     Congratulating Boys Town on its 90th anniversary celebration.

Whereas on Wednesday, December 12, 2007, Boys Town celebrates the 90th 
        anniversary of the date Father Flanagan founded Boys Town to serve 
        hurting children and their families;
Whereas Father Flanagan's legacy, Boys Town, is a beacon of hope to thousands of 
        young people across the Nation;
Whereas in 2006 nearly 450,000 children and families found help through the Boys 
        Town National Hotline, including 34,000 calls from youth where hotline 
        staff intervened to save a life or provide therapeutic counseling, and 
        nearly 1,000,000 more children were assisted through outreach and 
        training programs;
Whereas Boys Town continues to find new ways to bring healing and hope to more 
        children and families;
Whereas new programs at Boys Town seek to increase the number of children 
        assisted and bring resources and expertise to bear on the problems 
        facing our Nation's children; and
Whereas Boys Town's mission is to change the way America cares for children and 
        families by providing and promoting a continuum of care that strengthens 
        them in mind, body, and spirit: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) expresses its heartfelt congratulations to the Boys 
        Town family on the historic occasion of its 90th anniversary; 
        and
            (2) extends its thanks to the extraordinary Boys Town 
        community for its important work with our Nation's children and 
        families.
