Whereas on July 24, 2005, Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France, the most 
        prestigious race in competitive cycling;
Whereas Lance Armstrong competed against the world's best cyclists for three 
        weeks, covering more than 2,000 miles of difficult and imposing terrain 
        in France and Germany through changing weather conditions;
Whereas his victory in 2005 is the seventh Tour de France win for Lance 
        Armstrong, establishing a new record for the event;
Whereas Lance Armstrong overcame seemingly insurmountable challenges in life to 
        reach the pinnacle of his cycling career;
Whereas Lance Armstrong's achievements are proof that hard work and perseverance 
        can turn dreams into reality;
Whereas after his victory Lance Armstrong announced that he will retire from the 
        sport;
Whereas Lance Armstrong has demonstrated the same level of commitment to 
        improving and enriching the lives of fellow cancer survivors as he has 
        in training for the Tour de France; and
Whereas his devotion to providing cancer survivors with the tools and knowledge 
        to live strong through the Lance Armstrong Foundation is recognized 
        throughout the United States and the world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives congratulates Lance 
Armstrong on his seventh Tour de France victory and his well-deserved 
retirement and recognizes his dedication to helping others.
