        communities in which they reside; and
Whereas these citizens have encouraged and fostered trade between the United 
        States and Nations in the Pacific Rim: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress of the United States extends its congratulations to 
His Excellency, General Vasco Joaquim Rocha Vieira, Governor of Macao, 
and the Macao government on the Third Meeting of the Macanese people,
