.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress hereby makes the following findings:
        (1) Congress has authorized 18 commemorative coin programs in 
    the 9 years since 1984.
        (2) There are more meritorious causes, events, and people worthy 
    of commemoration than can be honored with commemorative coinage.
        (3) Commemorative coin legislation has increased at a pace 
    beyond that which the numismatic community can reasonably be 
    expected to absorb.
        (4) It is in the interests of all Members of Congress that a 
    policy be established to control the flow of commemorative coin 
    legislation.
    (b) Declaration.--It is the sense of the Congress that the Committee 
on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs of the House of Representatives 
and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate 
should not report or otherwise clear for consideration by the House of 
Representatives or the Senate legislation providing for more than 2 
commemorative coin programs for any year, unless the committee 
determines, on the basis of a recommendation by the Citizens 
Commemorative Coin Advisory Committee, that extraordinary merit exists 
for an additional commemorative coin program.
