                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of Congress with respect to information on AIDS 
              and HIV infections, and for other purposes.

Whereas 315,390 cases of AIDS have been documented and more than 194,300 AIDS-
        related deaths have resulted in the United States;
Whereas the AIDS crisis is a national epidemic resulting in at least 40,000 new 
        HIV infections annually in the United States;
Whereas many adults and adolescents are not being provided thorough and easily 
        accessible AIDS education in order to prevent the contraction of the 
        disease; and
Whereas improved education and prevention efforts to adolescents as well as 
        adults have been shown to reduce the likelihood of contracting AIDS: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) all States should provide quality education in school 
        sex education programs respecting--
                    (A) AIDS, and
                    (B) HIV infections,
            (2) the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the 
        Surgeon General should develop guidelines for the prevention of 
        AIDS and HIV infections and should distribute such guidelines 
        for parents and their children,
            (3) the television and motion picture industry should 
        encourage the use of condoms in movies, television shows and 
        public service announcements,
            (4) advertisements for condoms should be encouraged, and
            (5) the National Commission on AIDS should be reinstituted.

                                 <all>
