                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                             March 11, 1993

 Mr. Goodling (for himself and Mr. Traficant) introduced the following

                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
  Designating July 4, 1993, through July 10, 1993, as ``Buy American 
                                Week''.

Whereas July 4, 1776, marks the birth of the United States as an independent 
        country, and July 4, 1993, should mark the beginning of a week 
        celebrating the rebirth of American-made products and services;
Whereas the American entrepreneurial spirit, free enterprise, open competition, 
        and ingenuity have made the United States a global leader in the 
        advancement of technology;
Whereas American workers produce some of the highest quality products and 
        provide some of the highest quality services in the world, and these 
        American-made products are in such high demand that other countries go 
        to extraordinary lengths to emulate them;
Whereas American businesses should rediscover the value of American-made 
        products by investment in American businesses, services, and 
        opportunities, in order to bring about new growth in jobs for American 
        workers; and
Whereas American consumers should help to celebrate the quality of products and 
        services provided by American businesses by purchasing genuine ``Made in 
        the USA'' products during the week beginning July 4, 1993: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That July 4, 1993, through 
July 10, 1993, is designated as ``Buy American Week''. The President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate 
ceremonies and activities.
