 Congratulating the National Farmers Union for 100 years of service to 
            family farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

Whereas the National Farmers Union celebrates its centennial anniversary in 
        2002;
Whereas during its 100 years of service to rural America, the National Farmers 
        Union has faithfully promoted the organization's mission of education, 
        legislation, and cooperation as identified by its founders and 
        proclaimed in its triangular symbol;
Whereas the National Farmers Union represents nearly 300,000 family farmer and 
        rancher members across the United States;
Whereas the National Farmers Union epitomizes the spirit and energy of hundreds 
        of thousands of family farmers, ranchers, rural advocates, and 
        communities;
Whereas the National Farmers Union remains dedicated to protecting and enhancing 
        the quality of life for rural America;
Whereas the National Farmers Union has been instrumental in the establishment 
        and progress of the farmer-owned cooperative movement; and
Whereas the National Farmers Union strives to improve rural America through 
        proactive support and proposals to enhance rural economic development, 
        educational opportunities, resource conservation, market competition, 
        domestic farm income, and international cooperation: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the Senate commends and congratulates the National 
Farmers Union for a century of dedicated service to the farmers, 
ranchers, and rural communities of the United States.
