Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, traveled to 
the United States for a State Visit from May 3 to May 
8, 2007, celebrating the special relationship that exists 
between the United States and the United Kingdom; 
Whereas the United States and the United Kingdom enjoy a 
trans-Atlantic friendship sustained by a commitment to 
democratic traditions, liberty, and the spread of freedom, 
as well as common economic and cultural foundations; 
Whereas in a rapidly changing world, Queen Elizabeth II has 
been a force of stability and constancy and has provided 
inspiration to the world in times both peaceful and tu-
multuous; and 
Whereas Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip serve as am-
bassadors for the British people and the goodwill engen-
dered by their visit serves as a reminder, for the people 
of the United States and the United Kingdom alike, of 
our joint values and priorities: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives is deeply 
appreciative of the State Visit recently conducted by Her 
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness, Prince
