  Recognizing The Garden Club of America on the occasion of its 91st 
                            annual meeting.

Whereas The Garden Club of America is holding its 91st annual meeting in 
        Washington, DC, on April 24 through 27, 2004;
Whereas The Garden Club of America has 195 member clubs in 40 States and the 
        District of Columbia, representing over 17,000 members;
Whereas since its founding in 1913, The Garden Club of America has become a 
        recognized leader in the fields of horticulture, conservation, historic 
        preservation, and civic improvement, and an organization influential in 
        the protection of America's environment; and
Whereas here in our Nation's capital, The Garden Club of America was 
        instrumental in the founding of the National Arboretum, the development 
        of the Archives of American Gardens at the Smithsonian Institution, and 
        the creation and installation of the Butterfly Habitat Garden which now 
        graces the National Mall at the National Museum of Natural History: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress commends The Garden Club of America for the many 
contributions it has made in our Nation's capital and in communities 
across America, and sends its best wishes on the occasion of its 91st 
annual meeting in Washington, DC, on April 24 through 27, 2004.
