Concurrent Resolution

Whereas the Olympic Games further the cause of world peace and
understanding;

Whereas the country hosting the Olympic Games performs an act of
international goodwill;

Whereas if New York City were chosen to host the 2012 Olympic Games
there would be a substantial local, regional, and national economic
impact, which would include 7 years of international sports events,
meetings, and related nationwide tourism activity;

Whereas the Olympic movement celebrates competition, fair play, and the
pursuit of dreams;

Whereas the United States and, in particular, New York City celebrate
these same ideals; and

Whereas New York City has never hosted the Olympic Games: Now,
therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That Congress--
(1) encourages the International Olympic Committee to choose
New York City as the site of the 2012 Olympic Games; and
(2) hopes that the United States will be selected as the host
country of the 2012 Olympic Games, and pledges its cooperation and
support for their successful fulfillment in the highest Olympic
tradition.
