                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the establishment by the 
Hyundai Motor Company of its first automotive manufacturing facility in 
                           the United States.

Whereas on April 1, 2002, the Hyundai Motor Company decided to locate an 
        automotive manufacturing facility in Montgomery, Alabama;
Whereas this automotive manufacturing plant will be Hyundai's first facility in 
        the United States;
Whereas the expected investment in the United States economy from the new 
        Montgomery Hyundai plant is more than $1,000,000,000;
Whereas Hyundai's Montgomery, Alabama, facility will employ an estimated 2,000 
        primary workers and create more than 4,000 additional jobs in related 
        industries; and
Whereas to date trade relations between the United States and the Republic of 
        Korea with respect to automotive manufacturing have resulted in an 
        approximate $6,000,000,000 deficit with Korea: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That Congress--
            (1) commends the Hyundai Motor Company for its decision to 
        locate its first United States automotive manufacturing 
        facility in Montgomery, Alabama;
            (2) recognizes that the new facility in Montgomery, 
        Alabama, will result in the gainful employment of several 
        thousand Americans, as well as foster economic growth in the 
        surrounding area; and
            (3) recognizes that Hyundai's decision to locate this 
        facility in Alabama is a positive step in improving trade 
        relations between the United States and the Republic of Korea.
                                 <all>
