Recognizing the Civil Air Patrol for 65 years of service to the United 
                                States.

    Whereas the Civil Air Patrol was established on December 1, 1941, 
            in the Office of Civilian Defense;
    Whereas during World War II the volunteer units of the Civil Air 
            Patrol conducted search and rescue missions, provided air 
            transportation for military personnel and cargo, towed 
            targets for the training of Army Air Corps gunners, and 
            patrolled the coasts of the United States searching for 
            enemy submarines;
    Whereas by the end of World War II the Civil Air Patrol had flown 
            more than 500,000 hours, sunk 2 German U-boats, and saved 
            hundreds of crash victims;
    Whereas on July 1, 1946, the Civil Air Patrol was chartered by the 
            United States as a nonprofit, benevolent corporation;
    Whereas on May 26, 1948, the Civil Air Patrol was permanently 
            established as a volunteer auxiliary of the United States 
            Air Force;
    Whereas since 1942 the cadet programs of the Civil Air Patrol have 
            trained more than 750,000 youth, providing them with 
            leadership and life skills;
    Whereas since 1942 the Civil Air Patrol has flown more than 
            1,000,000 hours of search and rescue missions, saving 
            several thousand lives; and
    Whereas since 1951 the aerospace education programs of the Civil 
            Air Patrol have provided training and educational materials 
            to more than 300,000 teachers, who have educated more than 
            8,000,000 students about aerospace: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate recognizes the Civil Air Patrol for 65 
years of service to the United States.
