                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                             March 30, 1993

  Mr. Sundquist (for himself and Mr. Tanner) submitted the following 
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Veterans'

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
To prohibit any political demonstrations on hallowed ground of national 
                              cemeteries.

Whereas Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place for those who 
        have proudly served in defense of their country;
Whereas these honored dead are due the full measure of our Nation's respect and 
        gratitude; and
Whereas it cheapens their service and demeans their memory to make Arlington 
        National Cemetery a prop for political demonstrations: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Arlington National Cemetery be placed permanently off-limits for 
political demonstrations and displays, and that the grounds of 
Arlington National Cemetery be closed to those who would use the 
grounds as a backdrop for protest.
