                               RESOLUTION


 
      Declaring September 26, 1997, as ``Austrian-American Day''.

Whereas 1997 marks the 50th anniversary of General George C. Marshall's plan for 
        assisting the free countries of Europe in their post-World War II 
        rebuilding process;
Whereas on September 26, 1945, upon the insistence of the United States, a 
        conference was held in Vienna by the Allies and the 9 Austrian Federal 
        State Governors, that laid the foundation for the first post-war 
        Austrian government recognized by the United States and the other Allied 
        Forces;
Whereas this treaty saved Austria from being divided into an East and West, as 
        in Germany;
Whereas Austrians are thankful for the generosity demonstrated by the citizens 
        and the Government of the United States after World War II;
Whereas Austrian-Americans have made important contributions to the American way 
        of life as well as in industry, education, culture, and the arts and 
        sciences; and
Whereas Austrian born Americans, or Americans of Austrian descent, have brought 
        prestige and recognition to the United States as Nobel laureates in 
        medicine, economics, and the sciences: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) declares September 26, 1997, as ``Austrian-American 
        Day''; and
            (2) authorizes and requests the President to commend this 
        observance to the citizens of the United States in honor of 
        this momentous occasion.
