                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 To recognize and encourage the convening of a National Silver Haired 
                               Congress.

Whereas many States have encouraged and facilitated the creation of senior 
        citizen legislative and advocacy bodies;
Whereas in creating such bodies these States have provided many older Americans 
        the opportunity to express concerns, promote appropriate interests, and 
        advance the common good by influencing legislation and actions of State 
        government; and
Whereas a National Silver Haired Congress, with representatives from each State, 
        would provide a national forum for a nonpartisan evaluation of 
        grassroots solutions to concerns shared by an increasing number of older 
        Americans: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress hereby recognizes and encourages the convening of an 
annual National Silver Haired Congress in the City of Washington, 
District of Columbia.
