                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
  Designating 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 the fourteenth of each year; and
Whereas Public Law 89-443 did establish on June 9, 1966, that ``the President is 
        authorized and requested to issue annually a proclamation designating 
        the week in which June 14 occurs as National Flag Week, and calling upon 
        all citizens to display the flag of the United States on those days'': 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the President revive this 
custom by declaring the week beginning June 7, 1993, which culminates 
with the observance of Flag Day, on June 14, 1993, to be ``National 
Flag Celebration Week'', during which citizens, especially children, be 
encouraged to both display the flag and study its history and the 
ideals it represents.
