   Recognizing and honoring the contributions of Indian Americans to 
               economic innovation and society generally.

Whereas the United States is deeply enriched by its Indian American residents;
Whereas the Indian American community and the graduates of the Indian Institutes 
        of Technology (IIT) in the United States have made valuable and 
        significant contributions to society in every profession and discipline; 
        and
Whereas IIT graduates are highly committed and dedicated to research, 
        innovation, and promotion of trade and international cooperation between 
        India and the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the valuable and significant contributions 
        of Indian Americans to American society;
            (2) honors the economic innovation attributable to 
        graduates of the Indian Institutes of Technology; and
            (3) urges all Americans to recognize the contributions of 
        Indian Americans and have a greater appreciation of the role 
        Indian Americans have played in helping to advance and enrich 
        American society.
