people
of
Japan.
1
WHEREAS,
for
over
five
decades
the
peoples
of
2
Japan
and
Iowa
have
strengthened
their
friendships
3
through
the
cultivation
of
interpersonal
and
commercial
4
relationships,
creating
a
bond
ever
stronger
as
the
5
years
passed,
and
for
that
reason
a
tragedy
for
the
6
people
of
Japan
is
a
tragedy
for
Iowans
as
well;
and
7
WHEREAS,
the
people
of
Japan
have
been
afflicted
8
with
a
triple
calamity:

a

and
1
WHEREAS,
in
spite
of
the
incalculable
suffering
2
and
loss,
the
strength
of
the
Japanese
people
remains
3
unbroken,
as
rescuers
work
around
the
clock
to
bring
4
aid,
comfort,
and
safety
to
the
countless
victims;
and
5
WHEREAS,
the
people
of
Iowa
pay
special
homage
6
to
the
courage
and
honor
of
the
so-called
“Fukushima
7
Fifty”,
that
group
of
180
technicians
who
have
8
continuously
rotated
shifts
at
the
stricken
reactor,
9
despite
the
risk
to
their
own
safety;
and
10
WHEREAS,
in
this
darkest
of
times,
the
people
of
11
Iowa
now
stand
firm
and
ready
with
the
people
of
Japan
12
to
undertake
the
work
of
recovery;
NOW
THEREFORE,
13
BE
IT
RESOLVED
BY
THE
HOUSE
OF
REPRESENTATIVES,
That
14
the
House
of
Representatives,
on
behalf
of
the
people
15
of
Iowa,
expresses
its
sorrow,
and
offers
its
deepest
16
sympathy
to
those
who
have
lost
their
loved
ones,
their
17
homes,
and
their
livelihoods
in
this
most
terrible
of
18
disasters.
