       Whereas today's youth are vital to the preservation of our 
     country and will be the future bearers of the bright torch of 
     democracy;
       Whereas youth need positive direction as they transition 
     into adulthood;
       Whereas the United States needs increased numbers of 
     community volunteers acting as positive influences on the 
     Nation's youth;
       Whereas the Congressional Awards program is committed to 
     recognizing our Nation's most valuable asset, our youth, by 
     encouraging them to set and accomplish goals in the areas of 
     volunteer public service, personal development, physical 
     fitness, and expedition/exploring;
       Whereas more than 14,000 young people have been involved in 
     the Congressional Awards program this year;
       Whereas through the efforts of dedicated advisors across 
     the country this year 176 students earned the Congressional 
     Award Gold Medal; and
       Whereas increased awareness of the program's existence will 
     encourage youth throughout the Nation to become involved with 
     the Congressional Awards: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved,  That the Senate--
