Whereas members of the United States Armed Forces con-

Whereas more than 300 members of the Armed Forces have 
died and more than 1200 have been wounded while serv-
ing in Iraq since the beginning of Operation Iraqi Free-

RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
prior to the conclusion of the first session of the One 
Hundred Eighth Congress the House should pass legisla-
tion that would create an independent commission or 
select House committee to investigate United States in-
telligence relating to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
•HRES 410 IH 
Whereas the failure of the House of Representatives to pass 
legislation that would create an independent commission 
and select House committee to investigate questions 
about United States intelligence relating to Operation 
Iraqi Freedom would reduce the likelihood of such an in-
vestigation taking place while members of the Armed 
Forces remain at risk and while taxpayers continue to 
fund operations in Iraq at enormous financial cost, which 
could seriously undermine the effectiveness of future in-
telligence interpretation and threat assessment and could 
adversely affect this Nation’s foreign policy: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that prior to the conclusion of the first session 
of the One Hundred Eighth Congress the House should 
pass legislation that would create an independent commis-
sion or select House committee to investigate United 
States intelligence relating to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

referred to the Committee on International Relations 
RESOLUTION 
Honoring Mother Teresa and her many contributions to the

Whereas Gonxha Agnes Bojaxhiu, known commonly through-
out the world as Mother Teresa, was born in Skopje, 
Yugoslavia, on August 26, 1910, the daughter of Alba-
nian parents; 
Whereas recognizing her interest in missionary work from a 
young age, she left home at eighteen to join the Sisters 
of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with a mission in 
Calcutta; 
Whereas as a sister in the Loreto convent she was given the 
name Sister Mary Teresa, later to become Mother Teresa 
in 1937;
HRES 413 IH 
Whereas after twenty years of service to the Sisters of 
Loreto, noted for her charity, unselfishness, courage, and 
capacity for hard work, Mother Teresa was given the op-
portunity to start her own order in Calcutta; 
Whereas on October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa’s new congrega-
tion, the Missionaries of Charity, was officially estab-
lished which, by the 1990s, had expanded to 123 coun-
tries worldwide working with the poorest of the poor; 
Whereas Mother Teresa’s work received widespread acclaim, 
including the Indian Padmashri Award in 1962, the 
Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and 
understanding in 1972, the Balzan Prize for promoting 
peace and brotherhood among the nations in 1979, the 
Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, the United States Medal of 
Freedom in 1985, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 
1997; 
Whereas in 1996 Mother Teresa became the 4th person to be 
made an honorary citizen of the United States; 
Whereas Mother Teresa’s entire life was spent serving with 
joy and love, and honoring the human dignity of each 
and every person as well as inspiring thousands of others 
to do the same; and 
Whereas on October 19, 2003, Pope John Paul II beatified 
Mother Teresa for her legacy of uncompromising faith 
and extraordinary charity: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the United States House of Rep-
resentatives honors Mother Teresa and her many con-
tributions to the world through her mission on the occa-
sion of her beatification.
