                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the Congress that the United States Postal 
 Service should issue commemorative postage stamps honoring Americans 
   who distinguished themselves by their service in the armed forces.

Whereas the United States Postal Service honored four distinguished American 
        soldiers when it issued its Distinguished Soldiers commemorative postage 
        stamps on May 3, 2000;
Whereas such stamps not only paid tribute to the patriotism and uncommon valor 
        of those brave soldiers, but also served as a lasting tribute to the men 
        and women of the Army who have dedicated their lives to the defense of 
        our country; and
Whereas it is only fitting that similar recognition be given with respect to the 
        other branches of the armed forces: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) commemorative postage stamps should be issued by the 
        United States Postal Service honoring Americans who 
        distinguished themselves by their service in the Navy, Air 
        Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, respectively; and
            (2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend 
        to the Postmaster General that such stamps be issued.
