                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 Designating the weekend of October 15-16, 1994, as ``Small Towns and 
                          Townships Weekend''.

Whereas small towns and townships 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 and 
        townships in the development of a sense of community and to highlight 
        the spirit of small towns and townships;
Whereas it is vital to unify residents of small towns and townships in the 
        process of revitalizing their own community and reinvigorating small-
        town life; and
Whereas it is fitting that official recognition be given to the importance of 
        small towns and townships and a weekend set aside for activities that 
        are most commonly associated with small towns and townships, such as 
        town festivals, family picnics, and baseball games: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the weekend of October 
15-16, 1994, is designated as ``Small Towns and Townships Weekend'', 
and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
calling on the people of the United States to observe such weekend with 
appropriate ceremonies and activities.

            Passed the House of Representatives October 7, 1994.

            Attest:

                                           DONNALD K. ANDERSON,

                                                                 Clerk.
