                         SUBMITTED RESOLUTIONS

                                 ______
                                 

 SENATE RESOLUTION 606--SUPPORTING THE GOALS AND IDEALS OF ``NATIONAL 
              HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS VOTER REGISTRATION DAY''

  Mr. CASSIDY (for himself and Mr. King) submitted the following 
resolution; whom was referred to the Committee on Rul and 
Administration:

                              S. Res. 606

       Whereas in order for the Federal Government 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 representative 
     democracy of the United States;
       Whereas the legislature of Louisiana voted in 2002 to 
     annually recognize the first Tuesday in May as Louisiana 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, That the Senate--
       (1) recognizes the first Tuesday in May as ``National High 
     School Seniors Voter Registration Day''; and
       (2) encourages school districts to--
       (A) register high school seniors of voting age on the first 
     Tuesday in May; and
       (B) encourage students to make a lifelong commitment to 
     civic participation in all areas of society by educating them 
     on the importance of voting.
