Supporting the national motto of the United States.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 13, 2000
Mr. SHOWS (for himself, Mr. COBURN, Mr. MCINTYRE, Mr. LARGENT, Mr.
STENHOLM, Mr. RYUN of Kansas, Mr. ADERHOLT, Mr. DEMINT, Mr.
HOSTETTLER, Mr. TAYLOR of Mississippi, Mr. PITTS, Mr. SOUDER, and
Mr. LIPINSKI) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Supporting the national motto of the United States.
Whereas the national motto of the United States is ‘‘In God
we trust’’;
Whereas the national motto was adopted in 1956 and is codi-
fied in the laws of the United States at section 302 of
title 36, United States Code;
Whereas the national motto reflects the traditional sentiment
that we are a religious people whose institutions pre-
suppose a Supreme Being;
Whereas the sentiment ‘‘In God we trust’’ is deeply inter-
woven into the fabric of our civil polity;
Whereas the content of the motto is as old as the Republic
itself and has always been as integral a part of the first
•HRES 551 IH
amendment as the very words of that charter of religious
liberty;
Whereas the Founding Fathers believed devotedly that there
was a God and that the unalienable rights of man were
rooted in Him, a belief clearly evidenced in their writings,
from the Mayflower Compact to the Constitution itself;
Whereas our national life reflects a religious people who ear-
nestly pray that the Supreme Lawgiver guide them in
every measure which may be worthy of His blessing;
Whereas the national motto serves the secular purpose of ex-
pressing confidence in the future and encouraging the
recognition of what is worthy of appreciation in society;
Whereas the national motto appears on all coins and currency
issued by the United States Government; and
Whereas the words ‘‘In God We Trust’’ appear over the en-
trance to the Chamber of the Senate and are prominently
engraved in the wall above the Speaker’s dais in the
Chamber of the House of Representatives: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) finds repugnant all misinterpretations and
misapplications of the Constitution that disregard
those references to God that are well within the
American tradition and outside constitutional pro-
scription;
(2) finds that acknowledgment of our need for
the superintending care of the Supreme Being does
not intrude upon the freedom of conscience;

school, the performance of the United States was among
the lowest in both science and mathematics;
Whereas the United States is facing a shortage of qualified
professionals in mathematics, science, engineering, and
technology related fields; and
Whereas mentoring and enrichment programs such as Satur-
day Academy at the Oregon Graduate Institute of
Science and Technology, Texas STARBASE at Ellington
Field Air National Guard Base, Regional Math and
Science Center at Grand Valley State University, and
Georgia Youth Science and Technology Center at South-
ern Polytechnic State University emphasize mathematics,
science, engineering, and technology to encourage stu-
dents to pursue studies and careers in these subject
areas: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports
and encourages mentoring and enrichment programs that en-
courage young people to enter mathematics, science, engi-
neering, and technology fields.

resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the

RESOLUTION
Urging the House to support mentoring programs such as
Saturday Academy at the Oregon Graduate Institute of
Science and Technology.
Whereas exceptional opportunities should be provided for stu-
dents in grades 4 through 12 to learn from accomplished
professionals through hands-on, practical, and intellectual
learning experiences;
Whereas workshops, internships, and laboratories are offered
during and after-school hours, weekends, and summers;
Whereas Saturday Academy links universities, private compa-
nies and their resources, staff, laboratories, classrooms,
and equipment with students to provide the opportunity
to use real tools to solve real life problems;
•HRES 552 IH
Whereas opportunities provided by programs such as Satur-
day Academy bridge the gap between the classroom and
the real world;
Whereas students from low-income families and groups
underrepresented in science and engineering are actively
recruited and supported by Saturday Academy;
Whereas nearly 99,000 students since 1983 have received
Saturday Academy instruction in rural, urban, and sub-
urban areas;
Whereas Saturday Academy received the Presidential Award
for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering
Mentoring by the President in 1996;
Whereas the 1995 Third International Mathematics and
Science Study found that in the final year of secondary
school, the performance of the United States was among
the lowest in both science and mathematics;
Whereas, the United States is facing a shortage of qualified
professionals in science, technology, and engineering; and
Whereas Saturday Academy places special emphasis on
science, mathematics, and technology: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports
and encourages programs such as Saturday Academy to
help students enter mathematics, science, and engineering
fields.
