whereas it is also necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis
of issues relating to reciprocity between the States: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that there should be established a ‘‘Mental
Health Advisory Committee’’ that would be responsible for
probing the serious national dimensions of the mentally
ill, including determining the extent to which individuals
with mental illness are not receiving proper treatment and
the extent to which violence is resulting from the lack of
such treatment and prepare a report to the Committees
of jurisdiction outlining options for more effective diag-
nosis and treatment.

RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with
respect to the seriousness of the national problems asso-
ciated with mental illness and with respect to congres-
sional intent to establish a ‘‘Mental Health Advisory
Committee’’.
Whereas mental illness is not a character flaw, but a tangible
and treatable illness as real as epilepsy, hypertension,
cancer or heart disease;
Whereas great strides are being made in the diagnosis and
treatment of mental illness;
Whereas there remain gaping holes in the network of Fed-
eral, State and local services designed to identify and
treat people with mental illness;
•HRES 14 IH
Whereas millions of Americans suffer from the debilitating
effects of serious mental illnesses;
Whereas, more and more, America is witnessing violence re-
sulting from untreated mental illness and a failed policy
of deinstitutionalization without any proper community
follow-up;
Whereas, all too often, we hear of situations where an indi-
vidual with a mental disorder has not received adequate
treatment and has reacted violently and endangered him-
self or herself, or, tragically, taken the life of another;
Whereas such a situation occurred at the Capitol last year
when officer Jacob J. Chestnut and Special Agent John
Gibson tragically lost their lives;
Whereas last year alone, over 1,000 homicides were directly
attributable to improperly treated mental illnesses;
Whereas far too many lives are being lost because our coun-
try and our communities are not providing early diag-
nosis, adequate protection, or treatment to individuals
with mental illnesses;
Whereas although the treatment of the mentally ill is pri-
marily a function of the separate States, there is a sig-
nificant sharing of costs between the Federal Government
and the States for such treatment, and there are some
joint responsibilities of the Federal Government and the
States for such treatment;
Whereas Federal issues involving the mentally ill fall under
the jurisdiction of several committee jurisdictions, includ-
ing Education and the Workforce, Ways and Means, Ju-
diciary, Commerce, Veterans’ Affairs, Appropriations and
Banking through such issues as Medicaid/SSI, housing,
