 Commending the American Medical Association on its 150th anniversary, 
   its 150 years of caring for the United States, and its continuing 
 effort to uphold the principles upon which Nathan Davis, M.D. and his 
 colleagues founded the American Medical Association to ``promote the 
   science and art of medicine and the betterment of public health''.

Whereas the American Medical Association's history is a story of America's best 
        medicine, hope, hard work, and triumph;
Whereas the American Medical Association is dedicated to maintaining the 
        sanctity of the patient-physician relationship and upholding ethical 
        standards within the medical profession to lead to a better, stronger 
        house of medicine;
Whereas the American Medical Association promotes its principles through medical 
        school accreditation programs designed to elevate the standard of 
        medical education in the United States through outreach, training 
        seminars, and curriculum development in order to instill core ethical 
        values and beliefs in the physicians of the future; and
Whereas the future of the American Medical Association relies not only on its 
        past accomplishments, but on the physicians who will journey together 
        for another 150 years and beyond of caring for the United States: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the American Medical Association is commended for its 
        advancement of high ethical standards among physicians in the 
        United States and setting the standards for physicians 
        throughout the world;
            (2) all physicians and Americans are encouraged to join in 
        the celebration of the 150th birthday of the American Medical 
        Association and rejoice in 150 years of caring for the United 
        States; and
            (3) the American Medical Association is encouraged to 
        continue into the next millennium to represent and promote the 
        goals of the organization in the physician community, and to 
        continue organizing and fostering high quality patient-
        physician relationships across the United States.
