                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the support of the Congress for the creation of a National 
      Hurricane Museum and Science Center in southwest Louisiana.

Whereas the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road District Board of 
        Commissioners has begun to create and develop a National Hurricane 
        Museum and Science Center in the southwest Louisiana area;
Whereas protecting, preserving and showcasing the intrinsic qualities that make 
        Louisiana a one-of-a-kind experience is the mission of the Creole Nature 
        Trail All-American Road;
Whereas the horrific experience of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and their 
        devastating long-term effects will play a major role in the history of 
        the United States;
Whereas a science center of this caliber will educate, and hopefully motivate, 
        young and old in the fields of meteorology, the environment, sociology, 
        conservation, economics, history, communications, and engineering;
Whereas it is only appropriate that the effects of hurricanes and the rebuilding 
        efforts be captured in a comprehensive center such as a National 
        Hurricane Museum and Science Center to interpret the effects of 
        hurricanes in and outside of Louisiana; and
Whereas it is critical that all Americans can learn from the history of past 
        hurricanes and it is vital that every possible measure be developed in 
        order to implement the necessary procedures to ensure this preservation: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That the Congress supports and encourages the creation of a National 
Hurricane Museum and Science Center in southwest Louisiana.
