IV 109th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 245 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES September 15, 2005 Mr. Issa submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States Supreme Court should speedily find the use of the Pledge of Allegiance in schools to be consistent with the Constitution of the United States.

That it is the sense of Congress that— (1)judicial rulings by the United States Court of Appeals for the 4th and 9th circuits have split on the issue of whether the Constitution allows the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in schools; (2)the ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the 4th circuit correctly finds the Constitution does allow such a recitation; and (3)the United States Supreme Court should at the earliest opportunity resolve this conflict among the circuits in a manner which recognizes the importance and Constitutional propriety of the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance by school children.
