H. Res. 318
In the House of Representatives, U.S., 
June 13, 2006.
Whereas married fathers are more likely to have a close, en-
during relationship with their children than unmarried 
fathers; 
Whereas according to a 1996 Gallup poll, 90.3 percent of 
Americans agree that fathers make a unique contribution 
to their children’s lives; 
Whereas in a study of fathers’ interaction with their children 
in intact two-parent families, nearly 90 percent of the fa-
thers surveyed said that being a father is the most ful-
filling role a man can have; 
Whereas a broad array of the Nation’s leading family and 
child development experts agree that it is in the best in-
terests of children and the Nation as a whole to encour-
age more two-parent families where the father is actively 
involved with his children; 
Whereas promoting responsible fatherhood can help increase 
the chances that children will grow up with two caring 
parents; 
Whereas children with fathers at home tend to do better in 
school, to be less prone to emotional and behavioral prob-
lems, and to have more successful relationships;
•HRES 318 EH 
Whereas boys and girls alike demonstrate greater self-control 
and ability to take initiative when fathers are actively in-
volved in their upbringing; 
Whereas children who are apart from their biological fathers 
are, in comparison to other children, 5 times more likely 
to live in poverty, and more likely to bring weapons and 
drugs into the classroom, commit other crimes, drop out 
of school, commit suicide, abuse alcohol or drugs, or be-
come pregnant as teenagers; 
Whereas the promotion of responsible fatherhood should not 
denigrate the standing or parenting efforts of single 
mothers, whose efforts are heroic, lessen the protection of 
children from abusive parents, cause women to remain in, 
or enter into, abusive relationships, or compromise the 
health or safety of a custodial parent; and 
Whereas Father’s Day is the third Sunday in June: Now, 
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) commends the millions of fathers who serve as 
wonderful, caring parents for their children; 
(2) calls on fathers across the Nation to use Fa-
ther’s Day to reconnect and rededicate themselves to 
their children’s lives, to spend Father’s Day with their 
children, and to express their love and support for their 
children; 
(3) urges men to understand the level of responsi-
bility fathering a child requires, especially in the encour-
•HRES 318 EH 
agement of the moral, academic, and spiritual develop-
ment of children; and 
(4) encourages active involvement of fathers in the 
rearing and development of their children, including the 
devotion of time, energy, and resources.

•HRES 665 IH 
Whereas National Guard personnel are currently deployed in 
Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, and more than 40 other 
countries around the world; 
Whereas 90 percent of the troops on the ground in Louisiana 
and Mississippi responding to Hurricane Katrina were 
members of the National Guard; 
Whereas, while performing these critical missions, the Na-
tional Guard continues to experience significant equip-
ment shortages, especially vehicle and radio shortages; 
Whereas members of the National Guard are not ‘‘weekend 
warriors’’, but citizen-soldiers and airmen who serve full- 
time when their country needs them to do so; 
Whereas the National Guard is a resource shared by the chief 
executive officers of the States and the President; 
Whereas the National Guard is America’s militia; 
Whereas deployment to fight terrorism on two fronts over-
seas, while protecting the United States homeland, has 
stretched the National Guard thin; 
Whereas the future of the National Guard could be deter-
mined by the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) cur-
rently underway; 
Whereas the Army and Air Force could recommend changes 
in the force structure of the National Guard; 
Whereas reductions in force structure could impact numerous 
Army National Guard armories and Air National Guard 
wings; 
Whereas reductions in force structure combined with the lack 
of adequate equipment for the National Guard threaten 
its capacity to discharge its missions and its ability to re-
spond in emergencies;
•HRES 665 IH 
Whereas homeland defense is the most important mission of 
the Department of Defense; and 
Whereas the National Guard is the force best suited to de-
fend the homeland and therefore the element from which 
resources should not be cut: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the vital Federal and State mis-
sions of the Army National Guard of the United 
States and the Air National Guard of the United 
States, including support of ongoing missions in Iraq 
and Afghanistan and homeland defense and disaster 
assistance and relief efforts; 
(2) recommends that the Department of De-
fense propose fully funding the equipment needs of 
the National Guard; 
(3) believes that the Department of Defense 
should, as soon as possible, consult with the chief ex-
ecutive officers of the States, as well as Congress, on 
any proposed changes to the National Guard force 
structure; 
(4) requests that any plan of the Department 
of Defense regarding the National Guard force 
structure take into account the role of the National 
Guard role in homeland defense and other State 
missions as defined by the chief executive officers of 
the States;

(5) requests that the Department of Defense 
prepare budget projections that detail cost savings 
from any changes in National Guard force structure, 
as well as projected costs in the event large per-
sonnel increases are necessary to respond to a na-
tional emergency; and 
(6) requests that the Department of Defense 
assure Congress and the chief executive officers of 
the States that potential changes in the National 
Guard force structure will not impact the safety and
