diabetes may be controllable through greater public understand-
ing, awareness, and education; and 
Whereas diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, kidney disease, 
heart disease, stroke, birth defects, and lower life expectancy, 
which complications may be reduced through greater patient and 
public understanding, awareness, and education: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United

Callowhill Penn. 
[S.J. Res. 80] 
Whereas William Penn, as a British citizen, founded the Common-

upon faith in divine guidance, representative government, public 
education without regard to race, creed, sex or ability to pay, and 
respect for the civil liberties of all persons; 
Whereas William Penn, as a farsighted reformer, established a 
judicial system including public trials, trial by a jury of peers, 
limitations on the imposition of capital punishment, and the 
substitution of workhouses for prisons; 
Whereas William Penn worked to protect rights concerning per-
sonal conscience and freedom of religion consistent with the 
principles of the first amendment of the Constitution; 
Whereas William Penn was conscientiously opposed to war as a 
means of settling international disputes and worked toward the 
elimination of war by proposing the establishment of a Parlia-
ment of Nations, not unlike the present-day United Nations; and 
Whereas Hannah Callowhill Penn, wife of William Penn, for six 
years effectively administered the Province of Pennsylvania and 
like her husband devoted her life to the pursuit of peace and 
justice: Now, therefore, be it

hereby authorized and requested to declare by proclamation that 
William Penn, founder of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and 
his wife, Hannah Callowhill Penn, are honorary citizens of the
