 Recognizing the 300th anniversary of the founding of the city of San 
                            Antonio, Texas.

Whereas the Payaya Indians first made their home in present day San Antonio and 
        played an integral role in its founding and culture;
Whereas, on May 1, 1718, the Mission San Antonio de Valero was established by 
        Father Antonio de San Buenaventura y Olivares;
Whereas since its founding, San Antonio has become the second largest city in 
        Texas with a population of more than 1.5 million people;
Whereas San Antonio has developed into a rich and diverse city steeped in 
        history, as evidenced by its classification as a United Nations 
        Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World 
        Heritage Site;
Whereas San Antonio is known as ``Military City USA,'' home to Joint Base San 
        Antonio, which is made up of Randolph Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston, 
        Lackland Air Force Base, and Camp Bullis, proudly contributing to 
        America's national security and prosperity around the world;
Whereas San Antonio has established itself on the world's stage and enjoys 
        relationships with 11 sister cities throughout the world--in Mexico, 
        Spain, China, South Korea, Japan, India, Namibia, Germany, and Taiwan; 
        and
Whereas the people of San Antonio have made invaluable contributions and 
        achievements in the areas of medicine, art, music, gastronomy, sport, 
        law, education, literature, and government: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the 300th anniversary of the founding of the 
        city of San Antonio, Texas;
            (2) celebrates the contributions San Antonians have made to 
        Texas and the Nation; and
            (3) honors the sacrifices of all those who have made San 
        Antonio, Texas, a world-class city.
