 Mr. INOUYE. Mr. President, today I am introducing a joint 
resolution which calls upon the President to award a Presidential Unit 
Citation to the final crew of the U.S.S. Indianapolis (CA-35) that 
recognizes the courage, fortitude and heroism displayed by the crew in 
the face of tremendous hardship and adversity after their ship was 
torpedoed and sunk on July 30, 1945.
