           DIGEST  :    This resolution honors Norways 200th Constitution.

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:

          1. Norways Constitution Day, which is celebrated on May 17,  
             commemorates the date when the nation's constitution was  
             signed on May 17, 1814.

          2. The Norwegian Parliament held the first May 17 celebrations  
             in 1836.  From that point onwards, it was regarded as the  
             national day.  Constitution Day celebrations follow a  
             traditional pattern of parades within the local community.  

          3. Many Norwegians and people with Norwegian ancestry also  
             celebrate the day in different countries around the world.   
             Celebrations, dinners, and festivals are held in various  
             places across the United States, and supported by  
             organizations, such as Sons of Norway.

          This resolution honors Norways 200th Constitution.
