                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
To authorize the President to issue a proclamation designating Sunday, 
                  August 1, 1993 as Small-Town Sunday.

Whereas small towns have made a significant contribution to American life;
Whereas small towns have been the spirit and backbone of this great Nation and 
        have provided many common, traditional ideals and values throughout our 
        history;
Whereas it is appropriate to recognize the importance of small towns in the 
        development of a sense of community and to highlight the spirit of small 
        towns;
Whereas it is vital to unify small-town residents in the process of revitalizing 
        their own small town and reinvigorating small-town life; and
Whereas it is fitting that official recognition be given to the importance of 
        small towns and a day set aside for activities that are most commonly 
        associated with small towns, such as town festivals, family picnics, 
        baseball games, et cetera: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the President hereby is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation designating Sunday, 
August 1, 1993 as Small-Town Sunday.

                                 <all>
