                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Celebrating the contributions of the architectural profession during 
                      National Architecture Week.

Whereas the architectural profession has made unique contributions to the 
        history, texture, and quality of life in the United States;
Whereas the beginning of an organized architectural profession in this Nation 
        was signified by the founding of the American Institute of Architects 
        150 years ago;
Whereas today there are approximately 281,000 individuals in the United States 
        who work in the profession of architecture;
Whereas architects express the richness of our Nation's heritage and the 
        vitality of its spirit through the vigilant stewardship of great 
        architectural and historic treasures;
Whereas architects improve the quality of life for all individuals in the United 
        States by combining advances in building technology with design 
        innovation to build healthy, safe, livable, and sustainable buildings 
        and communities; and
Whereas the week beginning with April 8, 2007, has been designated by the 
        American Institute of Architects as ``National Architecture Week'' to 
        bring attention to the importance of the architectural profession to the 
        Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That it is the sense of Congress that the contributions of the 
architectural profession should be recognized and celebrated during 
``National Architecture Week'', and Congress requests that the 
President issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United 
States and interested organizations to observe such week with 
appropriate ceremonies and activities.
