                         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.

            Passed the Senate June 30, 2010.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
