H. RES. 442
Congratulating the United States nuclear energy industry on its 50th 
anniversary. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
NOVEMBER 17, 2003
Mr. OTTER (for himself and Mr. SIMPSON) submitted the following resolution; 
which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce 
RESOLUTION 
Congratulating the United States nuclear energy industry 
on its 50th anniversary.
Whereas 2003 marks the 50th anniversary of President Ei-
senhower’s ‘‘Atoms for Peace’’ address to the United Na-
tions which launched a bold initiative to advance the 
peaceful use of nuclear energy; 
Whereas widespread use of nuclear technology in medicine, 
manufacturing, space exploration, research, energy pro-
duction and a host of other beneficial functions has made 
President Eisenhower’s vision a reality; 
Whereas in the early 1950’s at a laboratory now known as 
the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Lab-
oratory, a group of 16 scientists, engineers, and techni-
cians produced the first usable electricity from nuclear 
fission, lighting four lightbulbs in a historic moment;
•HRES 442 IH 
Whereas in the mid 1950’s the Idaho laboratory made history 
again when another early reactor prototype lit up the 
town of Arco, Idaho (population 1,000) with electricity 
from nuclear energy; 
Whereas today 103 nuclear power plants provide electricity to 
one in five homes and businesses in the United States; 
Whereas nuclear energy generates reliable, affordable elec-
tricity without emitting greenhouse gases; 
Whereas nuclear energy has contributed greatly to the gen-
eral welfare of the people of the United States during the 
past half century; and 
Whereas nuclear energy will remain a valued energy source 
for many years to come, offering great promise in pro-
ducing clean fuel for the future: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives con-
gratulates the United States nuclear energy industry on 
its 50th anniversary.

Honoring the service and sacrifice of the United States Armed Forces military 
working dog teams for the part they have played in the Nation’s military 
history. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 29, 2003
Mr. HAYES submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Armed Services 
RESOLUTION 
Honoring the service and sacrifice of the United States 
Armed Forces military working dog teams for the part 
they have played in the Nation’s military history.
Whereas beginning in World War I, the United States Armed 
Forces have actively recruited, trained, equipped, and de-
ployed tens of thousands of military working dog teams 
to ensure the safety of United States military and civilian 
personnel operating under the exigencies of war and 
peacekeeping operations; 
Whereas since World War I, tens of thousands of American 
families have donated dogs to the Armed Forces in an ef-
fort to help protect and save American lives during times 
of war and peacekeeping missions on foreign soil;
•HRES 44 IH 
Whereas the tasks that military working dog teams have been 
trained to perform include scout, water scout, sentry, 
tracker, messenger, tunnel detector, mine, booby trap and 
bomb detector, search and rescue, and drug detector; 
Whereas during the Vietnam War, bounties were offered for 
the termination of military working dogs and their han-
dlers because of their effectiveness at detecting enemy in-
filtrations into United States airfields and base camps, 
alerting on snipers and ambushes, sniffing out hidden 
enemy base camps, locating enemy underground tunnel 
complexes, and finding hidden caches of enemy weapons, 
food, and medical supplies; 
Whereas thousands of military dog handlers and their dogs 
have been killed or wounded in action; 
Whereas dogs have abilities that the most advanced tech-
nology cannot match, rendering them invaluable to per-
sonnel serving in the Armed Forces; 
Whereas dogs have not only helped win battles and save lives, 
but also have had an enormous beneficial effect upon the 
mental well-being of those humans with whom they 
served, sometimes in the severest of battle conditions; 
Whereas tens of thousands of additional United States 
servicemembers would have been killed or wounded in ac-
tion had it not been for the courageous efforts and sac-
rifices of military working dog teams; and 
Whereas the Armed Forces continue to train, equip, and de-
ploy thousands of military working dog teams in support 
of United States peacekeeping missions around the world: 
Now, therefore, be it:
Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors 
the service and sacrifice of the tens of thousands of United
•HRES 44 IH 
States Armed Forces working dog teams that served dur-
ing World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the 
Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and Bosnia peace-
keeping operations and the working dog teams serving 
during current operations in the Global War on Terrorism.
