   Recognizing the sacrifice and dedication of members of America's 
      nongovernmental organizations (NGO's) and private volunteer 
  organizations (PVO's) throughout their history and specifically in 
  answer to their courageous response to recent disasters in Central

    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) recognizes and commends the sacrifice, dedication, and 
        commitment of those serving with, and those who have served 
        with, American nongovernmental organizations (NGO's) and 
        private volunteer organizations (PVO's) that provide 
        humanitarian relief to millions of the world's poor and 
        displaced;
            (2) urges all Americans to join in commemorating and 
        honoring those serving in, and those who have served in, 
        America's NGO and PVO community for their sacrifice, dedication 
        and commitment; and
            (3) calls upon the people of the United States to 
        appreciate and reflect upon the commitment and dedication of 
        relief workers, that they often serve in harm's way with 
        threats to their own health and safety, and their organizations 
        who have responded to recent tragedies in Central America and 
        Kosovo with great care, skill, and speed, and to make 
        appropriate steps to recognize and encourage awareness of the 
        contributions that these relief workers and their organizations 
        have made in helping ease human suffering.
