,newhouse7 submitted the following      
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,foreign ,affairs         
,,resolution  ,recognizing the #afjth   
anniversary of the peaceful resolution  
of the ,pig ,war crisis4  ,whereas for  
more than #dj years1 ,great ,britain and
 the ,united ,states contended over the 
,oregon ,country1 which today comprises 
,washington1 ,oregon1 and ,idaho1 as    
well as portions of ,montana and        
,wyoming and the province of ,british   
,columbia2 ,whereas1 on ,june #ae1      
#ahdf1 the two nations agreed upon the  
#dith parallel as the international     
boundary1 but could not agree on a water
 boundary between ,vancouver ,island and
 the mainland1 where the ,san ,juan     

,islands lie2 ,whereas tensions over    
possession of the islands escalated to  
crisis proportions on ,san ,juan ,island
 when on ,june #ae1 #ahei1 a ,united    
,states farmer shot and killed a pig    
belonging to the ,hudson's ,bay         
,company1 prompting dispatch of naval   
and military forces from both nations to
 the island's southern shore2 ,whereas  
the crisis was resolved peacefully      
through a combination of restraint and  
diplomacy when ,united ,states ,army    
,commander ,lieutenant ,general         
,winfield ,scott arrived from           
,washington1 ,,dc1 to negotiate a       
standdown with ,british ,columbia       
,governor ,james ,douglas2 ,whereas the 
ensuing #ab-year1 peaceful joint        
military occupation of ,san ,juan       
,island challenged ,united ,states      
soldiers and ,british ,royal ,marines to
 cope with the difficulty of #ahfjs     
military life in an isolated            
environment1 yet formed a lasting       
friendship between the two garrisons2   

,whereas1 in #ahgb1 the boundary        
question was settled in favor of the    
,united ,states through arbitration by  
,kaiser ,wilhelm ,i of ,germany1 which  
brought a lasting peace on the #dith    
parallel between ,great ,britain1       
,canada1 and the ,united ,states2       
,whereas ,san ,juan ,island ,national   
,historical ,park was created in #aiff  
to commemorate the peaceful settlement  
of the ,pig ,war crisis and celebrate   
the idea that individuals and nations   
can resolve their differences peacefully
 without resorting to violence2 and     
,whereas diplomats and members of the   
military from the ,united ,states and   
the ,united ,kingdom continue to serve  
their countries side by side in remote  
regions of the world3 ,now1 therefore1  
be it  ,that the ,house of              
,representatives honors the #afjth      
anniversary of the peaceful resolution  
of the ,pig ,war crisis and applauds the
