                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress respecting the 80th anniversary of 
                      the Anti-Defamation League.

Whereas the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is celebrating the 80th anniversary of 
        its founding in 1913;
Whereas ADL has been a major leader in our Nation's quest for justice and fair 
        treatment for all individuals alike by fighting bias, bigotry, and 
        racism and promoting understanding and respect;
Whereas in purpose and program, ADL espouses and fulfills the highest ideals and 
        aspirations of people of all faiths, races, and backgrounds, by 
        countering hatred and violence through the promotion of tolerance;
Whereas ADL's activities are a constant reminder to the world community never to 
        forget the Holocaust and to incorporate its lessons into political 
        systems and decisionmaking;
Whereas ADL has been a leading contributor to the cause of democracy, respect 
        for human rights and human dignity of all peoples, and the security of 
        Jewish communities around the world and of the State of Israel;
Whereas ADL's record of achievement sets an inspiring example of leadership and 
        participation in the struggle for justice;
Whereas ADL continues to grow in strength and scope while maintaining its 
        founding priority of educating the public about anti-Semitism and other 
        manifestations of prejudice; and
Whereas racism and other forms of intolerance still exist and in too many 
        instances lead to hate-inspired violence: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that the Anti-Defamation League 
should be congratulated on its 80th anniversary and commended for 
effectively pursuing the goal of promoting greater tolerance throughout 
the world.
