H. CON. RES. 222
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a commemorative postage stamp
should be issued in honor of the United States merchant marine.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
June 18, 2003
Mr. Rohrabacher (for himself and Mr. LoBiondo) submitted the following
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
Government Reform
_______________________________________________________________________
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a commemorative postage stamp
should be issued in honor of the United States merchant marine.
Whereas the United States merchant marine has provided critical support to the
Armed Forces of the United States in periods of conflict throughout this
Nation's history;
Whereas the United States merchant marine has performed superbly, whenever and
wherever needed across the globe;
Whereas the S.S. LANE VICTORY was one of the vessels used by the United States
merchant marine to transport equipment, troops, and supplies during
World War II, the Korean conflict, and the Vietnam era;
Whereas the S.S. LANE VICTORY, which stands today as a living museum, was named
for Isaac Lane, an African American who rose from slavery to become a
bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church and who later founded Lane
College in Jackson, Tennessee;
Whereas the profile of the S.S. LANE VICTORY on a commemorative postage stamp
would heighten the Nation's awareness of the many acts of heroism
rendered, and other contributions made, by individuals in the United
States merchant marine; and
Whereas, in 2005, the S.S. LANE VICTORY will have her 60th anniversary and, to
commemorate this event, as well as to celebrate the victorious end of
World War II, will embark on a worldwide goodwill voyage to bring her
bit of history to the children of the world: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) a commemorative postage stamp should be issued by the
United States Postal Service in honor of the United States
merchant marine featuring the S.S. LANE VICTORY; and
(2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend
to the Postmaster General that such a postage stamp be issued.
