  SENATE RESOLUTION 116--COMMENDING THE LAKOTA AND DAKOTA CODE TALKERS

  Mr. DASCHLE (for himself, Mr. Inouye, Mr. McClain, and Mr. Pressler) 
submitted the following resolution; which was agreed to:

                              S. Res. 116
       Whereas the Lakota and Dakota Code Talkers, Native 
     Americans who were members of the Sioux Nation, worked in 
     radio communications during World War II and used their 
     Lakota and Dakota languages to relay communications;
       Whereas Japanese cryptologists never deciphered the Native 
     American languages that were used as codes during World War 
     II, including the Lakota and Dakota languages; and
       Whereas the Lakota and Dakota Code Talkers deserve to be 
     recognized for their contribution to the successful 
     resolution of the war effort in the Pacific: Now, therefore, 
     be it
       Resolved, That the Senate recognizes and commends the 
     Lakota and Dakota Code Talkers for their invaluable 
     contribution to the successful resolution of World War II.
