                               RESOLUTION


 
Recognizing the League of United Latin American Citizens for sponsoring 
LULAC Senior Citizens Week in California, and commending the League for 
 providing more than 70 years of service to Hispanic Americans of all 
                                 ages.

Whereas the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) was founded in 1929 
        in Corpus Christi, Texas, to protect the civil rights of Hispanic 
        Americans;
Whereas LULAC is the oldest and largest membership organization in the United 
        States devoted exclusively to protecting the interests of Hispanic 
        Americans;
Whereas LULAC has worked to advance the interests of Hispanic Americans in the 
        areas of education, employment, economic development, and civil rights;
Whereas the membership of LULAC reflects a broad cross-section of the Hispanic 
        American community and includes Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and 
        Central and South Americans;
Whereas LULAC represents Hispanic Americans of all ages, from children to senior 
        citizens; and
Whereas the California Executive Board of LULAC unanimously declared the week 
        beginning October 1, 2001, as ``LULAC Senior Citizens Week'' in honor of 
        Hispanic American senior citizens in California: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the League of United Latin American Citizens 
        for sponsoring LULAC Senior Citizens Week in California; and
            (2) commends the League of United Latin American Citizens 
        for providing more than 70 years of service to Hispanic 
        Americans of all ages.
