resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 164

       Whereas on August 14, 1945 the Japanese government accepted 
     the Allied terms of surrender:
       Whereas the formal documents of surrender were signed on 
     September 2, 1945, thereby ending World War II;
       Whereas 50 years have now passed since those events;
       Whereas, the courage and sacrifice of the American fighting 
     men and women who served with distinction in the Pacific and 
     Asian theaters should always be remembered; now, therefore, 
     be it
       Resolved, The United States Senate joins with a grateful 
     nation in expressing our respect and appreciation to the men 
     and women who served in World War II, and their families. 
     Further, we remember and pay tribute to those Americans who 
     made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their life for their 
     country.
