                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 To designate the month of September 1994 as ``National Sewing Month''.

Whereas the sewing industry annually honors the approximately 30,000,000 people 
        who sew at home;
Whereas the home sewing industry generates over $3,500,000,000 annually for the 
        economy of the United States; and
Whereas innumerable careers in fashion, retail merchandising, design, pattern 
        making, and textiles have had their beginnings in the home and in 
        elementary school home economics classes: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the month of September 
1994 is hereby designated as ``National Sewing Month''. The President 
is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe this month with the appropriate 
ceremonies and activities.
