                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 To provide for the issuance of a commemorative postage stamp in honor 
                       of Dr. Alice Stokes Paul.

Whereas Dr. Alice Stokes Paul was one of the key leaders of the American 
        suffrage movement;
Whereas in 1913 Dr. Paul founded the National Woman's Party;
Whereas in 1923 Dr. Paul authored the Equal Rights Amendment and worked 
        tirelessly for its passage for 54 years;
Whereas the massive demonstrations, hunger strikes, and White House pickets Dr. 
        Paul helped organize are credited with the passage of the nineteenth 
        amendment to the United States Constitution, granting American women 
        full voting rights;
Whereas Dr. Paul initiated the inclusion of sexual equality in the United 
        Nations Charter; and
Whereas she is also credited with organizing the coalition which in 1964, 
        successfully added gender rights to title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 
        1964: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That a commemorative postage 
stamp shall be issued by the United States Postal Service to honor Dr. 
Alice Stokes Paul.
