CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Encouraging the International Olympic Committee to select New York City
as the site of the 2012 Olympic Games.

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 in New York City;
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 Senate (the House of Representatives 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.
