   INTRODUCTION OF BIRTHDAY RESOLUTION FOR WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 18, 2007

  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, today, along with my friend 
and colleague from New York, Representative Nita Lowey, I am 
introducing a resolution to recognize President Clinton's 61st 
birthday, which we will celebrate 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 played a fundamental role in bringing peace to Northern 
Ireland. Since leaving office in 2001, President Clinton has continued 
to dedicate his life to public service through the Clinton Foundation, 
which serves to strengthen the capacity of people throughout the world 
to meet the challenges of global interdependence. Notably, the Clinton 
Foundation has worked to make HIV/AIDS medication more accessible in 
poor and middle income countries and develop sustainable economic 
growth in Africa. Most recently, President Clinton launched the Clinton 
Climate Initiative (CCI) to help in the fight against global climate 
change.
  I am honored today to recognize President Clinton's birthday as he 
has dedicated and continues to dedicate his life to serving the 
American people and noble causes around the world. I urge my colleagues 
to support this resolution.
