H. CON. RES. 18 
Expressing the sense of Congress that a commemorative postage stamp should 
be issued in honor of George Thomas ‘‘Mickey’’ Leland. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 5, 2007 
Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas submitted the following concurrent resolution; 
which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that a commemorative 
postage stamp should be issued in honor of George 
Thomas ‘‘Mickey’’ Leland. 
Whereas George Thomas Leland (affectionately known as 
‘‘Mickey’’), in the course of his 6 terms as a member of 
the House of Representatives from the State of Texas, 
emerged as a national spokesman regarding the problem 
of hunger in the United States and throughout the world; 
Whereas Mickey Leland was instrumental in establishing the 
Select Committee on Hunger and served as chairman of 
that committee until the time of his death; 
Whereas, in the capacity of chairman of the Select Committee 
on Hunger, Mickey Leland helped generate public aware-
ness of the complex issues relating to the alleviation of

hunger and demonstrated strong personal moral leader-
ship; 
Whereas it was his leadership that guided the Hunger Pre-
vention Act of 1988, which required the Secretary of Ag-
riculture not only to distribute surplus food, but also to 
purchase additional food for future distributions to needy 
households; 
Whereas Mickey Leland brought together entertainment per-
sonalities, religious leaders, and private volunteer agen-
cies to generate public support for the African Famine 
Relief and Recovery Act of 1985, which provided 
$800,000,000 in food and humanitarian relief supplies; 
Whereas the various initiatives brought forth by Mickey Le-
land to eradicate world hunger undoubtedly saved thou-
sands of lives; 
Whereas 2007 marks the 18th anniversary of Mickey Le-
land’s death; 
Whereas Mickey Leland died as he lived: on a mission to 
make a positive difference in this world; and 
Whereas commemorative postage stamps have been commis-
sioned to honor other great leaders in American history: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) a commemorative postage stamp should be 
issued in honor of George Thomas ‘‘Mickey’’ Leland;
