,olympic ,games2 and ,whereas the

for the ,united ,states1 and the        
contributions of the ,sac and ,fox      
,nation in ,american history3 ,now1     
therefore1 be it  ,that it is the sense 
of the ,house of ,representatives that  
the ,international ,olympic ,committee1 
through its president1 should officially
 recognize ,jim ,thorpe's unprecedented 
athletic achievements as the sole ,gold 
,medalist in the #aiab pentathlon and   
decathlon events and correct these      
inaccuracies in the official ,olympic   
books4
