This resolution recognizes the 40^th anniversary of the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange, the 30^th anniversary of the Future Leaders Exchange, and the 20^th anniversary of the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study.

The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange, between the United States and Germany, offers opportunities to study and/or work abroad for high school students, recent high school graduates with a vocational interest, and young professionals. The Future Leaders Exchange provides scholarships for high school students from Europe and Eurasia to spend an academic year in the United States, living with a family and attending an American high school. The Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study offers opportunities for high school students from countries with significant Muslim populations to study in the United States and for U.S. high school students to study in a number of those countries.

Bill 118 S.Res. 455 is a resolution that acknowledges and celebrates three important youth exchange programs: the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange, the Future Leaders Exchange, and the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study. The resolution recognizes the 40th anniversary of the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange, the 30th anniversary of the Future Leaders Exchange, and the 20th anniversary of the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study.

These exchange programs have played a significant role in fostering cultural understanding and promoting international cooperation among young people from the United States and other countries. The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange program, for example, has allowed American and German students to live and study in each other's countries, building lasting friendships and connections.

The Future Leaders Exchange program has provided opportunities for high school students from countries in Eastern Europe and Eurasia to study in the United States, while the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study program has brought students from predominantly Muslim countries to the US for a year of cultural exchange. The resolution highlights the importance of these programs in promoting peace and understanding among nations, and calls for continued support and funding to ensure their continued success. It also recognizes the dedication and hard work of the students, families, and organizations involved in these exchange programs. Overall, Bill 118 S.Res. 455 serves as a tribute to the impact and success of the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange, the Future Leaders Exchange, and the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study programs in fostering international cooperation and cultural understanding among young people.
