                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
     Expressing the sense of Congress that the July 20, 1999, 30th 
 anniversary of the first lunar landing should be a day of celebration 
      and reflection on the Apollo-11 mission to the Moon and the 
accomplishments of the Apollo program throughout the 1960's and 1970's.

Whereas the Apollo-11 mission successfully landed a manned spacecraft on the 
        Moon on July 20, 1969, marking the first time in history that humans 
        have walked on the surface of the Moon or any other planet;
Whereas the 6 Apollo missions successfully departed Earth aboard a Saturn V 
        Rocket, the largest and most powerful American rocket ever produced, en 
        route to the Moon;
Whereas 12 Americans successfully landed on the surface of the Moon where they 
        performed various experiments and collected samples for study, and 
        planted the flag of the United States of America in the lunar soil 
        achieving a milestone in American and human history;
Whereas the contributions of other Americans who made up the thousands of 
        contractors and Government employees who worked on the Apollo program 
        are recognized; and
Whereas the events of the Apollo missions are examples of the great achievements 
        of the American space program reflecting the explorer's spirit of the 
        American people: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that the 30th anniversary of the first 
lunar landing should be a day of celebration and reflection on the 
Apollo-11 mission to the Moon and the accomplishments of the Apollo 
program throughout the 1960's and 1970's.

            Passed the Senate July 20, 1999.

            Attest:

                                                    GARY SISCO,

                                                             Secretary.
