                               RESOLUTION


 
 Encouraging more revenue sharing among major league baseball teams as 
                  an alternative to team eliminations.

Whereas there is a proposal to eliminate certain major league baseball 
        franchises, and
Whereas an alternative to eliminating franchises might be to share broadcast 
        revenues on a league-wide basis in a manner similar to revenue-sharing 
        within the National Football League: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, that the House of Representatives urges that before 
November 1, 2002, the owners of major league baseball franchises give 
serious consideration to the increased sharing of broadcast revenues on 
a league-wide basis as an alternative to eliminating franchises by 
reason of their lack of revenue.
