                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the Congress that student travel is a vital 
                 component of the educational process.

Whereas travel is a vital component of the educational experience for Americans 
        of all ages;
Whereas the area of Washington, D.C., is rich in American history and is visited 
        by students from across the Nation;
Whereas many school boards across the Nation are reluctant to approve student 
        trips to Washington, D.C., and other historic areas due to the attacks 
        on the World Trade Center, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania and the 
        fear of additional attacks;
Whereas many students in the United States will not be able to experience 
        landmarks and monuments celebrating the Nation's democracy, political 
        figures, and scientific achievement;
Whereas the absence of student travel to the Nation's historic sites will leave 
        a vital gap in the education of America's youth; and
Whereas America's youth must be cognizant of American history to understand 
        fully the concepts and responsibilities of democracy and citizenship: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that student travel is a vital 
component of the educational process and should be encouraged so that 
Americans, young and old, can participate in travel, the perfect 
freedom.
