                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
      Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the constitution of the 
                      Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Whereas on July 3, 1952, the President signed Public Law 82-447 (66 Stat. 327), 
        approving the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;
Whereas on July 10, 1952, the Constitutional Convention of Puerto Rico 
        reconvened and approved the conditions established by Public Law 82-447;
Whereas on July 25, 1952, Governor Luis Munoz Marin proclaimed that the 
        constitution was in effect;
Whereas the United States citizens of Puerto Rico have proudly fulfilled their 
        duties to this great Nation, and some have made the ultimate sacrifice 
        in defense of democracy, freedom, and the United States Constitution 
        since World War I; and
Whereas the cultural diversity of the United States has been enriched by the 
        people of Puerto Rico who have preserved and promoted their culture, 
        language, and identity: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Constitution 
of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
            Amend the title to read: ``Concurrent resolution 
        celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Constitution of the 
        Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.''.
