                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Permitting the use of the rotunda of the Capitol for a ceremony to 
    award the Congressional Award Gold Medal to national recipients.

Whereas today's youth are vital to the preservation of our country and will be 
        the future bearers of the bright torch of democracy;
Whereas youth need positive direction as they transition into adulthood;
Whereas the United States needs increased numbers of community volunteers acting 
        as positive influences on the Nation's youth;
Whereas the Congressional Awards program is committed to recognizing our 
        Nation's most valuable asset, our youth, by encouraging them to set and 
        accomplish goals in the areas of volunteer public service, personal 
        development, physical fitness, and expedition/exploring;
Whereas more than 21,000 young people have been involved in the Congressional 
        Awards program this year;
Whereas through the efforts of dedicated advisors across the country, this year 
        238 students earned the Congressional Award Gold Medal; and
Whereas increased awareness of the program's existence will encourage youth 
        throughout the Nation to become involved with the Congressional Awards: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the rotunda of the Capitol is authorized to be used on June 22, 
2005, for a ceremony to award Congressional Award Gold Medals to 
national recipients. Physical preparation for the ceremony shall be 
carried out in accordance with such conditions as the Architect of the 
Capitol may prescribe.
