Message on Senate action sent to the House.
This resolution congratulates and commends the staff of NASA Langley Research Center on its 90th anniversary. It is a concurrent resolution expressing Congress's recognition and appreciation, not a law. It does not create legal rights, change policy, or require the President's signature.
Concurrent resolutions are adopted by both the House and Senate but are not presented to the President and do not have the force of law.
This concurrent resolution congratulates and commends NASA Langley Research Center on its 90th anniversary (October 26–27, 2007).
It recounts Langley’s historical contributions (Project Mercury, Viking missions, aeronautics advances), economic impacts ($2.3 billion revenue, 21,000 jobs), technology transfer, and ongoing work in aeronautics, space, and climate research.
Concurrent resolutions are ceremonial and do not become statutes; adoption is very likely but it does not become law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative concurrent resolution that clearly states its purpose and uses an appropriate, minimal mechanism (Congressional expression of congratulations) with detail proportionate to its nonbinding, symbolic function.
