                               RESOLUTION

 
  Recognizing and honoring the activities of the United States Coast 
  Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland, and the service of members and 
       civilian employees of the Coast Guard during World War II.

Whereas for 95 years, the United States Coast Guard Yard located in Curtis Bay, 
        Maryland, has built a reputation for expert construction and repair of 
        small boats, medium size cutters and buoy tenders, and large cutters;
Whereas through World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era, 
        the United States Coast Guard Yard has been the primary shipyard for the 
        ship-building and repair activities of the Coast Guard;
Whereas employees of the United States Coast Guard Yard have earned numerous 
        honors and awards for their service with the yard, including a Coast 
        Guard Unit Commendation Medal for exceptionally meritorious service, the 
        First Annual Commandant's Quality Award, and, most recently, the 1994 
        Department of Transportation Secretary's Annual Quality Award;
Whereas the history of the United States Coast Guard Yard reflects a spirit and 
        dedication that is indicative of the ``can do'' attitude of the Coast 
        Guard and of the employees of the yard;
Whereas the Coast Guard cutters U.S.C.G.C. Mendota and U.S.C.G.C. Pontchartrain 
        were launched from the United States Coast Guard Yard in 1944;
Whereas the cutters U.S.C.G.C. Mendota and U.S.C.G.C. Pontchartrain were the 
        largest cutters launched from the United States Coast Guard Yard during 
        World War II;
Whereas on April 25, 1994, the United States Coast Guard Yard will sponsor the 
        Coast Guard National World War II Commemoration Celebration the theme of 
        which celebration will be ``The Home Front and Industrial Production''; 
        and
Whereas on that date, the family and friends of employees of the United States 
        Coast Guard Yard will gather to celebrate and honor the successes, 
        sacrifices, and dedication of veterans and former civilian employees of 
        the Coast Guard: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate recognize and honor--
            (1) the service of former members and civilian employees 
        who served aboard the Coast Guard cutters U.S.C.G.C. Mendota 
        and U.S.C.G.C. Pontchartrain during World War II; and
            (2) the contributions made by the past and present 
        employees of the United States Coast Guard Yard located in 
        Curtis Bay, Maryland, to the successful discharge by the Coast 
        Guard of its many duties.
