SENATE RESOLUTION 184--EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE 
       USE OF CONTENT LABELING FOR INTERNET WEB SITES OF SENATORS

  Mrs. LINCOLN (for herself, Mr. Allen, Mr. Conrad, Mr. Brownback, Ms. 
Landrieu, and Mr. Ensign) submitted the following resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration:

                              S. Res. 184

       Whereas Internet content labeling and filtering tools are 
     valuable resources for safe use of the Internet by children; 
     and
       Whereas it is in the public interest that Senators 
     configure their Internet web sites in a manner consistent 
     with such tools in order to make the Internet safer for 
     children while protecting freedom of expression: Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that each 
     Senator should provide for the labeling of the content of the 
     Internet web site of such Senator in a manner consistent with 
     the labeling system utilized by the Internet Content Rating 
     Association (ICRA) and other recognized voluntary Internet 
     content filtering organizations.
