                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing support for designation of a ``Frank Sinatra Day'' on May 
13, 2008, in honor of the dedication of the Frank Sinatra commemorative 
                                 stamp.

Whereas over 150 years ago, United States commemorative stamps began honoring 
        the people, places, and events that have shaped our country's history;
Whereas more than 22,000,000 Americans, including children, collect and learn 
        about our country through stamps, making it one of the most popular 
        hobbies in the Nation and the world;
Whereas it is important that we pause to reflect on our Nation's history and 
        culture;
Whereas stamps honor statesmen and soldiers as they fought for freedom and 
        democracy, recognize our scientific and technological achievements, pay 
        tribute to our artistic and cultural legacy, and celebrate the strength 
        of our diversity;
Whereas Frank Sinatra, a monumental figure in American popular culture, has been 
        selected as part of the 2008 commemorative stamp program;
Whereas, on May 14, 1997, the President signed into law legislation to award a 
        Congressional Gold Medal to Frank Sinatra in recognition of his 
        accomplishments as an entertainer and humanitarian; and
Whereas a dedicating ceremony of the Frank Sinatra commemorative stamp will be 
        held in New York, and in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 13, 2008: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the United States House of Representatives expresses 
support for designation of a ``Frank Sinatra Day'' in honor of the 
dedication of the Frank Sinatra commemorative stamp.
