 Honoring the memory of former Peace Corps Director Loret Miller Ruppe.

Whereas the Members of the Senate were greatly saddened by the death of Loret 
        Miller Ruppe, the longest-serving Director of the Peace Corps; and
Whereas Loret Miller Ruppe's inspirational vision, dedication, and leadership 
        (1) revitalized the Peace Corps as she began or revived programs in Sri 
        Lanka, Haiti, Burundi, Guinea-Bissau, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, and the 
        Cape Verde Islands; (2) energized a new generation of Americans to 
        accept the challenge of serving in the Corps; (3) refocused the Corps on 
        its mission of development to achieve world peace; and (4) did a great 
        service to America and to the millions of the world's citizens touched 
        by her efforts: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That (a) the Senate recognizes and acknowledges the 
achievements and contributions of the longest-serving Director of the 
Peace Corps, Loret Miller Ruppe, and the volunteers she inspired, not 
only for their service in other countries but also in their own 
communities.
    (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the President should honor 
the memory of the Peace Corps' great leader Loret Miller Ruppe and 
reaffirm the commitment of the United States to international peace and 
understanding.
