  HONORING THE CLASS OF 1965 THE FLETCHER SCHOOL OF LAW AND DIPLOMACY

 Mr. REID. Mr. President, the Fletcher School of Law & 
Diplomacy was created in 1933, to be administered jointly by Tufts 
University and Harvard University, to offer a broad program of 
professional education in international affairs to a select group of 
graduate students, who desired to pursue careers in the U.S. State 
Department, the United Nations, and other public and private entities, 
organizations, and agencies that are involved in various aspects of 
international affairs: and
  The Class of 1965 of said Fletcher School is celebrating its 35th 
reunion on August 19, 2000, to commemorate the achievements of members 
of that class. The members of the 1965 class have served with 
distinction in promoting world peace and harmony and working in many 
different places around the world, in a variety of professional, 
business, and public service positions to promote: freedom through 
international cooperation and effective defense policies; prosperity by 
means of international trade; democracy in new and developing nations 
by helping people understand how to build socially responsible 
societies based on democratic principles; and justice through the 
promotion of a better global understanding of the destiny of humankind 
to live in freedom from fear, hunger, want, and disease; and
  Many in the Class of 1965 have served both in the U.S. Foreign 
Service, as well as in various positions in the U.S. Congress; and 
others have served in a variety of capacities in federal and

state agencies, helping the United States to fulfill its role of 
leadership and responsibility in the world community.
  I commend the Class of 1965 for the achievements and contributions 
that its members have made to promote better understanding among the 
people of the world and to bring hope to those who seek a better life 
for all the world's citizens. The United States Senate congratulates 
the class of 1965 of Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy on its 35th 
reunion and conveys best wishes to its members for good health, 
prosperity, and much happiness in the years to come.
