                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
   To designate June 6, 1994, as ``D-Day National Remembrance Day''.

Whereas June 6, 1994, marks the fiftieth anniversary of D-Day, the day of the 
        beginning of the Allied assault at Normandy, France, during World War 
        II;
Whereas the D-Day assault, known as Operation Overlord, was the most extensive 
        amphibious operation ever to occur, involving on the first day of the 
        operation five thousand ships, over eleven thousand sorties of Allied 
        aircraft, and one hundred and fifty-three thousand American, British, 
        and Canadian troops;
Whereas five separate beaches were assaulted, with American forces commanded by 
        Lieutenant General Omar Bradley attacking Omaha and Utah beaches and 
        British and Canadian forces commanded by General Miles Dempsey attacking 
        Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches;
Whereas American troops suffered significant losses during the assault, 
        including over six thousand five hundred casualties;
Whereas the D-Day assault was among the most critical events of World War II, 
        with the success of the Allied landings in Normandy providing the 
        foothold for the liberation of France and the eventual Allied 
        breakthrough into Germany and leading ultimately to the Allied victory 
        in Europe; and
Whereas June 6, 1944, is one of the most significant dates in the history of the 
        United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That June 6, 1994, is 
designated as ``D-Day National Remembrance Day'', and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate 
programs, ceremonies, and activities.
