                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the great contributions to American society by Indian-
  American communities and the graduates of the Indian Institutes of 
                    Technology in the United States.

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
    Resolved, 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.
