                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the visit of the Prime 
       Minister of New Zealand, the Right Honorable James Bolger.

Whereas New Zealand and the United States enjoy a natural and historic 
        partnership built on shared values and shared Pacific shores, and an 
        unshakable commitment to democracy, human rights and to market 
        economies; and
Whereas the New Zealand Prime Minister will be visiting Washington, DC from 
        March 26 through 29, 1995, to meet with the President and leaders of the 
        United States Congress: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) welcomes the Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Right 
        Honorable James Bolger, to the United States of America on the 
        occasion of his visit;
            (2) recognizes the traditional and close ties between New 
        Zealand and the United States;
            (3) notes with interest the comprehensive economic reforms 
        New Zealand has undertaken over the last ten years, which has 
        seen it move from one of the most insulated and restrictive 
        economies among Organization for Economic Cooperation and 
        Development countries to one of the most open and competitive;
            (4) commends New Zealand for its dedication to reducing 
        agricultural protectionism and liberalizing world trade, 
        particularly in the Uruguay Round, where New Zealand and the 
        United States have worked closely together; and
            (5) welcomes bilateral trade between New Zealand and the 
        United States, which exceeded United States $2,000,000,000 in 
        1994.
