                               RESOLUTION


 
     Recognizing and commending the Lakota and Dakota Code Talkers.
Whereas the Lakota and Dakota Code Talkers, Native Americans who were members of 
        the Sioux nation, worked in radio communications during World War II and 
        used their Lakota and Dakota languages to relay communications;
Whereas Japanese cryptologists never deciphered the Native American languages 
        that were used as codes during World War II, including the Lakota and 
        Dakota languages; and
Whereas the Lakota and Dakota Code Talkers deserve to be recognized for their 
        contribution to the successful resolution of the war effort in the 
        Pacific: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate recognizes and commends the Lakota and 
Dakota Code Talkers for their invaluable contribution to the successful 
resolution of World War II.
