Whereas President Thomas Jefferson received the approval of
Congress on 6 February 28, 1803, to fund an expedition
into the West with orders to explore the Missouri River
and such tributaries as might lead to the Pacific Ocean
on the most direct and practicable water route for pur-
poses of commerce, in addition to which, the expedition
was to gather scientific and geographical information,
and to encourage peace among any Indian Nations en-
countered;
Whereas Meriwether Lewis, Captain of the First Regiment of
Infantry, and former Secretary to President Jefferson,
was appointed to lead the expedition, and he selected,
with the approval of the President, William Clark to
serve equally as a Captain in a leadership role;
Whereas the Expedition returned to St. Louis, Missouri, on
September 23, 1806, after a 28-month journey covering
8,000 miles during which it traversed 11 future States:
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and

Resolved, That the House of Representatives directs the
National Park Service to form a committee for the purpose

to memorialize the Lewis and Clark Expedition and because
the City of Louis was the departing and returning points of
the Expedition as depicted by its Gateway to the West Arch,
therefore the City of St. Louis should display a proper rec-

portraying the Expedition to be built in the Luther Ely Smith
Park in downtown St. Louis, which lies between the Arch and
the Old Courthouse, all now governed by the National Park
Service.

RESOLUTION 
To recognize and appreciate the historical significance and 
the heroic human endeavor and sacrifice of the people 
of Crete during World War II and commend the

roic Battle of Crete, which took place on the Greek island

mies; 
Whereas the people of Crete fought tenaciously during the 
Battle of Crete, delaying for two months the Nazi Ger-
man invasion of Russia;
•HRES 592 IH 
Whereas this delay forced Nazi German forces to invade Rus-
sia in the face of the brutal Russian winter, changing the 
final outcome of World War II and leading to the defeat 
of fascism; 
Whereas many historians agree that the Battle of Crete was 
one of the most significant battles of World War II; 
Whereas the Battle of Crete contributed to saving the free 
world from Nazi German occupation, thus preserving de-
mocracy, freedom, and human dignity; 
Whereas the Cretan Resistance Movement was organized to 
fight the Nazi German occupation of the island of Crete; 
Whereas for 4 years, the Cretan Resistance Movement in-
flicted heavy casualties upon Nazi German forces, includ-
ing kidnaping a heavily-guarded Nazi German General, 
setting an example for all of the people of Europe to fol-
low; 
Whereas the people of Crete suffered savage reprisals for 
their heroic resistance when the Nazi German invaders 
randomly executed thousands of civilians and burned and 
destroyed entire communities; 
Whereas many participants in the Battle of Crete and the 
Cretan Resistance Movement later emigrated to the 
United States and became American citizens; and 
Whereas many of these citizens became members of the 
PanCretan Association of America, an organization com-
prised of Greek Americans with ancestry from the island 
of Crete and committed to preserving and promoting the 
rich culture and proud history of Crete: Now, therefore, 
be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
•HRES 592 IH 
(1) observes the memory of the fallen heroes of 
the Battle of Crete; 
(2) honors the living men and women of Crete 
who, during World War II, fought an oppressive in-
vader to preserve the ideals of freedom, democracy, 
and the pursuit of happiness; and 
(3) commends the PanCretan Association of 
America for preserving and promoting the history of 
Crete and its people.
