H. Res. 459
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
June 27, 2002.
Whereas on June 26, 2002, the Ninth Circuit Court of Ap-
peals held that the Pledge of Allegiance is an unconstitu-
tional 
endorsement 
of 
religion, 
stating 
that 
it
‘‘impermissibly takes a position with respect to the purely
religious question of the existence and identity of God,’’
and places children in the ‘‘untenable position of choosing
between participating in an exercise with religious con-
tent or protesting.’’;
Whereas the Pledge of Allegiance is not a prayer or a reli-
gious practice, the recitation of the pledge is not a reli-
gious exercise;
Whereas the Pledge of Allegiance is the verbal expression of
support for the United States of America, and its effect
is to instill support for the United States of America;
Whereas the United States Congress recognizes the right of
those who do not share the beliefs expressed in the
Pledge to refrain from its recitation;
Whereas this ruling is contrary to the vast weight of Supreme
Court authority recognizing that the mere mention of
God in a public setting is not contrary to any reasonable
reading of the First Amendment. The Pledge of Alle-
giance is not a religious service or a prayer, but it is a
•HRES 459 EH
statement of historical beliefs. The Pledge of Allegiance
is a recognition of the fact that many people believe in
God and the value that our culture has traditionally
placed on the role of religion in our founding and our cul-
ture. The Supreme Court has recognized that govern-
mental entities may, consistent with the First Amend-
ment, recognize the religious heritage of America;
Whereas the notion that a belief in God permeated the found-
ing of our Nation was well recognized by Justice Bren-
nan, who wrote in School District of Abington Township
v. Schempp, 374 U.S. 203, 304 (1963) (Brennan, J.,
concurring), that ‘‘[t]he reference to divinity in the re-
vised pledge of allegiance * * * may merely recognize the
historical fact that our Nation was believed to have been
founded ‘under God.’. Thus reciting the pledge may be no
more of a religious exercise than the reading aloud of
Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, which contains an allusion
to the same historical fact.’’; and
Whereas this ruling treats any religious reference as inher-
ently evil and is an attempt to remove such references
from the public arena: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that—
(1) the Pledge of Allegiance, including the phrase
‘‘One Nation, under God,’’ reflects the historical fact
that a belief in God permeated the founding and develop-
ment of our Nation;
(2) the Ninth Circuit’s ruling is inconsistent with
the United States Supreme Court’s First Amendment
jurisprudence that the Pledge of Allegiance and similar
•HRES 459 EH
expressions are not unconstitutional expressions of reli-
gious belief;
(3) the phrase ‘‘One Nation, under God,’’ should re-
main in the Pledge of Allegiance; and
(4) the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals should agree
to rehear this ruling en banc in order to reverse this con-
stitutionally infirm and historically incorrect ruling.

with disabilities that he supported; and
Whereas Justin Dart, Jr., passed away at his home on June
22, 2002, and is survived by his wife, Yoshiko Dart, five
daughters, 11 grandchildren; and two great-grand-
children: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

the true champions of the rights of individuals with
disabilities and for his many contributions to the
Nation throughout his lifetime, and honors him for
his tireless efforts to improve the lives of individuals
