 SENATE RESOLUTION 577--DESIGNATING SEPTEMBER 24, 2006, AS ``NATIONAL 
                          GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY''

  Mr. BAUCUS (for himself, Mr. Burns, and Mr. Byrd) submitted the 
following resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 577

       Whereas our society has developed highly effective means of 
     speedy communication around the world, but has failed to 
     ensure meaningful communication among people living across 
     the globe, or even across the street, from one another;
       Whereas the endurance of human values and consideration for 
     others are critical to the survival of civilization; and
       Whereas being good neighbors to those around us is the 
     first step toward human understanding: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) designates September 24, 2006, as ``National Good 
     Neighbor Day''; and
       (2) calls on the people of the United States and interested 
     groups and organizations to observe National Good Neighbor 
     Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
