RESOLUTION 
Recognizing Rotary International for 105 years of service 
to the world and commending members on their dedica-
tion to the mission and principles of their organization. 
Whereas the mission of Rotary International is to provide 
service to others, promote integrity, and advance world

of business, professional, and community leaders; 
Whereas Rotary International, founded in 1905, in Chicago, 
Illinois, is the world’s first service club and one of the 
largest nonprofit service organizations; 
Whereas there are more than 1,200,000 Rotary International 
club members comprised of professional, community, and

Whereas the Rotary International motto, ‘‘Service Above 
Self’’, inspires members to provide humanitarian service, 
meet high ethical standards, and promote international 
goodwill and peace; 
Whereas Rotary International promotes international under-
standing through scholarships, exchange programs, hu-
manitarian grants, and service projects; 
Whereas annual dues from members worldwide help finance 
Rotary programs and service opportunities that are de-
signed to help Rotarians meet the needs of their own 
communities and assist people worldwide; 
Whereas the core values of Rotary International are service, 
fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership; and 
Whereas the Four-Way Test of Rotary International pro-
motes universal values and asks the following questions, 
‘‘Of the things we think, say or do: Is it the truth?; Is 
it fair to all concerned?; Will it build goodwill and better 
friendships?; and Will it be beneficial to all concerned?’’: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recog-
nizes Rotary International for 105 years of service to the 
world and commends members on their dedication to the 
mission and principles of their organization.

Whereas President Kennedy called upon the Executive order 
from President Theodore Roosevelt challenging United 
States Marine Officers to finish 50 miles in 20 hours; 
Whereas since the inception of the JFK 50 Mile, all members 
of the United States Armed Forces have been welcome 
and have met this challenge by former Presidents Ken-
nedy and Roosevelt over this historic course marked by 
the history of the Nation over the Appalachian Trail and 
the C & O Canal passing over hallowed ground near 
Crampton’s Gap, Maryland, Weaverton Cliffs, Maryland, 
Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and Antietam Battlefield; 
and 
Whereas the JFK 50 Mile is the Nation’s oldest ultra mara-

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-

(1) the Cumberland Valley Athletic Club and 
the Director of the National Park Service should 
continue to accommodate members of the United

the JFK 50 Mile;

since that time maintained a democratic system of gov-

Whereas India is the largest democratic country in the world 
in which all political views are freely expressed and re-
spected; 
Whereas India is the world’s second most populous country, 
with over one billion citizens residing within its borders; 
Whereas India is one of the largest contributors of troops to 
United Nations-mandated peacekeeping missions; and 
Whereas the people of India have demonstrated a strong com-
mitment to promote the peaceful development of the 
South Asian region and to global peace: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the United Nations should forthwith take 
the procedural actions necessary to amend Article 23 of 
the Charter of the United Nations to establish India as 
a permanent member of the United Nations Security

Women’’: 
‘‘Referring to woman’s sphere in life, I’ll say 
that woman is always right. For twenty-five years 
I’ve been a woman’s rights man. I have always be-

to say much, except that it is a shame—a shame; 
but if I should live twenty-five years longer—and
