CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Whereas on May 25, 1961, the President of the United
States established a goal for the country to land a man
on the Moon and return him safely to Earth before the
end of the decade;
Whereas in furtherance of that goal, 34 American astronauts
flew 27 missions in space;
Whereas in their efforts to achieve that goal, 3 astronauts
died in the tragic Apollo 204 fire on the launch pad and
4 others died in T–38 crashes while in training;
Whereas the goal of the President was achieved on July 20,
1969 when the Lunar Module, Eagle, landed on the sur-
face of the Moon carrying a crew of 2 astronauts;
Whereas a total of 24 American astronauts flew to the vicin-
ity of the Moon and 12 of them landed on and explored
its surface;
•HCON 261 EH
Whereas the successful execution of the program to reach
and explore the Moon was one of the greatest achieve-
ments in the history of mankind;
Whereas the hardware and astronauts involved in the Lunar
program subsequently flew 3 Skylab missions, and 1
international Apollo-Soyuz mission;
Whereas the astronauts who put their lives on the line by fly-
ing in space in the execution of that program are true
national heroes; and
Whereas these astronauts should receive popular recognition
from a grateful Nation for their tremendous achievement:

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
To honor the United States astronauts who flew in space
as a part of the program of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration to reach and explore the
Moon.
Whereas on May 25, 1961, the President of the United

Whereas in their efforts to achieve that goal, 3 astronauts
died in the tragic Apollo 204 fire on the launch pad and
4 others died in T–38 crashes while in training;
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—In developing a 5-year oil 
and gas leasing program, and subject to paragraph 
(2), the Secretary shall determine a domestic stra-
tegic production goal for the development of oil and 
natural gas as a result of that program. Such goal 
shall be— 
‘‘(A) the best estimate of the possible in-
crease in domestic production of oil and natural 
gas from the outer Continental Shelf; 
‘‘(B) focused on meeting domestic demand 
for oil and natural gas and reducing the de-
pendence of the United States on foreign en-
ergy; and 
‘‘(C) focused on the production increases 
achieved by the leasing program at the end of 
the 15-year period beginning on the effective 
date of the program. 
‘‘(2) 2012–2017 PROGRAM
GOAL.—For pur-
poses of the 2012–2017 5-year oil and gas leasing 
program, the production goal referred to in para-
graph (1) shall be an increase by 2027 of—

for which the program applies, to the Committee on 
Natural Resources of the House of Representatives

sources of the Senate on the progress of the pro-
gram in meeting the production goal. The Secretary 
shall identify in the report projections for production 
and any problems with leasing, permitting, or pro-
duction that will prevent meeting the goal.’’.

Whereas that Act required offshore facilities which could pol-
lute navigable waters of the United States to provide
proof of financial responsibility of at least $150,000,000;
Whereas marinas sell gasoline and diesel fuel only, and in fis-
cal year 1993 reported only 64 gasoline and diesel fuel
spills nationwide which resulted in the discharge of a
total of 9,642 gallons of gasoline and fuel oil;
Whereas marinas do not have the capital to self-insure or re-
ceive letters of credit for $150,000,000 and insurance
policies are unavailable to them for that amount; and
Whereas requiring marinas to demonstrate $150,000,000 in
financial responsibility could drive many of them out of
business with subsequent negative impacts on their own-
ers and employees, boaters, and coastal residents: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) marinas should not be treated as offshore
facilities for the purposes of section 1016 of the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2716); and
(2) any regulations under that Act that require
offshore facilities to demonstrate $150,000,000 in fi-
nancial responsibility should not apply to marinas.

Whereas Congress historically has protected religious freedom
of expression even from Government action not intended

Whereas the Supreme Court of the United States has written
that ‘‘the free exercise of religion means, first and fore-
