                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing condolences on the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, and 
 designating September 6, 1997, as a ``National Day of Recognition for 
        the Humanitarian Efforts of Diana, Princess of Wales''.

Whereas the Senate and the American people heard the announcement of the death 
        of Diana, Princess of Wales, with profound sorrow and deep regret;
Whereas the Princess of Wales touched the lives of millions of Americans and 
        people throughout the world as an example of compassion and grace;
Whereas the Princess of Wales was a committed and caring mother who successfully 
        raised two young sons under great pressure and public scrutiny;
Whereas the Senate recognizes the tireless humanitarian efforts of the Princess 
        of Wales, including the areas of--
            (1) raising awareness of and attention to breast cancer research and 
        treatment;
            (2) HIV/AIDS, particularly in the areas of pediatric AIDS, educating 
        the public regarding the facts of HIV/AIDS transmission, and fostering a 
        public attitude that is intolerant of discrimination against people with 
        HIV/AIDS;
            (3) banning antipersonnel landmines from the arsenals of war, as 
        these indiscriminate weapons often result in casualties to civilians, 
        including children, sometimes many years after the armed conflict in 
        which the mines were used; and
            (4) eliminating the problem of homelessness around the world: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) extends to the people of the United Kingdom sincere 
        condolences and sympathy on the death of Diana, Princess of 
        Wales;
            (2) recognizes the extraordinary impact of the Princess of 
        Wales' humanitarian efforts around the world; and
            (3) designates September 6, 1997, as a ``National Day of 
        Recognition for the Humanitarian Efforts of Diana, Princess of 
        Wales''.
    Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit an enrolled copy 
of this resolution to the family of Diana, Princess of Wales.
