Whereas on February 23, 1807, Britain passed a bill banning

Whereas Mr. Wilberforce helped inspire and encourage those 
who fought against slavery in the United States, includ-
ing political leaders like John Quincy Adams, spreading 
a message of hope and freedom throughout America and 
the promise of the future; 
Whereas Mr. Wilberforce labored 46 years to abolish the in-
stitution of slavery in the British Empire, ceaselessly de-
fending those without a voice within society; 
Whereas in 1833, Mr. Wilberforce was informed on his death 
bed that the House of Commons had voted to abolish 
slavery; 
Whereas in 2006, the United States Department of State es-
timated that between 600,000 and 800,000 men, women,

Whereas the International Labour Organization estimates 
that there are more than 12 million people in forced 
labor, bonded labor, forced child labor, and sexual ser-
vitude around the world; and 
Whereas the people of the United States, particularly the 
youth of the United States, are called upon to form clubs 
and groups dedicated to working against the modern 
slave trade, human trafficking, and the degradation of

(E) form high school clubs and groups working 
against modern day slavery and the trafficking of 
persons; and 
(3) condemns to the highest degree all forms of

Whereas Congress has a responsibility to make certain that 
the lives of the members of the Armed Forces are never 
put at risk without careful consideration; 
Whereas, under the Constitution of the United States, Con-

Whereas the use of military force by the United States must

H. Res. 16 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
July 30, 2007. 
Whereas Virginia’s James River is considered a great natural 
asset of the United States for its historical, environ-
mental, and economic significance; 
Whereas the first permanent English settlement in America 
was founded on the banks of the James River at James-
town, Virginia, in 1607; 
Whereas, prior to European settlement, the James River was 
known as Powhatan River, a name associated with Chief 
Powhatan, who was a key figure in the relationship be-
tween the Native American tribes and the Jamestown 
settlement; 
Whereas, for thousands of years, the James River provided 
a source of nourishment and enrichment to the Native 
American tribes that lived along its course; 
Whereas the James River played a critical role in the found-
ing of America by sustaining the early settlers with its 
bounty, providing valuable commodities to build the 
emerging economy of a new colony, and serving as a stra-
tegic transportation corridor that shaped the settlement 
and commerce of the region;
