Whereas Lake Placid, New York, was the site of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic 
        Games;
Whereas Lake Placid is the only site in North America to have hosted the Winter 
        Olympic Games more than once;
Whereas the 1980 Winter Olympic Games featured one of the greatest triumphs in 
        sports history with the men's United States hockey team victory over the 
        Soviet team in the ``Miracle on Ice'';
Whereas Lake Placid, New York, has a population of under 2,700 residents, yet 
        welcomes over 2.2 million visitors each year;
Whereas the residents of Lake Placid were wonderful ambassadors of the United 
        States for the 1,324 Olympic athletes that participated in the 1932 and 
        1980 Winter Olympic Games;
Whereas the residents of Lake Placid take great pride in their place in Olympic 
        history;
Whereas Lake Placid and the towns of North Elba and Wilmington have world class 
        sports facilities that serve as an excellent training location for 
        athletes and sports enthusiasts;
Whereas Lake Placid is the home of one of the three U.S. Olympic Committee's 
        national training centers;
Whereas Lake Placid continues to successfully host international sports 
        competitions on a regular basis; and
Whereas 2007 marks the 75th anniversary of the 1932 Winter Olympic Games: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates the Village of Lake Placid, New York, as
