  Recognizing the efforts and contributions of The Women's Museum: An 
                       Institute for the Future.

Whereas The Women's Museum: An Institute for the Future is a Smithsonian 
        affiliate that makes visible the unique, textured, and diverse stories 
        of American women;
Whereas The Women's Museum is based on the belief that a fully democratic civil 
        society must represent and involve both men and women and that the 
        voices, vision, and contributions of women must be part of the fabric of 
        history and the shape of the future;
Whereas The Women's Museum's exhibits and programs expand our understanding of 
        women's participation in shaping the Nation's history and create a 
        lively environment for dialogue and discovery;
Whereas the mission of The Women's Museum is to bring to life the voices, 
        talents, achievements, aspirations, and stories of women of the past, 
        present, and future;
Whereas the purpose of The Women's Museum is to popularize the contributions and 
        achievements of American women;
Whereas The Women's Museum recounts thousands of public and private triumphs and 
        the struggles of those who would be denied their political, social, and 
        spiritual freedoms;
Whereas The Women's Museum is dedicated to uncovering and telling the stories of 
        women of the past and present in a format that is both entertaining and 
        educational in order to bring wholeness to American history;
Whereas The Women's Museum's Ronya Kozmetsky Institute for the Future, offers 
        hands-on educational programming in a 21st century learning environment 
        by encouraging and reinforcing abilities, dreams, and potential, thus, 
        helping young people and adults acquire the resources and competencies 
        to become productive workers, responsible citizens, and successful 
        individuals;
Whereas The Women's Museum is a testament to the power of a national network of 
        women by drawing on the resources of women in leadership across the 
        United States, including more than 5,000 graduates from the Foundation 
        for Women's Resources programs, Leadership Texas and Leadership America;
Whereas The Women's Museum is housed in the former Peter Wolf Hall of 
        Administration at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas; and
Whereas the founder of The Women's Museum, Cathy Bonner, successfully created a 
        showcase for the stories of women's accomplishments and contributions to 
        American life and history: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the efforts 
and contributions of The Women's Museum: An Institute for the Future.
