                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of Congress that a commemorative postage stamp 
               should be issued in honor of Helen Hayes.

Whereas Helen Hayes was one of the most well-known figures in the entertainment 
        field, with a career that spanned 80 years and 9 decades;
Whereas Helen Hayes is 1 of only 2 women to have received all 4 prestigious 
        entertainment awards: 2 Tonys, 2 Oscars, an Emmy, and a Grammy;
Whereas Helen Hayes is considered the ``First Lady of the American Theater''; 
        and
Whereas Helen Hayes, while known mostly for her entertainment personality, also 
        contributed greatly to the United States and the world through her 
        philanthropic efforts: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a commemorative postage stamp should be issued in honor 
        of Helen Hayes; and
            (2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee of the United 
        States Postal Service should recommend to the Postmaster 
        General that such a stamp be issued.
