Whereas during World War II, United States submariners 
sank over 30 percent of the Japanese Navy including 
eight aircraft carriers, one battleship and 11 cruisers, 
and more importantly, the Submarine Force sank 1,300 
Japanese 
merchant 
ships 
totaling 
approximately 
5,000,000 tons, which was almost 60 percent of the Em-
pire’s total merchant ship losses; 
Whereas losses inflicted by the United States Submarine 
Force contributed to the devastation of the Japanese in-
dustrial power that effectively eliminated the ability of 
the enemy to sustain combat forces and replace losses of 
ships and aircraft; 
Whereas World War II diesel-electric submarines had limited 
underwater speed, range, and endurance and usually 
sailed on the surface, where they were vulnerable to 
enemy attack; 
Whereas 52 American submarines were lost during World 
War II, 49 in the Pacific; 
Whereas the United States Submarine Force suffered the 
highest percentage of losses of any branch of the Armed 
Services; 
Whereas during World War II, approximately 3,500 subma-
riners made the ultimate sacrifice; 
Whereas United States submariners were going to war, trust-
ing their lives to a weapon, the torpedo, that, particularly 
in 1942 through 1943, was unreliable, and could even 
turn against them by running erratically in a circular 
path; 
Whereas submarines played both humane and special oper-
ations roles in their campaign against Japan, and in 
many of the hardest fought battles of the war, submarine
•HRES 773 EH 
crews rescued unlucky carrier pilots who ended up in the 
sea, like future United States President George H. W. 
Bush; and 
Whereas members of the Submarine Forces, known as the 
‘‘silent service’’, assumed the difficult task of pioneering 
a new way of fighting so as to protect the liberties and 
freedoms of the United States: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) is committed to promoting and sustaining the 
spirit of unity shared by members of the United States 
Submarine Force; 
(2) is committed to paying tribute once again to the 
seven submariners who were awarded the Medal of 
Honor, including two who were awarded the medal post-
humously; 
(3) wishes to help keep alive the memory of the 
Submarine Force veterans and honor their service just 
as their fellow shipmates do at their gatherings by per-
forming the ceremony known as the ‘‘Tolling of the 
Boats’’; and 
(4) is committed to keeping alive their memory so 
that the American people never forget their courage and 
sacrifice.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 
Mr. HASTINGS of Florida (for himself, Mr. MORAN of Virginia, Mr. WEXLER, 
and Mr. DELAHUNT) submitted the following resolution; which was re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing appreciation to Portugal for accepting two 
detainees released from Guantanamo Bay prison. 
Whereas President Barack Obama has vowed to close the 
prison at Guantanamo Bay in January 2010, necessi-
tating the release or transfer of about 225 persons de-
tained at the facility; 
Whereas at least 50 detainees have thus far been cleared for 
release; 
Whereas since President Obama took office, about 15 detain-
ees have left Guantanamo and were resettled in Britain, 
France, Bermuda, Chad, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Ara-
bia, and Portugal, and 1 detainee was transferred to the 
State of New York for a Federal trial;

Whereas there has been significant opposition in Congress 
and the wider public to settling detainees into the United 
States or transferring detainees to prisons in the United 
States; 
Whereas the United States, must ensure, in compliance with 
international humans rights law, including the Conven-
tion Against Torture, that detainees will not be trans-
ferred to nations where their safety will be jeopardized; 
Whereas in December 2008, Portuguese Foreign Minister 
Luis Amado announced in a public letter to European 
Union officials that Portugal was ready to help the 
United States resettle released detainees; 
Whereas Portugal became the first country to publicly state 
its willingness to take Guantanamo detainees other than 
their own residents or nationals; 
Whereas in late August 2009, Portugal accepted the transfer 
of 2 Syrian detainees who had been cleared for release 
by the United States Government; and 
Whereas according to Portuguese Government officials, the 
two men are not subject to any charge, and have been 
provided homes by the country to live freely: Now, there-

Whereas ‘‘czars’’ have been intended to increase efficiency, 
they traditionally reduce accountability, transparency, 
and legislative oversight; 
Whereas the implementation of three dozen czars adds to an 
ever-expanding Federal bureaucracy in both size and 
scope while concentrating policymaking decisions in the 
hands of a few unconfirmed officials; 
Whereas the appointment of executive ‘‘czars’’ clouds the 
issue of separation of powers between the ‘‘three sepa-
rate, but equal’’ branches of the Federal Government as 
outlined in the Constitution of the United States; 
Whereas the controversy surrounding the former ‘‘Green Jobs 
Czar’’, Van Jones, could have been avoided through the 
constitutionally outlined practice of Senate confirmation

Whereas the ‘‘czars’’ unnecessarily inflate the payroll of the 
administration by redundantly performing tasks under 
the jurisdictions of the Senate-approved cabinet depart-
