                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
To commend the Library of Congress for 200 years of outstanding service 
to Congress and the Nation, and to encourage activities to commemorate 
        the bicentennial anniversary of the Library of Congress.

Whereas the Library of Congress was established in 1800 and will celebrate the 
        200th anniversary of the Library of Congress in 2000;
Whereas the goal of the bicentennial commemoration is to inspire creativity in 
        the century ahead and ensure a free society through greater use of the 
        Library of Congress and libraries everywhere;
Whereas the bicentennial goal will be achieved through a variety of national, 
        State, and local projects, developed in collaboration with the offices 
        of the Members of Congress, the staff of the Library of Congress, and 
        special advisory committees; and
Whereas the bicentennial commemorative activities include significant 
        acquisitions, symposia, exhibits, issuance of a commemorative coin, and 
        enhanced public access to the collections of the Library of Congress 
        through the National Digital Library: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress commends the Library of Congress on 200 years of service 
to Congress and the Nation, and encourages the American public to 
participate in activities to commemorate the bicentennial anniversary 
of the Library of Congress.
