                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the Congress that a series of commemorative 
postage stamps should be issued honoring veterans service organizations 
                       across the United States.

Whereas the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, which was formed by 
        veterans of the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection to 
        help secure rights and benefits for their service, celebrates its 100th 
        anniversary in 1999;
Whereas American service personnel have fought, bled, and died in every war, 
        conflict, police action, and military intervention in which the United 
        States has engaged during this century;
Whereas over history, veterans service organizations have ably represented the 
        interests of veterans in Congress and State legislatures across the 
        Nation, and established networks of trained service officers who, at no 
        charge, have helped millions of veterans and their families secure the 
        education, disability compensation, and health care benefits they are 
        rightfully entitled to receive as a result of the military service 
        performed by those veterans; and
Whereas veterans service organizations have been deeply involved in countless 
        local community service projects and have been constant reminders of the 
        American ideals of duty, honor, and national service: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That--
            (1) the United States Postal Service should issue a series 
        of commemorative postage stamps in 1999 honoring the legacy and 
        the continuing contributions of veterans service organizations 
        to America; and
            (2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend 
        to the Postmaster General that such a series of commemorative 
        postage stamps be issued.
