 Honoring Friendship Force International and recognizing March 1, 2008 
                        as World Friendship Day.

Whereas the nonprofit organization Friendship Force International was founded in 
        Atlanta in 1977 to promote international understanding and good will;
Whereas, since 1977, nearly 1,000,000 individuals all over the world have 
        traveled as Friendship Force Citizen Ambassadors or opened their homes 
        as hosts in order to promote international understanding;
Whereas, today, Friendship Force International has more than 35,000 members in 
        40 States and 58 foreign countries who are building bridges across the 
        cultural barriers that separate people;
Whereas, in order to celebrate on an annual basis its mission to support the 
        cause of peace through international understanding, Friendship Force 
        International has set March 1 of each year as World Friendship Day; and
Whereas Friendship Force International chapters around the world are urging 
        people everywhere to celebrate World Friendship Day on March 1, 2008: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) honors Friendship Force International for promoting 
        international understanding and good will in the world; and
            (2) recognizes the celebration of World Friendship Day on 
        March 1, 2008, and asks people everywhere to mark and celebrate 
        the day appropriately.
