                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of Congress that a commemorative postage stamp 
              should be issued to honor America's barbers.

Whereas the barbering profession has a rich and honorable history and symbolizes 
        the first legalized profession and licensed trade in the United States;
Whereas barber shops were the meeting places of American grassroots before city 
        halls existed, functioning as centers where daily news and small talk 
        were exchanged;
Whereas barber shops have made lasting contributions to our Nation's culture and 
        are located in every community across our great Nation;
Whereas issuing a stamp honoring the barbering profession would commemorate a 
        true American tradition; and
Whereas the National Association of Barber Boards of America has worked for 
        nearly two decades, in hopes of making this stamp a reality: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) a commemorative postage stamp should be issued by the 
        United States Postal Service to honor America's barbers; and
            (2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend 
        to the Postmaster General that such a postage stamp be issued.
