On the recordDecember 15, 2000

I have been delighted to meet over the past several weeks with proponents of this resolution and the movement they represent. Their energy and dedication to the cause of peace is commendable. The idea of an annual meal with someone of another culture is patently a good one. It should lead, of course, to more such meals over the course of a year as people throughout the world get to know fellow-humans of other backgrounds. I hope that Members of our House and of the public will carefully consider the sense of the House and the Senate as expressed in this resolution and if they feel it is appropriate that they will act accordingly. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the Senate concurrent resolution. The Senate concurrent resolution was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
