Whereas Melvin Jones was born on January 13, 1879, at 
Fort Thomas, Arizona, and passed away on June 1, 
1961, at the age of 82; 
Whereas Melvin Jones founded the International Association 
of Lions Clubs in 1917, under the premise that such 
clubs shall not hold the financial betterment of their 
members as their object; 
Whereas the International Association of Lions Clubs, known 
as Lions International, held its first convention in Dallas, 
Texas, in October, 1917, electing Melvin Jones Secretary; 
Whereas Melvin Jones abandoned his job at an insurance 
agency to devote himself full time to the Lions;
•HCON 42 IH 
Whereas Lions International has 44,500 clubs with over 1.4 
million members in 186 countries and geographical areas 
worldwide; 
Whereas Lions Club members give their time, skills, and re-
sources to encourage charitable giving for the benefit of 
their communities, and for worthy projects throughout 
the world; 
Whereas Lions International has raised billions of dollars for 
various charitable causes, including sight conservation, 
diabetes awareness, cancer research, and disaster relief; 
and 
Whereas, for over 80 years, Lions International has benefited 
countless persons by fulfilling the mission set out by Mel-
vin Jones in the Association’s motto, We Serve: Now, 
therefore, be it

(1) the United States Postal Service should 
issue a postage stamp in honor of Melvin Jones; and 
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee 
should recommend to the Postmaster General that 
such a postage stamp be issued.

current resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International 
Relations 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Congratulating the Republic of India on the conduct of its 
recent democratic national elections. 
Whereas the Republic of India, a vast country of over 
1,000,000,000 people, numerous ethnic and religious 
groups and 18 major languages, has been for 57 years 
the world’s largest democracy; 
Whereas India has a strong multiparty system in which all 
political views are freely expressed and respected; 
Whereas nearly 400,000,000 people cast votes over a three- 
week period, utilizing electronic voting machines at al-
•HCON 433 IH 
most 700,000 polling stations, for 543 seats for the In-
dian national parliament, a monumental undertaking; 
Whereas India’s example of free and fair democratic elections 
and respect for the democratic process is an inspiration 
and model throughout the region and the world; 
Whereas India’s economic prosperity, political dynamism, and 
national security are a direct result of its democratic sys-
tem of government; 
Whereas India and the United States share a special relation-
ship as the world’s two largest democracies, and have a 
shared commitment to respecting and defending the will 
of the people and the rule of law; 
Whereas India and the United States are natural friends and 
allies, sharing common fundamental interests in building 
a peaceful, prosperous, and secure world free from want 
and fear; and 
Whereas India and the United States continue to work closely 
in their common fight against the scourge of terrorism: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) commends the people of the Republic of 
India, the largest democracy in the world, for their 
achievements in establishing a successful democratic 
country, which serves as an example for emerging 
democracies throughout the world;
•HCON 433 IH 
(2) recognizes with satisfaction the strong his-
torical ties and shared interests between India and 
the United States; 
(3) reaffirms the strong friendship between 
India and the United States that will continue to de-

(4) expresses its deepest best wishes and re-
gards for the future success of the new government

Commending the persons who were inducted for service in the United States 
Armed Forces during World War II. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MAY 20, 2004 
Mr. FILNER submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred 
to the Committee on Armed Services 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Commending the persons who were inducted for service in 
the United States Armed Forces during World War II. 
Whereas, one year after Germany’s invasion of Poland in 
September 1939, the Selective Training and Service Act 
of 1940 was enacted, providing the President the author-
ity to induct up to 900,000 men between the ages of 21 
and 36 into the Armed Forces each year; 
Whereas, on December 13, 1941, 5 days after the United 
States entered World War II, that Act was amended to 
allow for an increase in the number of men authorized 
to be inducted into the Armed Forces each year; 
Whereas, of the 16,112,566 United States uniformed per-
sonnel who served during World War II, 10,110,000 were 
persons who had been inducted into the Armed Forces, 
sometimes referred to as draftees;
•HCON 434 IH 
Whereas, after World War II ended in 1945, millions of vet-
erans, including those who had been inducted for service 
during World War II, returned to civilian life, sought new 
careers, and enrolled in college; 
Whereas the education program established by the Service-
men’s Readjustment Act of 1944, also referred to as the 
GI Bill, became the bedrock of the greatest expansion of 
industrial, commercial, and technological innovation in 
the history of the Nation; 
Whereas the veterans who served during World War II have 
distinguished themselves in war and peace, earned the 
Nation’s highest honors, and left a legacy unmatched in 
the Nation’s history; and 
Whereas June 6, 2004, is a suitable occasion to recognize the 
persons who were inducted into the Armed Forces for 
service during World War II because it is the 60th anni-
versary of D–Day, when tens of thousands of persons 
who had been inducted into the Armed Forces were 
among the allied forces that invaded Normandy, France: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That the Congress commends the millions of 
persons who were inducted into the United States Armed 
Forces during World War II and served with great cour-
age and valor to advance the frontiers of freedom around 
the world.
