                         SUBMITTED RESOLUTIONS

                                 ______
                                 

  SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 63--SUPPORTING THE GOALS AND IDEALS OF 
          NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS VOTER REGISTRATION DAY

  Mr. VITTER submitted the following resolution; which was referred to 
the Committee on Rules and Administration:

                            S. Con. Res. 63

       Whereas in order for the Government of the United States to 
     remain of the people, by the people, and for the people, 
     individuals must take advantage of their right to vote;
       Whereas the right to vote is one of the most important 
     rights of a citizen, and every effort should be made to 
     promote voter registration at school so that students may 
     begin participating in the foundation of the Nation's 
     representative democracy;
       Whereas the Legislature of Louisiana voted in 2002 to 
     recognize annually the first Tuesday in May as National High 
     School Seniors Voter Registration Day; and
       Whereas the purpose of National High School Seniors Voter 
     Registration Day is to allow students to register to vote at 
     school to encourage their participation in making democracy 
     work: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That Congress supports the goals and ideals of 
     National High School Seniors Voter Registration Day, and 
     encourages all eligible students to register to vote.
