CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a commemorative stamp should
be issued in honor of the centennial anniversary of Rotary
International and its work to eradicate polio.
Whereas Rotary International, founded on February 23, 1905, is a worldwide
organization of business and professional leaders that provides
humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all
vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world;
Whereas approximately 1,200,000 Rotarians belong to more than 31,000 Rotary
clubs located in 166 countries;
Whereas the Movement for Volunteer Community Service, initiated by Rotary, has
been described as one of the major developments of the 20th century, and
provides a formalized spirit of community voluntarism in the United
States;
Whereas Rotarians are committed to the position that their efforts to provide
educational opportunities and to meet basic human needs are essential
steps to greater world understanding, goodwill, and peace;
Whereas Rotary's PolioPlus program to eradicate the dreaded disease of polio
throughout the world has helped to vaccinate more than 2,000,000,000
children against the disease;
Whereas Rotary is the only nongovernmental organization working in partnership
with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention to achieve the goal of the total eradication of
polio by 2005;
Whereas the work of Rotary International in the eradication of polio is one of
the finest humanitarian efforts by a nonprofit organization;
Whereas there are more than 7,500 Rotary clubs in the United States, with nearly
400,000 members, who voluntarily support thousands of humanitarian and
educational projects to benefit our communities; and
Whereas Rotary International will celebrate its centennial anniversary in 2005:
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 in honor
of the centennial anniversary of Rotary International and its
effort to eradicate polio;
(2) the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee of the United
States Postal Service should recommend to the Postmaster
General that such a stamp be issued; and
(3) the Rotary Clubs of the United States are to be
commended for 100 years of volunteer service.
