                               RESOLUTION


 
 Recognizing the important relationship between the United States and 
                                Mexico.

Whereas the United States and Mexico share a special bilateral friendship which 
        is matched by few other countries in the world;
Whereas the United States and Mexico are partners joined by geography as well as 
        by a multitude of government-to-government and private relationships 
        which are of critical importance to both countries;
Whereas the United States and Mexico share concerns on a wide range of issues, 
        including trade, immigration, the environment, economic development, and 
        regional security and stability;
Whereas Vicente Fox Quesada of the Alliance for Change (consisting of the 
        National Action Party and the Mexican Green Party) was sworn in as 
        President of the United Mexican States on December 1, 2000, the first 
        opposition candidate to be elected president in Mexico in seven decades;
Whereas the United States, as Mexico's neighbor, ally, and partner in the 
        hemisphere, has a strong interest in President Fox's success in 
        promoting prosperity and democracy in his country and the region during 
        his term of office; and
Whereas President Vicente Fox is making a state visit to Washington, D.C. on 
        September 5-7, 2001: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) welcomes the state visit by the President of the United 
        Mexican States, Vicente Fox Quesada; and
            (2) declares that, in keeping with the just interests of 
        the United States, the special nature of the relationship 
        between the United States and Mexico should be further 
        cultivated to the mutual benefit of both countries.
