A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that any public rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" should be performed as written by Francis Scott Key, in English.

This non-binding Senate resolution expresses the chamber's view that public performances of "The Star-Spangled Banner" should use the original English lyrics written by Francis Scott Key in 1814, as designated by Congress in 1931. It directly affects performers and event organizers at public gatherings, such as sporting events or ceremonies, by encouraging them to present the anthem in its historically composed English form. The resolution emphasizes preserving the anthem's original language to honor its historical context and unifying significance for the United States. It does not create new legal requirements but seeks to promote adherence to the anthem's traditional presentation.
