                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
   To provide for the designation of September 1, 1994, as ``Working 
                            Mothers' Day''.

Whereas more than twenty million American women are employed outside the home 
        and have children under the age of eighteen;
Whereas these working mothers are making unique and substantial contributions to 
        both the growth of the economy and the strength of the American family; 
        and
Whereas working mothers deserve special recognition for fulfilling their 
        exceptional responsibilities in the home and in the world of commerce: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the President of the 
United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
designating September 1, 1994, as ``Working Mothers' Day'', and calling 
upon families, individual citizens, labor and civic organizations, the 
media, and the business community to acknowledge the importance of 
working mothers and to express appreciation for their role in American 
society.
