H.Res. 1107 would resolve that the House of Representatives:
• "Extends warm congratulations and best wishes to the people of Greece as they celebrate the 189th anniversary of the independence of Greece;
• "Expresses support for the principles of democratic governance to which the people of Greece are committed; and
• "Notes the important role that Greece has played in the wider European region and in the community of nations since gaining its independence 189 years ago."
