       Whereas General Wesley K. Clark has had a long and 
     distinguished military career, which includes graduating 
     first in the class of 1966 from the United States Military 
     Academy at West Point and serving in command positions at 
     every level in the United States Army, culminating in service 
     concurrently in the positions of Supreme Allied Commander, 
     Europe and Commander-in-Chief of the United States European 
     Command;
       Whereas General Clark was integral to the formulation of 
     the Dayton Accords;
       Whereas General Clark most recently distinguished himself 
     by his tireless, resourceful, and successful leadership of 
     the first military action of the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization despite severe constraints; and
       Whereas General Clark's record of exemplary and dedicated 
     service is an example which all military officers should seek 
     to emulate and is deserving of special recognition: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That--
        (1) the United States Senate commends and expresses its 
     gratitude to General Wesley K. Clark, United States Army, for 
     his outstanding record of military service to the United 
     States of America; and
       (2) the Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy of 
     this resolution to General Wesley K. Clark.
