                               RESOLUTION


 
   Relative to the compilation of eulogies on the life of Richard M. 
             Nixon, former President of the United States.

Whereas all American Presidents affect history in their own way, but few have 
        made more history or shaped the history of their times more than Richard 
        Nixon;
Whereas millions of men and women across America and around the world mourn the 
        death of the 37th President of the United States;
Whereas he will be remembered for his foreign policy accomplishments, and for 
        his dedication to peace;
Whereas in his first inaugural address, President Nixon said ``The greatest 
        honor that history can bestow is the title peacemaker.'';
Whereas because of his efforts as President to improve relations with the then-
        Soviet Union, to bring China out of isolation, and to forge peace in the 
        Middle East, Richard Nixon more than earned the title of peacemaker;
Whereas he travelled the world, speaking on behalf of democracy, freedom, and 
        peace;
Whereas he proposed a landmark family assistance program, created the 
        Environmental Protection Agency, expanded the Food Stamp Program, backed 
        the innovative program called ``revenue sharing,'' signed the Consumer 
        Product Safety Act, and emphasized strengthening law enforcement;
Whereas more and more Americans have come to appreciate President Nixon and his 
        accomplishments;
Whereas they admire him not because he was perfect, but because of his courage 
        and perseverance, his intelligence and his vision, the fact that he 
        loved his family and because he loved his country; and
Whereas whether it was facing an anti-American mob in Venezuela, or going toe-
        to-toe with Khrushchev in the famed ``kitchen debate,'' Richard Nixon 
        always stood up for America: Now, therefore be it,
    Resolved, That the Senate directs that the eulogies offered 
concerning the life of the Honorable Richard M. Nixon, former President 
of the United States, former Vice President of the United States, 
former Representative and former Senator from the State of California 
be bound and printed as a Senate Document.
    Resolved further, That the Secretary communicate these resolutions 
to the House of Representatives and transmit a copy thereof to the 
family of the former President.

                                 <all>
