                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing gratitude to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal 
 Highness, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, for their State Visit to 
 the United States and reaffirming the friendship that exists between 
               the United States and the United Kingdom.

Whereas Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness Prince Philip, 
        Duke of Edinburgh, traveled to the United States for a State Visit from 
        May 3 to May 8, 2007, celebrating the special relationship that exists 
        between the United States and the United Kingdom;
Whereas the United States and the United Kingdom enjoy a trans-Atlantic 
        friendship sustained by a commitment to democratic traditions, liberty, 
        and the spread of freedom, as well as common economic and cultural 
        foundations;
Whereas in a rapidly changing world, Queen Elizabeth II has been a force of 
        stability and constancy and has provided inspiration to the world in 
        times both peaceful and tumultuous;
Whereas Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip serve as ambassadors for the 
        British people and the goodwill engendered by their visit serves as a 
        reminder, for the people of the United States and the United Kingdom 
        alike, of our joint values and priorities;
Whereas the United Kingdom, like the United States, has suffered loss of life on 
        its own shores from terrorist elements; and
Whereas thousands of British troops today fight side-by-side with United States 
        forces on the War on Terror's most dangerous battlefields: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives is deeply appreciative 
of the State Visit recently conducted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 
and His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and 
celebrates the State Visit as having been an occasion to reaffirm the 
value and depth of the friendship that exists between the United States 
and the United Kingdom.
