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 student trips to Washington, D.C., and other historic areas have
decreased 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.

Passed the House of Representatives October 7 (legislative
day, October 6), 2004.

Attest:

JEFF TRANDAHL,

Clerk.
