a city in the State of Oregon; 
Whereas the Molalla Indians, whose descendants are mem-
bers of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, first in-
habited Molalla; 
Whereas settlers arrived in the area in the mid-nineteenth

Whereas during the 1850s, Molalla became home to schools, 
a post office, a general store, trade, and an active agri-
cultural industry;

Whereas the Molalla Pioneer was established as Molalla’s

Whereas in 1913, Molalla celebrated the arrival of its first 
steam train with a rodeo, taken over in 1923 by the 
Molalla Buckeroo Association and now known as the 
Molalla Buckeroo; 
Whereas people from throughout the region participate in the 
annual Molalla Buckeroo Rodeo and the Ross Coleman 
Invitational Professional Bull Riding event; 
Whereas timber production, nurseries, Christmas tree produc-
tion, and other agricultural industries have supported the 
Molalla economy for the past century; and 
Whereas thousands of people each year come to Molalla to 
experience the Molalla River Recreation Corridor through 
kayaking, fishing, hunting, camping, horseback riding, 
and other recreational activities: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors 
and commends the City of Molalla, Oregon, and its people

Whereas four Americans were killed in the attack: Ambas-
sador J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, 
and Tyrone Woods; 
Whereas Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were former Navy 
SEALs serving as security personnel in Libya who, as 
the attack unfolded, fought valiently to defend American 
property and protect United States personnel; 
Whereas their small security team was thrown into action in 
the face of enemies who were better armed with heavier 
weapons and who greatly outnumbered the Americans, 
and in ensuing combat, Woods and Doherty sacrificed 
their own lives in the effort to save the lives of others; 
Whereas according to Executive Order 1086, signed by Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy on February 22, 1963, the first 
listed criterion for the award of the Medal of Freedom 
by the President is to ‘‘any person who has made an es-
pecially meritorious contribution to . . . the security or 
national interests of the United States’’, which is a de-
scription that clearly fits both Glen Doherty and Tyrone 
Woods: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the President should award the Presi-
dential Medal of Freedom posthumously to Glen Doherty 
and Tyrone Woods for their selfless dedication, courage, 
and sacrifice during the battle in Benghazi, Libya, during 
the night of September 11–12, 2012.

SEC. 207. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.
It is the sense of the Congress that the subsidy mod-
els prepared by the Office of Management and Budget rel-
ative to loan programs sponsored by the United States
Small Business Administration have a tendency to:
(1) overestimate potential risks of loss; and
(2) overemphasize historical losses that may be
anomolous and do not truly reflect the success of the
programs as a whole.
Consequently, Congress mandates the independent
study in section 103(h) with hopes of improving the ability
of the Office of Management and Budget to more accu-
rately reflect the budgetary implications of such programs.
