                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Providing for marking the celebration of Jerusalem on the occasion of 
                        its 3000th Anniversary.

Whereas the Senate wishes to mark the 3000th anniversary of King David's 
        establishment of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel;
Whereas Jerusalem, the City of David, has been the focal point of Jewish life;
Whereas Jerusalem, the City of Peace, has held a unique place and exerted a 
        unique influence on the moral development of Western Civilization; and
Whereas no other city on Earth is today the capital of the same country, 
        inhabited by the same people, speaking the same language, and 
        worshipping the same God as it was 3000 years ago: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
The architect is directed to make the necessary arrangements for a date 
in October to be mutually agreed upon by the Speaker of the House and 
the majority leader of the Senate, after consultation with the minority 
leaders of the two Houses, for the use of the Rotunda for a celebration 
of the founding of the city of Jerusalem.
