•HRES 32 IH 
Whereas the holiday of Diwali is observed in America, and 
across the globe, by Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Jains, 
and Buddhists; 
Whereas as one of the world’s oldest religious holidays, 
Diwali serves not only as a time for celebration, but also 
as a time for communities and families to come together 
in spiritual enlightenment; 
Whereas the practice of Diwali has survived political, eco-
nomic and social changes throughout history, while al-
ways carrying the universal symbolism of the victory of 
light, goodness, knowledge, and truth; 
Whereas the United States Postal Service, through the deci-
sions of the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, has 
issued stamps for other popular holidays in the United 
States, including Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and 
Eid; 
Whereas the United States Postal Service is yet to issue a 
stamp in honor of the holiday of Diwali; and 
Whereas issuing a postage stamp honoring the holiday of 
Diwali is fitting and proper: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) the United States Postal Service should 
issue a postage stamp honoring the holiday of 
Diwali; and 
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee 
should recommend to the Postmaster General that 
such a stamp be issued.
