 SENATE RESOLUTION 308--CONGRATULATING THE INTERNATIONAL HOUSE ON THE 
                    OCCASION OF ITS 75TH ANNIVERSARY

  Mr. GORTON (for himself, Mr. Moynihan, and Mr. Rockefeller) submitted 
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the 
Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 308

       Whereas International House at 500 Riverside Drive, New 
     York City, was founded in 1924 as a residence and program 
     center for graduate students and trainees from all nations;
       Whereas International House was created to allow diverse 
     peoples from around the world the opportunity to live 
     together in a shared cultural and intellectual environment, 
     and enable its residents and members to understand and better 
     appreciate people of divergent backgrounds; and
       Whereas in the last 75 years International House has grown 
     from this fundamental concept to become an internationally 
     recognized institution, serving as a vital resource for the 
     global academic, business, professional, and artistic 
     communities: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate commends International House for 
     its distinguished service to the people of the United States 
     and all citizens of the world in the promotion of global 
     understanding and world peace and extends congratulations to 
     International House on the occasion of its 75th anniversary.
