                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that there should be established a 
``Free Enterprise Education Week'' to encourage schools and businesses 
         to educate students about the free enterprise system.

Whereas the United States values the free enterprise system as the basic 
        economic system in the Nation;
Whereas the Nation's kindergarten, elementary, and secondary education system 
        should strive to educate young Americans about the importance of the 
        Nation's free enterprise system;
Whereas students' understanding of the Nation's free market system is an 
        important part of the Nation's long-term economic growth;
Whereas American companies, student organizations, and teachers are willing and 
        able to participate in educating young people about free markets and 
        opportunities; and
Whereas many organizations, such as Students in Free Enterprise, have developed 
        programs to teach and encourage entrepreneurship among students: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that there should be established a 
``Free Enterprise Education Week'' to encourage schools and businesses 
in the United States to educate students about the free enterprise 
system.
