Summary
Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the Constitution does not preclude periods of silence in public schools to be used, solely at the discretion of the individual, for prayer or introspection, even if supervised; and (2) public school authorities should recognize the historic importance of religion by encouraging such periods of silence.
