   500,000th design patent by the United States Patent and Trademark 
                                Office.

        the design of the Chrysler Crossfire: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the United States Patent and Trademark Office has 
        contributed significantly to the Nation's economy; and
            (2) DaimlerChrysler Corporation and its employees should be 
        commended for their achievement in receiving the 500,000th 
        design patent.
