   To designate the week beginning September 19, 1993, as ``National 
                  Historically Black Colleges Week''.

Whereas there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United 
        States;
Whereas such colleges and universities provide the quality education so 
        essential to full participation in a complex, highly technological 
        society;
Whereas black colleges and universities have a rich heritage and have played a 
        prominent role in American history;
Whereas such institutions have allowed many underprivileged students to attain 
        their full potential through higher education; and
Whereas the achievements and goals of the Historically Black Colleges and 
        Universities are deserving of national recognition: 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 
September 19, 1993, is designated as ``National Historically Black 
Colleges Week'' and the President is authorized and requested to issue 
a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States and 
interested groups to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies, 
activities, and programs, thereby demonstrating support for 
Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States.
