                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Encouraging the people of the United States to show support for and 
  become active participants in the American Red Cross and its local 
                               chapters.

Whereas locally, nationally, and internationally, the American Red Cross is one 
        of the oldest and most respected organizations;
Whereas the Inland Empire Chapter of the American Red Cross is in its 84th year 
        of service to the City of San Bernardino, California, and its 
        surrounding communities;
Whereas the Inland Empire Chapter, through the assistance of over 400 
        volunteers, provides emergency assistance to disaster victims, responds 
        to the emergency needs of members of the Armed Forces and their 
        families, and certifies more than 12,000 individuals in lifesaving and 
        disaster preparedness courses each year;
Whereas, across the United States, chapters of the American Red Cross are 
        working to increase awareness of the organization in local communities 
        and raise unrestricted funds for local operations; and
Whereas the American Red Cross has asked communities across the United States to 
        celebrate March 2000 as American Red Cross Month: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress encourages the people of the United States to show 
support for and become active participants in the American Red Cross 
and its local chapters.
