                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Recognizing the 30th anniversary of the historic visit of President 
Richard Nixon to China, and commending President George W. Bush for his 
   effort to continue to advance a political, cultural, and economic 
           relationship between the United States and China.

Whereas February 21, 2002, marked the 30th anniversary of the historic visit of 
        President Richard Nixon to China;
Whereas on February 21, 1972, the world watched as Air Force One, a Boeing 707 
        carrying President Richard Nixon, landed in China to inaugurate a new 
        era in relations between the United States and China;
Whereas in that same year, the Civil Aviation Administration of China ordered 10 
        Boeing 707 jet aircraft, marking the resumption of a vibrant trading 
        relationship between the United States and China; and
Whereas the visit of President George W. Bush to China on February 21, 2002, 
        commemorated the importance of the reopening of political and economic 
        ties with China: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) recognizes that the historic visit of President Richard 
        Nixon to China in 1972 provided the foundation for improved 
        relations between the United States and China during the 
        subsequent 3 decades; and
            (2) commends President George W. Bush for his effort to 
        continue to advance a political, cultural, and economic 
        relationship between the United States and China.
                                 &lt;all&gt;
