                    NATIONAL SILVER HAIRED CONGRESS

  The text of the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 66) to recognize 
and encourage the convening of a National Silver Haired Congress, as 
agreed to by the Senate on October 6, 1994, is as follows:

                            S. Con. Res. 66

       Whereas many States have encouraged and facilitated the 
     creation of senior citizen legislation and advocacy bodies;
       Whereas in creating such bodies such States have provided 
     to many older Americans the opportunity to express concerns, 
     promote appropriate interests, and advance the common good by 
     influencing the legislation and actions of State government; 
     and
       Whereas a National Silver Haired Congress, with 
     representatives from each State, would provide a national 
     forum for a nonpartisan evaluation of grassroots solutions to 
     concerns shared by an increasing number of older Americans: 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That the Congress hereby recognizes and 
     encourages the convening of an annual National Silver Haired 
     Congress in the District of Columbia.
