                               RESOLUTION


 
   Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the U.S.-R.O.K. (South Korea) 
   Mutual Defense Treaty as a momentous occasion and as an excellent 
 opportunity to reaffirm a mutual commitment and to continue to deepen 
 cooperation and friendship between the United States and the Republic 
                               of Korea.

Whereas October 1, 2003, marks the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Mutual 
        Defense Treaty between the United States and the Republic of Korea (the 
        ``U.S.-R.O.K. Treaty'');
Whereas the U.S.-R.O.K. Treaty was forged at the end of the Korean War as a step 
        toward finding a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula;
Whereas the foundation of the U.S.-R.O.K. Treaty rests on a shared interest in 
        and commitment to peace, democracy, and freedom on the Korean Peninsula, 
        in Asia, and throughout the world;
Whereas for the 50 years following the end of the Korean War and the signing of 
        the U.S.-R.O.K. Treaty, the United States and the Republic of Korea have 
        benefited from a close strategic, economic, and cultural relationship; 
        and
Whereas the 37,000 United States troops, who remain stationed in South Korea, 
        serve as a testament to the enduring strength of the U.S.-R.O.K. Treaty: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the 50th 
anniversary of the signing of the Mutual Defense Treaty between the 
United States and the Republic of Korea as a momentous occasion and as 
an excellent opportunity to reaffirm a mutual commitment and to 
continue to deepen cooperation and friendship between the United States 
and the Republic of Korea.
