                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that members of the Screen Actors 
 Guild should contribute funds to a private, self-sustaining endowment 
                             for the arts.
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
Whereas the American people provide the motion picture industry with billions of 
        dollars in annual sales receipts;
Whereas on March 27, 1995, the president of the Motion Picture Academy made a 
        worldwide plea for Congress not to cut funding for the National 
        Endowment for the Arts; and
Whereas the National Endowment for the Arts may potentially be privatized 
        through legislative action: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that the Screen Actors Guild 
should request that its members with annual individual incomes over $1 
million place 10 percent of such income in an endowment for the arts to 
be administered by a privatized National Endowment for the Arts when $1 
billion has accumulated in the fund.
