                               RESOLUTION


 
    Congratulating International House on the occasion of its 75th 
                              anniversary.

Whereas International House at 500 Riverside Drive, New York City, was founded 
        in 1924 as a residence and program center for graduate students and 
        trainees from all nations;
Whereas International House was created to allow diverse peoples from around the 
        world the opportunity to live together in a shared cultural and 
        intellectual environment, and enable its residents and members to 
        understand and better appreciate people of divergent backgrounds; and
Whereas in the last 75 years International House has grown from this fundamental 
        concept to become an internationally recognized institution, serving as 
        a vital resource for the global academic, business, professional, and 
        artistic communities: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate commends International House for its 
distinguished service to the people of the United States and all 
citizens of the world in the promotion of global understanding and 
world peace and extends congratulations to International House on the 
occasion of its 75th anniversary.
