Whereas the presence of Indian-American residents deeply enriches the United States; Whereas the Indian-American community and the graduates of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) in the United States have made valuable and significant contributions to society across many professions and disciplines; Whereas the United States President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi affirmed a vision of the United States and India as among the closest partners in the world in a joint statement on June 22, 2023; Whereas in that statement the two nations affirmed that technology will play the defining role in deepening the partnership between these two democracies in the 21st century; and Whereas IIT graduates are highly committed and dedicated to research, innovation, and promotion of trade and international cooperation between India and the United States: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives to— (1) recognize the valuable and significant contributions of Indian Americans to American society; (2) honor the technology, scientific, and economic innovation attributable to graduates of the Indian Institutes of Technology; and (3) urge all Americans to recognize the contributions of Indian Americans and to appreciate the role Indian Americans have played in helping to advance and enrich American society.
