it provides to the Nation. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. GOODLATTE (for himself, Mr. STENHOLM, Mr. LUCAS of Oklahoma, and 
Mr. HOLDEN) introduced the following joint resolution; which was re-
ferred to the Committee on Agriculture 
JOINT RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the Agricultural Research Service of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture on the occasion of its 50th anniver-
sary for the important service it provides to the Nation.
Whereas the Agricultural Research Service is the primary re-
search agency of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) 
and provides the USDA and other Federal offices with 
objective research which is critical to their missions; 
Whereas the agricultural research conducted by the Agricul-
tural Research Service has an enormous impact on the 
economic viability of agriculture in the United States and 
around the world; 
Whereas people around the world, especially rural Americans, 
enjoy a higher quality of life due in part to the work of
•HJ 74 IH 
the Agricultural Research Service to expand scientific 
knowledge; 
Whereas the Agricultural Research Service has achieved 
major scientific breakthroughs that have benefited farm-
ers, ranchers, agribusiness, and consumers; 
Whereas the Agricultural Research Service has made sci-
entific discoveries and technological developments ad-
dressing agricultural problems of broad scope and high 
national priority, ensuring safe and high quality food and 
other agricultural products that meet nutritional needs, 
and maintaining a quality environment and natural re-
source base; and 
Whereas the Agricultural Research Service continues to play 
a vital role in maintaining the global competitiveness and 
leadership of the United States in the next millennium: 
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
That Congress—
(1) recognizes the Agricultural Research Service 
of the Department of Agriculture for its 50 years of 
outstanding service in agricultural research; and 
(2) acknowledges the promise of the Agricul-
tural Research Service as it moves into its next 50 
years of service and beyond.
