                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Congratulating the Surety and Fidelity Association of America on its 
                           100th anniversary.

Whereas the Surety and Fidelity Association of America (SFAA) was formed in 1908 
        as the Surety Association of America, and is the association of 
        insurance companies that write the vast majority of surety and fidelity 
        bonds in the United States;
Whereas surety and fidelity bonds facilitate commerce, assist in economic 
        development, and protect consumers, taxpayers, and businesses;
Whereas the SFAA has provided assistance to its members in the development of 
        rules, procedures, risk classifications, and loss costs for surety and 
        fidelity bonds;
Whereas the SFAA has provided valuable services to the State insurance 
        regulators in acting as a statistical agent and advisory organization 
        for the States;
Whereas the SFAA has provided valuable services to Federal and State 
        legislatures in providing information and testimony of surety and 
        fidelity issues;
Whereas the SFAA has an active development and diversity function and has 
        implemented its Model Contractor Development Program wherever needed to 
        assist small and emerging contractors in obtaining bonding;
Whereas the SFAA continues to develop and change to meet new issues in the 
        industry; and
Whereas the SFAA has provided outstanding service to the surety and fidelity 
        industry and taken a leadership role in addressing and coordinating 
        industry issues: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress congratulates the Surety and Fidelity Association of 
America on its 100th anniversary.
