                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States Postal Service 
 should issue a commemorative postage stamp honoring Wilt Chamberlain 
and that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend to the 
            Postmaster General that such a stamp be issued.

Whereas Wilt Chamberlain was a professional NBA basketball player for 14 years, 
        playing for the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors, the Philadelphia 
        76ers, and the Los Angeles Lakers;
Whereas in his first NBA season, Wilt Chamberlain was named Rookie of the Year, 
        Most Valuable Player in the NBA All-Star Game, and Most Valuable Player 
        for the regular season;
Whereas Wilt Chamberlain won a total of 4 regular-season Most Valuable Player 
        awards in the NBA (1960, 1966, 1967, 1968);
Whereas Wilt Chamberlain holds a number of NBA records, including top single-
        season scoring average, most regular season rebounds, most rebounds in a 
        single game, top rookie scoring average, and top single season 
        rebounding average; and
Whereas, on March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain became the only NBA player to score 
        100 points in a single game: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States Postal Service should issue a 
        commemorative postage stamp honoring Wilt Chamberlain; and
            (2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend 
        to the Postmaster General that such stamp be issued.
