H. Res. 171
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 22, 2007.
Whereas Marie-Joseph-Paul-Yves-Roch-Gilbert Du Motier, 
commonly known as the Marquis de Lafayette, was born 
on September 6, 1757, and occupies a considerable place 
in the history of the United States; 
Whereas Lafayette was a man of considerable military skill 
who expressed sympathy for American revolutionary 
fighters, decided to aid colonists in their struggle for 
independence, and was voted by Congress the rank and 
commission of major general in the Continental Army; 
Whereas Lafayette’s military service was invaluable to Gen-
eral George Washington during many Revolutionary War 
battles, earning him the reputation as ‘‘the soldier’s 
friend’’; 
Whereas Lafayette’s strategic thinking, military skill, and 
dedication as a general officer serve as a model for 
present day American military officers; 
Whereas Congress appropriated awards and honors in honor 
of Lafayette’s service to the American people, including 
the commissioning of a portrait that hangs in the House 
Chamber; 
Whereas because of Lafayette’s strong belief in freedom, he 
advocated the abolition of slavery in the Americas, fa-

vored equal legal rights for religious minorities in France, 
and became a prominent figure in the French Revolution; 
Whereas, in 1824, at the invitation of President Monroe, La-
fayette embarked upon a triumphant, 13-month tour of 
all 24 States of the then-United States, during which he 
became the first foreign dignitary to address the House 
of Representatives, and visited many Masonic bodies; 
Whereas because of America’s affection for Lafayette, many 
United States cities, towns, and counties have been 
named for him; 
Whereas Lafayette symbolizes the assistance America re-
ceived from Europe in the struggle for independence; 
Whereas United States aid to France during the world wars 
of 1917-1918 and 1941-1945 stemmed in part from 
shared values of democracy and freedom, which Lafayette 
strongly supported; 
Whereas the friendship between the people of the United 
States and France has not diminished; and 
Whereas continued relationships between the United States 
and France are important to the success of our global 
partnerships: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) honors Marquis de Lafayette on the 250th anni-
versary of his birth; and 
(2) urges the cadets of the United States military 
academies and military officers participating in various 
professional military education courses to study Lafay-

Whereas it is essential to educate the public on the symp-
toms, treatments, and cures related to inflammatory skin 
diseases; and 
Whereas December would be an appropriate month to estab-
lish a National Inflammatory Skin Disease Awareness 
Month: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that there should be established a National 
Inflammatory Skin Disease Awareness Month.
