Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution expresses the sense of Congress that the Postal Service should issue a commemorative stamp honoring Shirley Chisholm and asks the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend that action to the Postmaster General. It is a formal statement of support from both chambers but does not create a law or force the Postal Service to act. If adopted by both the House and the Senate, it records Congress's view and encourages the committee and Postmaster General to consider the stamp.
Concurrent resolutions must be passed by both the House and the Senate but are not sent to the President and do not have the force of law.
