                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing appreciation to the people and Government of Canada for 
 their long history of friendship and cooperation with the people and 
    Government of the United States and congratulating Canada as it 
                       celebrates ``Canada Day''.

Whereas the United States has a long-cherished economic, social, and political 
        partnership with Canada;
Whereas the United States and Canada share not only a 5,500 mile border, but 
        also common ideals and cultural affinities;
Whereas in this era of heightened security, the United States and Canada have 
        renewed cooperative efforts to safeguard the movement of people and 
        goods, improve information-sharing, and strengthen border infrastructure 
        and technology; and
Whereas July 1st of each year is officially celebrated in Canada as ``Canada 
        Day'' in recognition of the anniversary of the establishment of the 
        union of the British North American provinces in a federation called 
        Canada: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses its appreciation to the people and Government 
        of Canada for their long history of friendship and cooperation 
        with the people and Government of the United States; and
            (2) congratulates Canada as it celebrates its annual 
        ``Canada Day''.
