the decision of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and that the House

Mr. ISRAEL (for himself and Mr. SHOWS) submitted the following resolution;
which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in schools is constitu-
tional, that the Congress deplores the decision of the
9th Circuit Court of Appeals and that the House of
Representatives encourages every American to start their
day by reciting the Pledge.
Whereas the original Pledge of Allegiance was written by
Francis Bellamy in 1892;
Whereas the Congress of the United States officially endorsed
the Pledge of Allegiance in 1942;
Whereas in 1954 Congress officially added the words ‘‘Under
God’’ to the Pledge;
•HRES 466 IH
Whereas the Supreme Court ruled in 1943 that school-
children could not be forced to recite the pledge;
Whereas the House of Representatives begins each of its days
by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance;
Whereas millions of Americans have been reciting the current
Pledge without significant controversy for 48 years;
Whereas the 9th United States Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional on June
26, 2002;
Whereas the United States is currently engaged in military
combat in the War on Terrorism;
Whereas the decision of the 9th United States Circuit Court
of Appeals could provide aid and comfort to enemies of
the United States of America; and
Whereas our nation is one nation, under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That it is
the sense of the House of Representatives that—
(1) reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in schools
and other public places is constitutional;
(2) the decision of the 9th United States Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals is wrong, erroneous, deplor-
able, and should be overturned by the United States
Supreme Court; and
(3) Americans of every age should be encour-
aged to begin their day by reciting the following
Pledge: I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United
States of America and to the Republic for which it
•HRES 466 IH
stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with lib-
erty and justice for all.

In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
July 22, 2002.
Whereas the poinsettia, native to Central America, flourished
in the area of southern Mexico known as Taxco del
Alarcon, where the Aztecs used it both decoratively and
to make practical substances, including medicine to treat
fever and dye for textiles and cosmetics;
Whereas the poinsettia was first brought to the United States
by Joel Roberts Poinsett, the United States Ambassador
to Mexico from 1825 to 1829, who collected specimens of
the flower while serving as Ambassador and sent them to
his greenhouses in South Carolina;
Whereas Paul Ecke, Jr. has been known and revered for
more than five decades as an outstanding business and
community leader in the region of San Diego, California,
and in both the domestic and international floral indus-
tries;
Whereas the Ecke Ranch, established by Paul Ecke, Sr. and
subsequently owned and developed by Paul Ecke Jr. and
now by his son, Paul Ecke III, has created a worldwide
poinsettia market;
Whereas the genetic work of the Ecke Ranch has been li-
censed to growers everywhere, and poinsettia lines devel-
•HRES 471 EH
oped there are responsible for more than 80 percent of
the world poinsettia market;
Whereas by revolutionizing the way poinsettias are bred, pro-
duced, and sold, Paul Ecke, Jr. helped to make poin-
settias the best-selling potted flowering plant in the
United States and in the world;
Whereas in 2001 poinsettias contributed $256,000,000 in
sales at the wholesale level to the United States economy
alone, and many times that amount to the economies of
countries all over the world;
Whereas December 12 has been traditionally recognized as
‘‘National Poinsettia Day’’ for more than 150 years; and
Whereas Paul Ecke, Jr. led the horticultural industry’s suc-
cessful effort to include, for the first time, significant re-
search funding for floral and nursery crops in the re-
search budget of the United States Department of Agri-
culture: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes Paul Ecke, Jr.’s legendary energy,
generosity, integrity, optimism, determination, and love
of people which have enabled him to develop the poin-
settia industry as well as to touch and improve the lives
of children and adults all over the world through his ex-
traordinary contributions; and
(2) extends its condolences to the Ecke Family and
to the floral industry on the death of Paul Ecke, Jr.,
