H. Res. 942
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
September 20, 2006.
Whereas in 1906, one hundred years ago, the people of Iran 
rose in a peaceful democratic revolution against arbi-
trary, despotic rulers; 
Whereas the people of Iran chose to confront these rulers 
with peaceful assemblies of thousands of people in the 
public spaces of Iran until these rulers received their de-
mands; 
Whereas these rulers bowed to the wishes of the people on 
August 5, 1906, and issued a decree for the convocation 
of a freely elected assembly, the Majles, to write a demo-
cratic constitution; 
Whereas the Iranian constitution, written pursuant to the de-
cree of 1906, was a democratic instrument providing 
for—
(1) the establishment of an independent judiciary; 
(2) the establishment of an independent legislature 
with members directly elected by the people; 
(3) socio-political progress, including the separation 
of religion from the affairs of government; and 
(4) the commitment of the government to the terri-
torial integrity of Iran;
•HRES 942 EH 
Whereas the maneuvering of the imperial powers and a fun-
damentalist clergy crushed the democratic aspirations 
represented in the constitution of 1906; 
Whereas the Iranian constitution of 1906 has nevertheless re-
mained in the forefront of the aspirations of the Iranian 
people throughout decades of a long struggle towards 
progress, civil society, and democracy; 
Whereas those ideals were abolished by the clerical-led dicta-
torship of the Ayatollahs in 1979; and 
Whereas August 5, 2006, would be an appropriate day to rec-
ognize the centennial anniversary of the Iranian constitu-
tion of 1906: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes the centennial anniversary of the Ira-
nian constitution of 1906; 
(2) is mindful of the democratic revolution of 1906 
that lead to the drafting of the Iranian constitution; and 
(3) expresses its profound hope that the people of 
Iran will once again enjoy a democratic government in 
the spirit of the Iranian constitution of 1906.

serve; 
Whereas more than 66 percent of the Army’s Civil Affairs 
Units, Psychological Operations Units, Theater Signal 
Commands, Expeditionary Sustainment Commands, and 
Medical Capabilities are in the Army Reserve; 
Whereas the Army Reserve is no longer a force held in stra-
tegic reserve but today functions as an integral and es-
sential operational reserve in support of the missions of 
the active Army; 
Whereas the Army cannot go to war or sustain a military op-
eration without the skilled and trained Ready Reserve 
and Retired Reserve soldiers of the Army Reserve; 
Whereas the Selected Reserve component of the Army Re-

low citizens; 
Whereas the Army and the Army Reserve are recognized as

Whereas nearly one in four Selected Reserve soldiers and 
more than one in five Individual Ready Reserve soldiers

Whereas the Army Reserve makes these contributions to the 
security of our Nation in return for less than 5 percent

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives

That the Congress—

AT THE SECOND SESSION 
Begun and held at the City of Washington on Thursday,

Joint Resolution 
Congratulating the Army Reserve on its centennial, which will be formally celebrated 
on April 23, 2008, and commemorating the historic contributions of its veterans 
and continuing contributions of its soldiers to the vital national security interests 
and homeland defense missions of the United States. 
Whereas on January 9, 1905, the 26th President of the United 
States, Theodore Roosevelt, dispatched a ‘‘special message’’ to 
the Senate and the House of Representatives that ‘‘earnestly 
recommended passage’’ of legislation to establish a Federal 
reserve force of skilled and trained personnel to bring ‘‘our Army 
* * * to the highest point of efficiency’’; 
Whereas on December 14, 1905, the then-Secretary of War and 
later 27th President of the United States, William Howard Taft, 
transmitted to the Senate and the House of Representatives 
a draft bill and letter authored by Major General Leonard Wood, 
‘‘strongly commending * * * proposed legislation’’ to ‘‘increase 
the efficiency of the Medical Corps of the Army’’ by establishing 
a Federal reserve force comprised of specially trained personnel; 
Whereas in response to the recommendations of President Theodore 
Roosevelt and senior military and civilian leaders, the 60th Con-
gress enacted Public Law 101, entitled ‘‘An Act to increase the 
efficiency of the Medical Department of the United States Army’’, 
ch. 150, 35 Stat. 66, which was signed into law on April 23, 
1908, by President Theodore Roosevelt; 
Whereas Public Law 101 authorized the establishment of the first 
Federal reserve force and the first reservoir of trained officers 
in a reserve status for a United States military service; 
Whereas Congress subsequently adapted, expanded, and amended 
the reserve organization of the Army to include additional mili-
tary occupational specialties and capabilities and established the 
organization today known as the Army Reserve; 
Whereas the Army Reserve has played a major role in the defense 
of our Nation and in furtherance of United States interests for 
100 years; 
Whereas many distinguished Americans have served honorably and 
with distinction in the Army Reserve, including Presidents Harry 
S Truman and Ronald W. Reagan, the former Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Henry H. Shelton, Brigadier Gen-
eral Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Major General William J. Donovan 
(Director of the Office of Strategic Services during World War 
II), Drs. Charles H. Mayo and William J. Mayo, and Captain 
Eddie Rickenbacker;
