Whereas all of the team’s players showed tremendous dedica-

the National Championship: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) commends the University of Minnesota Du-

2003 National Collegiate Women’s Ice Hockey
Championship;
(2) recognizes the achievements of all the
team’s players, coaches, and support staff and in-

defense, and that such self-defense might include under-
taking military action to prevent an imminent attack; 
Whereas the doctrine of preemption represents a radical de-
parture from the official position of the United States 
since the adoption of the Charter of the United Nations; 
Whereas the doctrine of preemption threatens to set a dan-
gerous precedent that might then be cited by other coun-
tries, including other nuclear powers, to justify preemp-
tive military action against perceived threats; 
Whereas United States policy has long recognized the value 
to our national security of advancing the respect for and 
adherence to the international rule of law; 
Whereas actions that diminish the international consensus on 
normative legal behavior and leave open the prospect that 
nations will readily resort to military force outside of 
those normative boundaries increase international insta-
bility and undercut the national security interests of the 
United States; 
Whereas the doctrine of preemption contradicts the Charter 
of the United Nations to which the United States is a 
signatory, which, as a result of its ratification by the 
United States, is incorporated into United States law, 
and which reads, in part, ‘‘All members shall refrain in 
their international relations from the threat or use of 
force against the territorial integrity or political inde-
pendence of any state, or in any other manner incon-
sistent with the purposes of the United Nations’’ (Article 
2, section 4); 
Whereas the Charter of the United Nations, while disallowing 
preventive war, does not preclude military actions of self-
defense, reading in part, ‘‘Nothing in the present Charter
•HRES 141 IH 
shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective 
self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member 
of the United Nations, until the Security Council has 
taken the measures necessary to maintain international 
peace and security’’ (Article 51); and 
Whereas under the United States Constitution, the President, 
as Commander in Chief, possesses the authority to use 
military force to protect the United States from attack 
or imminent attack: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That—
(1) it is the sense of the House of Representa-
tives that the United States possesses the inherent 
right to defend itself against imminent or actual at-
tack, as codified in the Charter of the United Na-
tions and embodied in the traditions of international 
law, but that right does not extend to undertaking 
military action in the absence of such an imminent 
or actual attack; and 
(2) the House of Representatives disavows the 
doctrine of preemption because it poses a threat to 
international law and to the national security inter-
ests of the United States.

To express the sense of the House of Representatives that the maximum 
Pell Grant should be increased to $5,800. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MARCH 13, 2003
Mr. WU submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Education and the Workforce 
RESOLUTION 
To express the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the maximum Pell Grant should be increased to $5,800.
Resolved,
SECTION 1. INCREASE IN MAXIMUM PELL GRANT. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The House of Representatives makes 
the following findings: 
(1) A college education has become increasingly 
important, not just to the individual beneficiary, but 
to the nation as a whole. The growth and continued 
expansion of the nation’s economy is heavily depend-
ent on an educated and highly skilled workforce.
•HRES 144 IH 
(2) The opportunity to gain a college education 
also is important to the nation as a means to help 
advance the American ideals of progress and equal-
ity. 
(3) The Federal Government plays an invalu-
able role in making student financial aid available to 
ensure that qualified students are able to attend col-
lege, regardless of their financial means. Since the 
inception of the Pell Grant program in 1973, nearly 
80,000,000 grants have helped low- and middle-in-
come students go to college, enrich their lives, and 
become productive members of society. 
(4) Nationwide, almost 65 percent of high 
school graduates continue on to higher education. 
This degree of college participation would not exist 
without the Federal investment in student aid, espe-
cially the Pell Grant program. Nearly 25 percent of 
all undergraduate students receive some amount of 
Pell Grant funding. 
(5) In the next 10 years, the number of under-
graduate students enrolled in the nation’s colleges 
and universities will increase by 11 percent to more 
than 11,000,000 students. Many of these students 
will be the first in their families to attend college. 
One in 5 of these students will be from families with
•HRES 144 IH 
incomes below the poverty level. The continued in-
vestment in the Pell Grant program is essential if 
college is to remain an achievable part of the Amer-
ican dream. 
(6) Increasing the maximum Pell Grant to 
$5,800 would result in a $1,800 increase in the 
maximum grant award. 
(7) Because Pell Grant recipients are more like-
ly to graduate with student loan debt and to amass 
more debt than other student borrowers, increasing 
the maximum Pell Grant to $5,800 will help remedy 
this disparity. 
(b) SENSE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the 
maximum Pell Grant should be increased to $5,800.
