        element of United States foreign policy;
Whereas former President Carter and his wife Rosalynn established the Carter 
        Center in 1982;
Whereas the Carter Center has taken an active and vital role in world affairs, 
        always seeking to improve human rights, promote democracy, resolve 
        conflicts, and enhance the lives of the people of the world;
Whereas former President Carter has made countless trips abroad to promote 
        peace, democracy, and human rights, including visits to East Timor, 
        North Korea, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Mexico, among many others; and
Whereas former President Carter has made the promotion of peace, democracy, and 
        human rights his life's work: Now, therefore be it
