VIETNAM SETTLEMENT
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, recently the 106th Legislature of the State of Maine passed a resolution in recognition of the Vietnam settlement. On behalf of myself and Senator HATHAWAY, I ask unanimous consent that this joint resolution in recognition of peace with honor in Vietnam be printed in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the joint resolution was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows:
JOINT RESOLUTION IN RECOGNITION OF PEACE WITH HONOR IN VIETNAM
Whereas, the President of the United States has announced the successful negotiated conclusion of the Viet Nam conflict; and
Whereas, the final agreement enabling return of prisoners and troops and establishing peace with honor will be signed on Saturday, January 27, 1973; and
Whereas, the People of Maine share, with their fellow Americans a sense of profound and prayerful thanks that United States military involvement in Viet Nam has been concluded in an honorable manner; now, therefore, be it
Resolved: That We, the Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the One Hundred and Sixth Legislature of the State of Maine, now assembled, take this opportunity to commend the efforts of President Richard M. Nixon, Dr. Henry Kissinger and those in the service of our Federal Government who have successfully secured an honorable end to this conflict and, hopefully, the beginning of a generation of peace throughout the world; and be it further
Resolved: That a copy of this resolution duly authenticated by the Secretary of State be transmitted forthwith by the Secretary of State to the President of the United States, the National Security Advisor to the President and to the Senators and Representatives in Congress from the State of Maine.
