On the recordApril 12, 1999
Mr. Speaker, House Concurrent Resolution 48 authorizes the use of the Capitol grounds for the Sunrayce '99 solar powered car event scheduled to be held on the Capitol grounds on June 20, 1999. During this event, college women and men who have designed and developed their own solar power cars will begin a five-State run from the Capitol grounds to Orlando, Florida. In addition to highlighting the innovation and ingenuity of design and engineering by the college students, the event will emphasize the power and benefits of solar energy. General Motors, Electronic Data Systems, and the Energy Department are once again cosponsors of the event. The event's sponsors will assume all responsibility for expenses and liabilities related to the event. As with all Capitol event, sales, advertisements, and solicitations are explicitly prohibited on the Capitol grounds for the event. I support House Concurrent Resolution 48 and urge its passage.
