   INTRODUCTION OF BIRTHDAY RESOLUTION FOR WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 29, 2006

  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, today, along with my friend and colleague 
from New York, Representative Nita Lowey, I am introducing a resolution 
to recognize President Clinton's 60th birthday which will occur this 
August 19th. President Clinton has had a long and distinguished career 
in public service including serving as Governor of Arkansas and 
President of the United States. During Clinton's two terms in the White 
House, this country experienced unprecedented economic expansion 
including the creation of 22 million jobs. He worked with our NATO 
allies to end the ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, and he played a 
major role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland. Since leaving office 
in 2001, President Clinton has continued to devote himself to helping 
people around the world through the Clinton Foundation. It is because 
of his commitment to not only the American people, but to the people of 
the world that I am honored today to recognize President Clinton's 
birthday and I urge my colleagues to support this resolution.
