                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the inauguration of Sino-American 
 relations and the sale of the first commercial jet aircraft to China.

Whereas February 21, 2002, marks the 30th anniversary of President Richard 
        Nixon's historic visit to the Peoples Republic of China;
Whereas on February 21, 1972, the world watched as Air Force One, a Boeing 707 
        carrying President Nixon, landed in China to inaugurate a new era in 
        Sino-American relations;
Whereas in the same year, the Civil Aviation Administration of China ordered 10 
        Boeing 707 jet aircraft, marking the resumption of a vibrant trading 
        relationship between the United States and China; and
Whereas President Bush's visit to China on February 21, 2002, commemorates the 
        importance of the re-opening of political and economic ties with the 
        Peoples Republic of China: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) recognizes that President Nixon's historic 1972 visit 
        to China provided the foundation for improved Sino-American 
        relations during the subsequent 3 decades; and
            (2) commends President Bush in his effort to continue to 
        advance a political, cultural, and commercial relationship 
        between the United States and the Peoples Republic of China for 
        the benefit of their respective citizens.
