                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
   To designate the week of June 7, 1993, through June 14, 1993, as 
                  ``National Flag Celebration Week''.

Whereas it is the obligation of each generation of Americans to instruct the 
        next in the significance of our history and of the meaning of and the 
        ideals embodied in our Nation's patriotic symbols;
Whereas the flag of the United States is the principal patriotic symbol of our 
        Nation;
Whereas the citizens of the United States already celebrate the observance of 
        Flag Day on June 14 of each year: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week beginning June 
7, 1993, which culminates with the observance of Flag Day on June 14, 
1993, be declared National Flag Celebration Week, during which the 
Nation's school children would be encouraged to discuss and study our 
flag, and the ideals it represents.
