Mr. President, I am pleased to be joined by Senators Campbell and Inouye in submitting a resolution to honor American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian veterans for their service in the Armed Forces of the United States and to designate November 7, 2004 as ``National Native American Veterans Day''.

This is the second consecutive year that such a resolution has been introduced. November 7, 2003 was designated as National Native American Veterans Day in accordance with Senate Resolution 239. I was proud to join with Senator Campbell, our distinguished chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and Senator Inouye, the distinguished vice chairman of the committee, and others of my colleagues in cosponsoring that resolution. As the events of conflict in Iraq continue we all hope and pray for the safe return of the men and women who are overseas, far from home protecting our Nation and others.

We continue to honor the memory of Army Private First Class Lori Piestewa, a Hopi woman, who fought valiantly and bravely to protect her fellow soldiers during the invasion of Iraq. This year we also remember other Native people who lost their lives in Iraq over the past year. Army Sergeant Lee Duane Todacheene, Marine Lance Corporal Quinn A. Keith, Army Private First Class Harry Shondee, Jr, members of the Navajo Nation, and Army Private First Class Sheldon Hawk Eagle, Cheyenne River Sioux, whose Indian name was Wanbli Ohitika, or Brave Eagle. I apologize if I have failed to acknowledge a brave Native person who lost his or her life in Iraq.

Native people, and especially the Native people of my State of Alaska, revere, admire, and respect our veterans and those who continue to serve. They pray for ones still in battle, alongside their fellow Americans, so that they can have a safe journey back to their loving homes and families. They pray for the ones who have fought, and now, continue their journey through life's struggles.

I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this resolution.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

October 11, 2004

Mrs. Boxer submitted the following resolution; which was considered and
agreed to

_______________________________________________________________________

RESOLUTION

Relating to refundable tax credits for municipalities.

Whereas the Senate today passed a free standing measure which is designed to
address tax relief issues relating to Reservists and National Guardsmen;
Whereas one of the provisions of the package provides tax relief to employers of
Reservists and National Guardsmen;
Whereas the employer provision is targeted to businesses and tax paying
entities;
Whereas state and local governments are facing budgetary pressures, particularly
with regard to homeland security;
Whereas many local first responders have been called to active duty in the
National Guard and Reserves, and many state and local governments have
continued to pay their salaries, thus increasing the budgetary pressure
on state and local governments;
Whereas the Senate recognized this pressure by including in the FSC-ETI bill a
provision to compensate state and local governments for closing the pay
gap of first responders who are called to active duty in the National
Guard and Reserves: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the Sense of the Senate that--
(1) the Senate should reiterate its support for reimbursing
state and local governments for closing the pay gap for first
responders who are called to active duty in the National Guard
and Reserves by considering expanding the employer tax relief
provisions to cover state and local governments; and
(2) the President should consider including such a proposal
in his Fiscal Year 2006 Budget Submission.
