                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas many States have encouraged and facilitated the creation of senior 
        citizen legislative and advocacy bodies;
Whereas in creating such bodies such States have provided to many older 
        Americans the opportunity to express concerns, promote appropriate 
        interests, and advance the common good by influencing the legislation 
        and actions of State government; and
Whereas a National Silver Haired Congress, with representatives from each State, 
        would provide a national forum for a nonpartisan evaluation of 
        grassroots solutions to concerns shared by an increasing number of older 
        Americans: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Congress hereby recognizes and encourages the convening of an 
annual National Silver Haired Congress in the District of Columbia.

            Passed the Senate August 2, 1996.

            Attest:

                                             KELLY D. JOHNSTON,

                                                             Secretary.
