Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution expresses the view of the House of Representatives that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee and the United States Postal Service should issue a commemorative stamp honoring Lieutenant Colonel Charity Adams Earley. It does not create a law or require the Postal Service to act; instead it asks the advisory committee to recommend a stamp to the Postmaster General. The Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee is an advisory body within the Postal Service that reviews and recommends subjects for stamps, and the Postmaster General makes the final decision.
This is a simple resolution acted on only by the House of Representatives; it does not become law and is not sent to the President. Passage requires a majority vote in the House and there are no special Senate procedures because the Senate is not involved.
This House resolution expresses the sense of the House that the United States Postal Service should issue a postage stamp honoring Lieutenant Colonel Charity Adams Earley, and urges the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend such a stamp to the Postmaster General.
The resolution reviews Earley’s biography and service, including her command of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion and later civic work.
The resolution is non-binding and asks the advisory committee to consider recommending the commemorative stamp.
