Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York (for herself, Ms. MENG, and Ms.

RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, as an entity 
of the United States Postal Service, should issue a com-
memorative stamp in honor of the holiday of Diwali. 
Whereas Diwali, also referred to as the ‘‘festival of lights’’, 
is an Indian holiday that also marks the beginning of the 
Hindu New Year; 
Whereas Diwali celebrates the triumph of good over evil, the 
awareness of one’s inner light, the dispelling of igno-

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

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

(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee
