 Designating March 26, 1998, as ``National Maritime Arbitration Day''.

Whereas Congress recognizes the integral role arbitration plays in expeditiously 
        settling maritime disputes;
Whereas the Society of Maritime Arbitrators is a nonprofit, United States based 
        organization providing arbitration and other Alternative Dispute 
        Resolution (ADR) services to the international maritime industry;
Whereas the Society of Maritime Arbitrators has successfully facilitated the 
        resolution of over 3,400 international commercial and maritime disputes 
        since its inception in 1963; and
Whereas the Society of Maritime Arbitrators celebrates its 35th anniversary on 
        March 26, 1998: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates March 26, 1998, as ``National Maritime 
        Arbitration Day''; and
            (2) requests the President to issue a proclamation 
        designating March 26, 1998, as ``National Maritime Arbitration 
        Day'' and calling upon the people of the United States to 
        observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
