Whereas on November 16, 1907, Oklahoma officially became the 46th State of the 
        Union;
Whereas prior to becoming a State, Oklahoma was designated as Indian Territory, 
        providing a vibrant history and culture that continues to enrich the 
        lives of its citizens;
Whereas the State of Oklahoma was shaped by those adventurous and daring 
        individuals who embraced the spirit of this great Nation as they opened 
        the frontier of the American West;
Whereas generations of proud people from all backgrounds have called Oklahoma 
        their home and have contributed to its spirited history;
Whereas these hearty and resilient people have defined what has come to be known 
        as the spirit of Oklahoma through their strength, character, and 
        persistent strides toward a bright future;
Whereas the continued strength, initiative, and pursuit of excellence displayed 
        by the citizens of the State of Oklahoma have produced its vibrant 
        economy and secured it as a place of opportunity and progress now and 
        for future generations;
Whereas the solid foundation of family and community embraced by the citizens of 
        Oklahoma has been a constant guide and source of strength to those 
        citizens throughout its history and will remain so long into its future;
Whereas the natural beauty and abundant resources of the State of Oklahoma 
        support a quality of life for its citizens that is unsurpassed; and
Whereas on November 16, 2007, the State of Oklahoma will begin a new century of 
        statehood: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress recognizes and celebrates the centennial of Oklahoma 
statehood and wishes its people another hundred years of continued 
growth, prosperity, and achievement.

            Passed the House of Representatives December 17, 2007.
