    To express the sense of the Senate to recognize and commend the 
                 American Business Women's Association.

Whereas the American Business Women's Association (hereafter referred to in this 
        Resolution as the ``Association'') has been making tomorrow better for 
        active and concerned women since 1949;
Whereas at that time, as today, the primary objective of the Association is to 
        aid in the professional, educational, cultural, and social advancement 
        of business women;
Whereas the national organization, founded in Kansas City, Missouri, is an 
        influential organization with a membership exceeding 100,000 from all 
        types of businesses and professions in more than 1,900 chapters in the 
        United States and Puerto Rico;
Whereas the Atlanta Area Council, representing 37 chapters from across the 
        metropolitan Atlanta area, has been a viable business organization;
Whereas the Association offers assistance to women aspiring to successful 
        careers by investing in their education;
Whereas since the Association's inception, chapters have sponsored scholarships 
        for women seeking to further their education;
Whereas the amount awarded annually by chapters has grown to more than 
        $2,000,000; and
Whereas for thousands of working women, the Association is a better way to 
        advance in their education and in their business and personal lives: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate to recognize and 
commend the Association as it continues to communicate to individuals 
the importance of education and self-improvement of business women.
