                              S. Res. 218

       Whereas the 4-H Youth Development Program celebrates its 
     100th anniversary in 2002;
       Whereas the 4-H Youth Development Program has grown to over 
     5,600,000 annual participants, from 5 to 19 years of age;
       Whereas today's 4-H Club is very diverse, offering 
     agricultural, career development, information technology, and 
     general life skills program;
       Whereas these programs are offered in rural and urban areas 
     throughout the world; and
       Whereas the 4-H Youth Development Program continues to make 
     great contributions toward the development of well-rounded 
     youth: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
         (1) the United States Postal Service should make 
     preparations to issue a commemorative postage stamp 
     recognizing the 4-H Youth Development Program's centennial; 
     and
       (2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend 
     to the Postmaster General that such a postage stamp be issued 
     in 2002.
