Commending Bob Hope for his dedication and commitment to the Nation.

June 10, 2003

Mr. FRIST submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to

Commending Bob Hope for his dedication and commitment to the Nation.

Whereas Bob Hope is unique in the history of American entertainment and a legend in vaudeville, radio, film, and television;

Whereas Bob Hope is a dedicated patriot whose unselfish and incomparable service to his adopted country inspired him, for more than six decades, from World War II to the Persian Gulf War, to travel around the world to entertain and support American service men and women;

Whereas Bob Hope has personally raised over $1,000,000,000 for United States war relief and over seventy United States charities;

Whereas Bob Hope's lifelong commitment to public service has made him one of the most loved, honored, and esteemed performers in history, and has brought him the admiration and gratitude of millions and the friendship of every President of the United States since Franklin D. Roosevelt;

Whereas Bob Hope, in generous commitment to public service, has donated his personal papers, radio and television programs, scripts, his treasured Joke File and the live appearances he made around the world in support of American Armed Forces to the Library of Congress (the `Library') and the American people;

Whereas Bob and Dolores Hope and their family have established and endowed in the Library a Bob Hope Gallery of American Entertainment--a permanent display of rotating items from the Hope Collection--and has donated a generous gift of $3,500,000 for the preservation of the collection; and

Whereas all Americans have greatly benefited from Bob Hope's generosity, charitable work, and extraordinary creativity: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Senate--

(1) commends Bob Hope for his dedication and commitment to the United States of America;

(2) expresses its sincere gratitude and appreciation for his example of philanthropy and public service to the American people; and
