                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
  Designating October 6, 1993, and October 6, 1994, each as ``German-
                            American Day''.

Whereas since the arrival of the first German immigrants to America on October 
        6, 1683, in the area of Germantown, Pennsylvania, German-Americans have 
        made significant contributions to the quality of life in the United 
        States;
Whereas German-Americans are proud of the existing friendship and cooperation 
        between the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States, of which 
        the German-American Friendship Garden in Washington, DC, is evidence;
Whereas German-Americans pledge their unconditional support for further 
        expansion of the existing friendship between Germany and the United 
        States, and will continue to contribute to the culture of the United 
        States, support its government and democratic principles, and will also 
        work to help assure the freedom of all people; and
Whereas the Congress unanimously passed joint resolutions designating October 
        6th of 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990 each as ``German-American Day'': Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That October 6, 1993, and 
October 6, 1994, are each designated as ``German-American Day'', and 
the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
calling on the people of the United States to observe such days with 
appropriate ceremonies and activities.
