Whereas, the Republic of Poland is a free, democratic, and independent nation with a long and proud history; and
Whereas, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is dedicated to the preservation of freedom and security of its member nations; and
Whereas, the Republic of Poland desires to share in both the benefits and obligations of NATO in pursuing the development, growth, and promotion of democratic institutions and ensuring free-market economic development; and
Whereas, Poland recognizes its responsibilities as a democratic nation and wishes to exercise these responsibilities in concert with members of NATO; and
Whereas, the Republic of Poland desires to become part of NATO's efforts to prevent the extremes of nationalism; and
Whereas, the security of the United States is dependent upon the stability of Central Europe. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, urges the President of the United States and Congress to support the petition of the Republic of Poland for admission to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and further, to support the establishment during 1997 of a timetable for Poland's admission to NATO.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the eight members of South Carolina's Congressional Delegation, all at Washington, D.C.
