                               RESOLUTION


 
 Recognizing the inauguration of President Roh Moo Hyun as a momentous 
  moment for the people of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and an 
   opportunity to broaden and deepen the friendship and cooperation 
  between the United States and the Republic of Korea, and for other 
                               purposes.

Whereas Roh Moo Hyun will be sworn in as the President of the Republic of Korea 
        on February 25, 2003;
Whereas the United States, as an ally and partner of the Republic of Korea, has 
        a strong interest in seeing President Roh advance the common goals of 
        democracy and market economy;
Whereas for more than 50 years since the Korean War, a close relationship has 
        existed between the United States and the Republic of Korea, which has 
        been of enormous economic, cultural, and strategic advantage to both 
        nations; and
Whereas President George W. Bush and President Roh Moo Hyun have demonstrated 
        their mutual willingness to forge a deeper alliance between the United 
        States and the Republic of Korea to enhance stability of the region: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes that the inauguration of President Roh Moo 
        Hyun is a momentous moment for the people of the Republic of 
        Korea and an opportunity to broaden and deepen the friendship 
        and cooperation between the United States and the Republic of 
        Korea;
            (2) warmly welcomes President Roh Moo Hyun to visit the 
        United States; and
            (3) communicates to President Roh Moo Hyun and to the 
        people of the Republic of Korea the support of the people of 
        the United States.
