                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of Congress that a commemorative postage stamp 
                  should be issued honoring Bil Keane.

Whereas Bil Keane's first ``Family Circus'' cartoon appeared in nineteen 
        newspapers on February 29, 1960;
Whereas ``Family Circus'' chronicled the lighter and heartfelt moments of family 
        life for over 50 years;
Whereas ``Family Circus'' is the most widely read syndicated panel, appearing in 
        over 1,500 papers around the globe;
Whereas Bil Keane was an active member of the Phoenix, Arizona, community; and
Whereas Bil Keane passed away from heart failure on November 8, 2011, at the age 
        of 89: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the Sense of Congress that--
            (1) a commemorative postage stamp should be issued by the 
        United States Postal Service honoring Bil Keane; and
            (2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend 
        to the Postmaster General that such a stamp be issued.
