    Congratulating the people of India on the occasion of the 46th 
              anniversary of their nation's independence.

Whereas, on August 15, 1947, the people of India were granted their independence 
        from the British Empire;
Whereas the people of India have maintained a free and democratic nation for 46 
        years;
Whereas the Republic of India is the largest democracy in the world;
Whereas the people of the United States seek to maintain friendly ties with the 
        democratic nations of the world; and
Whereas the recent decline in world tensions offers new opportunities for 
        international cooperation at every level: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates the people of India on the occasion of 
        the 45th anniversary of India's independence from the British 
        Empire, which will be celebrated on August 14, 1993; and
            (2) looks forward to the continuance of friendly relations 
        between the people of the United States and the people of 
        India.

                                 <all>
