                       One Hundred Eighth Congress

                                 of the

                        United States of America


                          AT THE SECOND SESSION

                          Concurrent Resolution

Whereas the Olympic Games further the cause of world peace and 
  understanding;

Whereas the country hosting the Olympic Games performs an act of 
  international goodwill;

Whereas if New York City were chosen to host the 2012 Olympic Games 
  there would be a substantial local, regional, and national economic 
  impact, which would include 7 years of international sports events, 
  meetings, and related nationwide tourism activity;

Whereas the Olympic movement celebrates competition, fair play, and the 
  pursuit of dreams;

Whereas the United States and, in particular, New York City celebrate 
  these same ideals; and

Whereas New York City has never hosted the Olympic Games: Now, 
  therefore, be it

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
        (1) encourages the International Olympic Committee to choose 
    New York City as the site of the 2012 Olympic Games; and
        (2) hopes that the United States will be selected as the host 
    country of the 2012 Olympic Games, and pledges its cooperation and 
    support for their successful fulfillment in the highest Olympic 
    tradition.
  Attest:

                                 Clerk of the House of Representatives.
