  ANNIVERSARY AND CELEBRATING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF MONTANA FFA MEMBERS

  Mr. BURNS (for himself and Mr. Baucus) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                               S. Res. 89

       Whereas in 2005, the Montana FFA, chartered in 1930, 
     celebrates its 75th anniversary as a premier student 
     development organization where members gain life and 
     leadership skills;
       Whereas more than 40,000 Montanans have been FFA members;
       Whereas Montana FFA alumni provide outstanding leadership 
     to agriculture and agribusiness at the local, State, and 
     Federal levels;
       Whereas the Montana FFA Association is the largest career 
     and technical student organization in the State, with over 
     2,550 members from 75 chapters;
       Whereas the mission of the FFA is to make a positive 
     difference in the lives of students by developing their 
     potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career 
     success through agriculture education;
       Whereas FFA is an integral component of agriculture 
     education in the public school system; and
       Whereas the National FFA Organization is a federally-
     chartered organization:
       Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) congratulates the Montana FFA on its 75th anniversary; 
     and
       (2) directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit to the 
     Montana FFA an enrolled copy of this resolution for 
     appropriate display.
