                               RESOLUTION


 
            Honoring the Indian American Friendship Council.

Whereas the Indian American Friendship Council was founded in January 1990 with 
        a commitment to promoting relations between the United States and India, 
        the two largest democracies in the world;
Whereas since its inception, the Indian American Friendship Council has been 
        successful in carrying out its mission of improving United States-India 
        relations, supporting developing countries, promoting global democracy, 
        protecting the interests of the Indian-American community, and educating 
        Members of Congress;
Whereas over the years, the Indian American Friendship Council has been the 
        Indian-American organization in the vanguard of representing the Indian-
        American community and fostering relationships between Members of 
        Congress and Indian-Americans nationwide;
Whereas, in particular, the Council has been instrumental in moving forward 
        efforts ranging from rebuilding Gujurat following the disastrous 
        earthquake, to supporting the fight against terrorism following the 
        September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States and the December 13, 
        2001, attack on the Indian Parliament;
Whereas as the Indian American Friendship Council continues to honor its mission 
        for years to come, it is only under the outstanding leadership of Dr. 
        Krishna Reddy, founder and president of the Indian American Friendship 
        Council, that the Council will continue to be as successful as it has 
        been since its creation; and
Whereas the Members of the Indian American Friendship Council and its friends 
        pay tribute to Dr. Reddy's dedicated service, expertise, and loyalty to 
        improving relations between the two largest democracies in the world, 
        the United States and India: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors the Indian 
American Friendship Council.
