                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Declaring the sense of Congress regarding periods of silence in the 
                            public schools.

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Constitution of the United States does not preclude 
        a short period of silence to be used, solely at the discretion 
        of the individual student in public schools, for silent prayer, 
        meditation, contemplation, or introspection;
            (2) public school authorities should recognize the value of 
        such a short period of silence to be used at the discretion of 
        the individual student in public schools, for silent prayer, 
        meditation, contemplation, or introspection.

                                 <all>
