Congratulating the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine 
  for its 150 years of commitment to advancing science and improving 
                                health.

Whereas, on March 12, 1859, the origins of Northwestern University Feinberg 
        School of Medicine began with Drs. Hosmer A. Johnson, Edmund Andrews, 
        Ralph N. Isham, and David Rutter signing an agreement to establish the 
        medical department of Lind University, which provided the first graded 
        curriculum in a United States medical school;
Whereas, on October 9, 1859, the medical school marked its first session;
Whereas, on April 26, 1864, the medical department of Lind University became 
        Chicago Medical College;
Whereas in 1870, Chicago Medical College entered into an agreement with 
        Northwestern University to serve as the University's Department of 
        Medicine;
Whereas in 2002, Northwestern University Board of Trustees renamed the medical 
        school in honor of benefactor Reuben Feinberg;
Whereas the Feinberg School of Medicine is one of the Nation's pre-eminent 
        medical schools, producing the next generation of leaders in medical and 
        related fields through its innovative research and educational programs;
Whereas the Feinberg School of Medicine supports the provision of the highest 
        standard of clinical care by its clinical affiliates for their patients;
Whereas the Feinberg School of Medicine is cited annually by national college 
        rankings as one of the top medical schools for research;
Whereas Feinberg School of Medicine alumni are leaders in their fields;
Whereas the Feinberg School of Medicine is a leader in aligning experts from 
        various disciplines to create a collaborative research enterprise that 
        explores the fertile discovery space between disciplines; and
Whereas Feinberg School of Medicine faculty are nationally and internationally 
        prominent physicians and scientists who have an impact on our most 
        pressing medical and research issues: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
