Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution expresses the sense of Congress that a commemorative postage stamp should honor the USS New Jersey and those who served on her. It asks the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend such a stamp to the Postmaster General and requests the United States Postal Service to issue it. As a concurrent resolution, it states Congress's view but does not create a binding legal requirement or compel the Postal Service to act.
Concurrent resolutions must be agreed to by both the House and the Senate but are not presented to the President and do not have the force of law. This measure is a nonbinding expression of opinion requesting action by the Postal Service and its advisory committee.
