                          Concurrent Resolution

Whereas the United States established diplomatic relations with Romania 
  in June 1880;

Whereas the United States and Romania are two countries united by 
  shared values and a strong commitment to freedom, democracy, and 
  prosperity;

Whereas Romania has shown, for the past 20 years, remarkable leadership 
  in advancing security and democratic principles in Eastern Europe, 
  the Western Balkans, and the Black Sea region, and has amply 
  participated to the forging of a wider Europe, whole and free;

Whereas Romania's commitment to meeting the greatest responsibilities 
  and challenges of the 21st century is and has been reflected by its 
  contribution to the international efforts of stabilization in 
  Afghanistan and Iraq, its decision to participate in the United 
  States missile defense system in Europe, its leadership in regional 
  nonproliferation and arms control, its active pursuit of energy 
  security solutions for South Eastern Europe, and its substantial role 
  in shaping a strong and effective North Atlantic Alliance;

Whereas the strategic partnership that exists between the United States 
  and Romania has greatly advanced the common interests of the United 
  States and Romania in promoting transatlantic and regional security 
  and free market opportunities, and should continue to provide for 
  more economic and cultural exchanges, trade and investment, and 
  people-to-people contacts between the United States and Romania;

Whereas the talent, energy, and creativity of the Romanian people have 
  nurtured a vibrant society and nation, embracing entrepreneurship, 
  technological advance and innovation, and rooted deeply in the 
  respect for education, culture, and international cooperation; and

Whereas Romanian Americans have contributed greatly to the history and 
  development of the United States, and their rich cultural heritage 
  and commitment to furthering close relations between Romania and the 
  United States should be properly recognized and praised: Now, 
  therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress--
        (1) celebrates the 130th anniversary of United States-Romanian 
    diplomatic relations;
        (2) congratulates the Romanian people on their achievements as 
    a great nation; and
        (3) reaffirms the deep bonds of trust and values between the 
    United States and Romania.
