                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of Congress that the leaders of Congress and other 
   legislative branch offices should work together to establish and 
     implement a coordinated program for the reuse, recycling, and 
    appropriate disposal of obsolete computers and other electronic 
          equipment used by offices of the legislative branch.

Whereas electronic waste (or ``e-waste'') that is generated from obsolete 
        computers and other electronic equipment is rapidly becoming a serious 
        concern to State and local governments;
Whereas e-waste has become one of the fastest growing sectors in the solid waste 
        stream; and
Whereas Congress should lead by example to address this growing problem: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that the leaders of the House of 
Representatives, the Senate, and other legislative branch offices 
should work together to establish and implement a coordinated program 
for the reuse, recycling, and appropriate disposal of obsolete 
computers and other electronic equipment used by offices of the 
legislative branch.
