  Designating March 20 through March 26, 1994, as ``Small Family Farm 
                                Week''.

Whereas the small family farmer contributes enormously to the agricultural 
        productivity of the United States of America;
Whereas the plight of the small family farmer has been in jeopardy in recent 
        times;
Whereas many small family farms continue to operate in the face of financial and 
        credit difficulties;
Whereas the size and crop makeup of family farms varies from region to region in 
        the United States of America;
Whereas a small family farm can generally be defined as having gross sales of 
        under $40,000, using family members as the primary component of labor; 
        and
Whereas the small family farm represents the historical foundation of American 
        agriculture: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week of March 20 
through March 26, 1994, is designated as ``Small Family Farm Week'', 
and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
calling on the people of the United States to observe the week with 
appropriate ceremonies and activities.
