                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that an economic recovery program 
   should include expenditures for certain State and local programs.

Whereas the most effective short-term stimulus needed to begin and sustain an 
        economic recovery is increased Federal, State, and local investment;
Whereas programs and services provided by State and local governments have been 
        curtailed due to the recession and Federal cutbacks;
Whereas State and local recreation programs have suffered greater reductions 
        than many other programs and services;
Whereas State and local recreation programs provide opportunity for children, 
        teens, adults, and seniors to grow physically and mentally, to manage 
        stress and maintain health; to find social involvement; to experience 
        nature; and
Whereas spending for rehabilitation and restoration of our State and local 
        recreation facilities, parks, playgrounds, and trails provide employment 
        opportunities in cities, suburbs, and rural areas: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that any economic recovery program 
adopted by the Congress should provide each of the following:
            (1) $60,000,000 for the Urban Parks and Recreation Recovery 
        Program (Public Law 95-625).
            (2) $150,000,000 for the State side of the Land and Water 
        Conservation Fund (Public Law 88-578), title I, ``FINANCIAL 
        ASSISTANCE TO STATES'', section 6(a) for purposes of planning 
        and development.
            (3) $35,000,000 for the American Conservation Corps under 
        the National Commission for National and Community Service 
        (Public Law 101-610).
            (4) $60,000,000 for the Department of the Interior and the 
        Department of Agriculture for the Youth Conservation Corps 
        Program authorized under Public Law 93-408.
