Honoring the United States-Mexico Border Health Commission on the 10th 
 anniversary of the full commission establishment and for a decade of 
                       significant contributions.

Whereas, on October 22, 1994, the United States section of the United States-
        Mexico Border Health Commission was established;
Whereas, on July 24, 2000, the agreement between the United States and Mexico 
        established the full United States-Mexico Border Health Commission;
Whereas the mission of the United States-Mexico Border Health Commission is to 
        provide international leadership to optimize health and quality of life 
        along the United States-Mexico border;
Whereas the primary goals of the United States-Mexico Border Health Commission 
        are to institutionalize a domestic focus on border health that can 
        transcend political changes and to create an effective venue for bi-
        national discussions to address the public health issues and problems 
        affecting the United States-Mexico border populations;
Whereas the United States-Mexico Border Health Commission facilitates 
        identification of public health issues, supports studies and research on 
        border health, and brings together effective Federal, State, and local 
        public and private resources by forming dynamic partnerships and 
        alliances to improve the health of the border populations through 
        creative, multi-sectoral approaches; and
Whereas the United States-Mexico Border Health Commission works towards the 
        Millennium Development Goals, particularly to reduce child mortality, 
        improve maternal health, combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases, 
        and to develop a global partnership for development: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the achievements of the United States-Mexico 
        Border Health Commission, which have improved health for the 
        residents of the United States-Mexico border region; and
            (2) recognizes the 10th anniversary of the agreement to 
        establish the full United States-Mexico Border Health 
        Commission.
