                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
  Designating May 30, 1994, through June 6, 1994, as a ``Time for the 
   National Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War II''.

Whereas the brave men and women of the United States of America made tremendous 
        sacrifices during World War II to save the world from tyranny and 
        aggression;
Whereas the winds of freedom and democracy sweeping the globe today spring from 
        the principles for which over four hundred thousand Americans gave their 
        lives in World War II;
Whereas World War II and the events that led up to that war must be understood 
        in order that we may better understand our own times, and more fully 
        appreciate the reasons why eternal vigilance against any form of tyranny 
        is so important;
Whereas the World War II era, as reflected in its family life, industry, and 
        entertainment, was a unique period in American history and epitomized 
        our Nation's philosophy of hard work, courage, and tenacity in the face 
        of adversity;
Whereas, between 1991 and 1995, over nine million American veterans of World War 
        II will be holding reunions and conferences and otherwise commemorating 
        the fiftieth anniversary of various events relating to World War II; and
Whereas June 4, 1994, marks the anniversary of the Battle of Midway, and June 6, 
        1994, marks the anniversary of D-Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That May 30, 1994, through 
June 6, 1994, is designated as a ``Time for the National Observance of 
the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War II'', and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people 
of the United States to observe that period with appropriate ceremonies 
and activities.
