CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress on naming an aircraft 
carrier as the U.S.S. Barry M. Goldwater. 
Whereas Barry M. Goldwater was born in the Arizona Terri-
tory in 1909 to Baron and Josephine Goldwater; 
Whereas Barry M. Goldwater served as a pilot in the United 
States Army Air Corps during World War II and was 
later a Major General in the Air Force Reserve; 
Whereas Barry M. Goldwater was an avid pilot throughout 
his military career and after his retirement; 
Whereas Barry M. Goldwater was elected to the City Council

Whereas throughout his tenure in Congress, Senator Gold-
water was as avid a proponent of a strong national de-
fense as he was a staunch opponent of communism and 
totalitarianism; 
Whereas Senator Goldwater was nominated by the Repub-
lican Party as a candidate for President of the United 
States in 1964; 
Whereas Senator Goldwater memorably declared at the 1964 
Republican Convention, ‘‘I would remind you that extre-
mism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me re-
mind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice 
is no virtue,’’; and 
Whereas Senator Barry M. Goldwater was awarded the Presi-
dential Medal of Freedom in 1986 by President Ronald 
Reagan: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that a nu-
clear-powered aircraft carrier of the Navy, either the air-
craft carrier designated as CVN–79 or the aircraft carrier 
designated as CVN–80, should be named the U.S.S. Barry 
M. Goldwater.

H. CON. RES. 361 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Whereas on May 12, 2008, Irena Sendler, a living example 
of social justice, died at the age of 98; 
Whereas Irena Sendler repeatedly risked her own life to res-
cue over 2,500 Jewish children in Poland’s Warsaw ghet-
to from Nazi extermination during the Holocaust;
•HCON 361 EH 
Whereas inspired by her father, a physician who spent his ca-
reer treating poor Jewish patients, Irena Sendler dedi-
cated her life to others; 
Whereas Irena Sendler became an early activist at the start 
of World War II, heading the clandestine group Zegota 
and driving an underground movement that provided safe 
passage for Jews from the Warsaw ghetto, who were fac-
ing disease, execution, or deportation to concentration 
camps; 
Whereas Irena Sendler became one of Zegota’s most success-
ful workers, taking charge of the children’s division and 
using her senior position with the city’s welfare depart-
ment to gain access to and from the ghetto and build a 
network of allies to help ferry Jewish children from the 
Warsaw ghetto; 
Whereas Irena Sendler was arrested by the Gestapo on Octo-
ber 20, 1943, tortured, and sentenced to death by firing 
squad; 
Whereas Irena Sendler never revealed details of her contacts, 
escaped from Pawiak prison, and continued her invalu-
able work with Zegota; 
Whereas in 1965, Irena Sendler was recognized as ‘‘Right-
eous Among the Nations’’ by the Yad Vashem Holocaust 
memorial in Israel; 
Whereas in 2006, Irena Sendler was nominated for the Nobel 
Peace Prize; 
Whereas Irena Sendler was awarded the Order of the White 
Eagle, Poland’s highest civilian decoration; 
Whereas Irena Sendler’s life has been chronicled in the docu-
mentary film, ‘‘Tzedek: The Righteous’’ and ‘‘Life in a 
Jar’’, a play about her rescue efforts;
•HCON 361 EH 
Whereas Irena Sendler, a woman who risked everything for 
the lives of others and whose bravery is unimaginable to 
many of us, expressed guilt for not being able to do more 
for the Jewish people; and 
Whereas Americans, as well as the world community, are re-
minded not only of the horrible cruelty at the time of the 
Holocaust, but also the incredible difference one person 
can make by knowing Irena Sendler’s story: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) mourns the loss of Irena Sendler, a woman

to the Sendler family; 
(3) honors her legacy of courage, selflessness,
