[H. Res. 677 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                     December 15, 2000.
Whereas the Presidential election in 2000 was the closest in the Nation's 
        history;
Whereas both Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Albert Gore campaigned 
        admirably for the Presidency;
Whereas the closeness of the election led to a long and trying process to 
        determine the winner;
Whereas both Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Albert Gore have called 
        for national unity;
Whereas, during this time of uncertainty, the American people have showed 
        extraordinary patience and confidence in the Nation's system of 
        government;
Whereas it is incumbent upon the Members of the House of Representatives, as 
        elected officials, to demonstrate that the faith of the American people 
        in the Nation's governing institutions is warranted; and
Whereas the many issues confronting the Nation must be addressed for the benefit 
        of those who have entrusted the Government with their voice, the 
        American people: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Members of the House of Representatives are committed to 
fostering a productive and collegial partnership with the 43rd President in 
order to bring comity to the Government and progress to the United States.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
