  To express Congress' admiration of the late Israeli Prime Minister 
Yitzhak Rabin and his contribution to the special relationship between 
the United States and Israel, and to express the sense of the Congress 
     that the American Promenade in Israel be named in his memory.

Whereas the late Prime Minister Rabin was an outstanding Ambassador during his 
        service in the United States;
Whereas the late Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was a chief architect of 
        the military and nonmilitary ties between the United States and Israel;
Whereas the late Prime Minister Rabin was one of the leading and most consistent 
        and reliable friends of the United States in the world;
Whereas the late Prime Minister Rabin was a cornerstone of the alliance between 
        the United States and Israel in the face of terrorism and radicalism;
Whereas the late Prime Minister Rabin strengthened the values of democracy, 
        pluralism, and market economy, which are at the foundation of both the 
        United States and Israel;
Whereas the late Prime Minister Rabin, the courageous warrior, dedicated most of 
        his life to Israel's independence and security;
Whereas the late Prime Minister Rabin devoted the latter part of his life to the 
        pursuit of lasting peace between Israel and its neighbors;
Whereas the American Promenade in Israel is a privately funded project, 
        expressing Israel's appreciation toward the United States and 
        commemorating the unique bonds of friendship between the two countries;
Whereas the American Promenade had earned the bipartisan support of the top 
        Israeli leadership, including the late Prime Minister Rabin, Prime 
        Minister Shimon Peres, former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, and Likud 
        Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as the leadership of the United 
        States Congress;
Whereas the American Promenade will consist of 50 marble, 20 foot high monuments 
        bearing the flags and the official seals of the 50 States of this 
        country and the United States-Israel Friendship Botanical Garden, 
        featuring biblical and State trees and flowers; and
Whereas the late Prime Minister Rabin served as the Honorary Chairman of the 
        American Promenade: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That--
            (1) the Congress expresses its admiration of the legacy of 
        the late Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and his 
        contribution to the special relationship between the United 
        States and Israel; and
            (2) it is the sense of the Congress that the American 
        Promenade in Israel be named in memory of Prime Minister 
        Yitzhak Rabin as an extraordinary leader who served the cause 
        of peace and who furthered the special relationship between the 
        United States and Israel.
