  To permit the use of the rotunda of the Capitol for a congressional 
                    ceremony honoring Mother Teresa.

Whereas Mother Teresa of Calcutta has greatly enhanced the lives of 
        people in all walks of life in every corner of the world 
        through her faith, her love, and her selfless dedication to 
        humanity and charitable works for nearly 70 years;
Whereas Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, which 
        includes more than 3,000 members in 25 countries who devote 
        their lives to serving the poor, without accepting any material 
        reward in return;
Whereas Mother Teresa has been recognized as an outstanding 
        humanitarian around the world and has been honored by: the 
        first Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971); the Jawaharal Nehru 
        Award for International Understanding (1972); the Nobel Peace 
        Prize (1979); and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1985).
Whereas Mother Teresa has forever enhanced the culture and history of 
        the world; and
Whereas Mother Teresa truly leads by example and shows the people of 
        the world the way to live by love for all humanity: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the rotunda of the Capitol is authorized to be used on June 5, 
1997, for a congressional ceremony honoring Mother Teresa. Physical 
preparations for the ceremony shall be carried out in accordance with 
such conditions as the Architect of the Capitol may prescribe.
