                               RESOLUTION


 
   Honoring the deep and enduring friendship between the Kingdom of 
 Denmark and the United States on the occasion of Danish Constitution 
                           Day celebrations.

Whereas Denmark and the United States have enjoyed peaceful, mutually beneficial 
        relations since establishing diplomatic relations in 1801;
Whereas more than 1,000,000 people in the United States claim Danish ancestry;
Whereas Denmark has bravely stood with the United States in nearly every 
        conflict of the last 3 decades, sending troops and forces to fight 
        alongside United States Armed Forces in the 1991 Gulf War, the Balkans 
        conflicts, and in Afghanistan, while dedicating military forces to 
        stabilization and peacekeeping missions in Africa, the Middle East, and 
        around the world;
Whereas Denmark and the United States are bound by a treaty of mutual defense 
        and enjoy intense cooperation on intelligence-sharing, weapons sales, 
        military exercises, and joint basing;
Whereas Denmark is a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
        (NATO)--the backbone of peace and prosperity in North America and Europe 
        for more than 75 years;
Whereas Denmark spends more on national defense than the target objective 
        required by NATO for defense spending as a percentage of gross domestic 
        product;
Whereas Denmark is the seventh largest source of foreign direct investment in 
        the United States, contributing to the creation of approximately 200,000 
        jobs; and
Whereas Denmark was 1 of 8 founding partner-nations of the multinational F-35 
        Lightning II program: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) acknowledges Danish Constitution Day in a spirit of 
        friendship and respect toward the people of Denmark;
            (2) recognizes the deep commitment of the Danish people and 
        government to the friendship and cooperation between Denmark 
        and the United States;
            (3) expresses gratitude for the sacrifices borne in battle 
        by Danish heroes in securing the shared interests of Denmark 
        and the United States; and
            (4) looks toward many more decades of shared prosperity, 
        peace, cooperation, and friendship.
