                               RESOLUTION


 
   Recognizing the 30th anniversary of the founding of the National 
                    Foundation for Cancer Research.

Whereas since its founding in 1973, the not-for-profit National Foundation for 
        Cancer Research has provided more than $200,000,000 to fund scientific 
        research on all major types of cancer;
Whereas such research has been conducted by hundreds of doctors and scientists 
        in dozens of different countries, yielding numerous research journal 
        articles and helping countless patients;
Whereas the National Foundation for Cancer Research has aided innovation in the 
        way that cancer research is conducted, instituting programs such as 
        ``Laboratory Without Walls'' to promote the sharing of ideas and 
        information across disciplines;
Whereas the National Foundation for Cancer Research funds the very early stages 
        of basic cancer research for which funding from other sources is scarce; 
        and
Whereas the research funded by the National Foundation for Cancer Research has 
        led to breakthroughs that underlie much of the cutting-edge cancer 
        research being conducted today: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the invaluable contributions made by the 
        National Foundation for Cancer Research in the search for a 
        cure for cancer;
            (2) expresses gratitude to the National Foundation for 
        Cancer Research for its tireless efforts on behalf of cancer 
        patients in the United States and throughout the world; and
            (3) honors and acknowledges the achievements of the 
        National Foundation for Cancer Research on the occasion of its 
        30th anniversary.
                                 <all>
