   Honoring the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates 
           (ECFMG) for fifty years of distinguished service.

Whereas the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) was 
        established in 1956 to evaluate the qualifications of international 
        medical graduates entering graduate medical education in the United 
        States;
Whereas ECFMG continues to promote quality health care for the public through 
        its certification program for international medical graduates;
Whereas ECFMG has grown to meet the needs of physicians, medical educators and 
        others involved in the evaluation and certification of health care 
        professionals, both in the United States and abroad;
Whereas, ECFMG, with its programmatic and research activities, has demonstrated 
        a commitment to improving world health through excellence in medical 
        education; and
Whereas ECFMG in 2006 will celebrate fifty years of promoting excellence in 
        international and medical education: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress recognizes and honors the Educational Commission for 
Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) for its fifty years of distinguished 
service.
