                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Congratulating Bode Miller for winning the 2004-2005 World Cup overall 
                        title in Alpine skiing.

Whereas on March 12, 2005, Bode Miller became the first United States skier in 
        22 years to win the Alpine skiing World Cup overall title;
Whereas on the previous day Bode Miller won the World Cup super G title for the 
        2004-2005 season when he tied teammate Daron Rahlves for first place in 
        the final super G race of the season;
Whereas Bode Miller won gold medals in the downhill and super G at the 2005 
        World Alpine Ski Championships in Bormio, Italy;
Whereas in the 2004-2005 season Bode Miller accomplished what only two other men 
        have done in the history of the Alpine skiing World Cup by leading the 
        overall standings from the season's start to finish;
Whereas Bode Miller finished the 2004-2005 World Cup season with seven victories 
        and became only the second athlete to win in all four disciplines 
        (slalom, giant slalom, super G, and downhill) in a single season;
Whereas Bode Miller was raised in Easton, New Hampshire, began skiing at age 3 
        at nearby Cannon Mountain, and began competing at age 11;
Whereas in 1990 Bode Miller became a competitive ski racer at Carrabassett 
        Valley Academy in Maine at age 13 and debuted in World Cup competition 
        in 1998, finishing 11th in his first race;
Whereas Bode Miller has skied in every World Cup race over the last three 
        seasons;
Whereas Bode Miller's career accomplishments include the 2003-2004 World Cup 
        giant slalom title, six World Cup victories in 2004, two gold medals and 
        a silver medal at the 2003 World Alpine Ski Championships, two Olympic 
        silver medals, and six U.S. National Championships gold medals; and
Whereas Bode Miller's 2004-2005 championship season helped the entire U.S. Ski 
        Team complete its most successful season ever by finishing second in the 
        final 2005 Nations Cup standings: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) congratulates Bode Miller for winning the 2004-2005 
        World Cup overall title in Alpine skiing and establishing 
        himself as the top alpine skier in the world; and
            (2) directs the Secretary of the Senate to make available 
        an enrolled copy of this resolution to Bode Miller.
