                               RESOLUTION


 
  Congratulating El Dorado Park South for winning first prize in the 
                   Neighborhood of the Year contest.

Whereas, on May 24, 2003, El Dorado Park South, a community located in Long 
        Beach, California, won first prize in the Neighborhood of the Year 
        contest sponsored by Neighborhoods, USA;
Whereas, in 1975, Neighborhoods USA was created in an effort to share 
        information and experiences toward building stronger communities;
Whereas the Neighborhood of the Year contest aims at furthering such goals;
Whereas entries are judged based on their level of innovation, among other 
        criteria, and awards are distributed in categories for Physical 
        Revitalization in a Single Neighborhood, Social Revitalization in a 
        Single Neighborhood, and Multi-Neighborhood Project Partnerships;
Whereas El Dorado Park South earned first prize in the Social Revitalization 
        category for its recorded entry entitled, ``An Evening of Original 
        Owners,'' which documented stories from 50 original home-owners about 
        life in the community when it was built in 1953;
Whereas, in previous years, four other Long Beach communities have placed among 
        the finalists in the Neighborhood of the Year competition; and
Whereas El Dorado Park South is the first Long Beach community to win first 
        place in the Neighborhood of the Year contest: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the outstanding achievement of El Dorado 
        Park South in creating ``An Evening of Original Owners''; and
            (2) congratulates El Dorado Park South for receiving the 
        honor of becoming the first Long Beach community to win first 
        prize in the Neighborhood of the Year competition.
