 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 the United 
        States 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 the 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 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 
        United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That--
            (1) it is the sense of the Congress that the contributions 
        of the architectural profession should be recognized and 
        celebrated during ``National Architecture Week''; and
            (2) the Congress encourages the people of the United States 
        and interested organizations to observe ``National Architecture 
        Week'' with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
