  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the San 
Diego State University Institute of World Affairs on occasion of their 
60th anniversary and in recognition of their continuing exemplary work. 
Rather than speak at great length about this fine organization, I'd 
like to submit for the Record the text of a resolution that I had the 
honor of presenting.

       Whereas the San Diego State Institute on World Affairs is 
     celebrating its 60th Anniversary; and
       Whereas the Institute has gained the respect of the 
     international community through its educational achievements 
     and has greatly impacted its campus and community through its 
     outstanding presentation and analysis of important world 
     issues; and
       Whereas the Institute has promoted international 
     involvement and has been an active and prominent advocate of 
     international awareness by bringing to California numerous 
     highly respected ambassadors, Nobel Laureates, United Nations 
     delegates, military and government officials, academics, 
     journalists, scientists, business executives, and other noted 
     experts on international issues; and
       Whereas international issues have become increasingly 
     important, and the knowledge of world affairs is vital to the 
     success and security of our nation and of the international 
     community; and
       Whereas the successful efforts of the San Diego State 
     University Institute on World Affairs have significantly and 
     positively increased the growth of education, awareness, and 
     information about international issues and world affairs; now 
     therefore be it
       Resolved, That Congresswoman Susan A. Davis of the 49th 
     District of California congratulates the San Diego University 
     Institute on World Affairs for sixty years of successfully 
     educating the students, faculty, campus and community of San 
     Diego State University about international issues, world 
     affairs, and their importance to our nation and for its 
     diplomatic achievements as it continues to present highly 
     respected individuals to the university.
