                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing the sense of the Congress that official mail sent by 
 Government agencies at taxpayer expense should be subject to certain 
                           uniform standards.

Whereas franked mail sent from within the legislative branch of the Government 
        is subject to strict regulations relating to their content as well as 
        the tracking of expenses associated therewith; and
Whereas the executive branch of the Government, by contrast, is not similarly 
        subject to uniform regulations on the content of taxpayer-financed 
        penalty mail: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that agencies within the executive 
branch of the Government should be required annually to purge their 
mailing lists to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used efficiently, and 
to report on the accuracy of such lists.
