This resolution recognizes the 80th anniversary of the Fulbright Program, which was established in 1946 by Senator James William Fulbright to promote international goodwill through educational and cultural exchanges. The Fulbright Program, administered by the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, currently provides approximately 9,000 grants annually and operates in more than 160 countries around the world. The resolution celebrates the program's significant accomplishments, noting that over 450,000 people have participated and that Fulbright alumni include 63 Nobel Prize winners, 94 Pulitzer Prize recipients, and numerous world leaders. The House resolution calls on Congress to continue supporting the Fulbright Program and other educational initiatives as tools for advancing U.S. foreign policy and national security through building international relationships and understanding.
