                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas individuals from Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, American 
        Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands have contributed to many 
        aspects of the history and culture of the United States, including its 
        politics, athletics, and music;
Whereas many students do not know the location or the significance of these 
        places;
Whereas the diversity of the citizens of the United States strengthens the 
        Nation, and individuals from the territories of the United States 
        contribute to that diversity; and
Whereas it is important for students to study the history of these geographic 
        areas as part of United States history: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that children in the United States 
should understand and appreciate the contributions of individuals from 
Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, 
and the Northern Mariana Islands and the contributions of such 
individuals in United States history.

            Passed the House of Representatives June 23, 2008.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
