                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
    Designating May 14, 1994, as ``National Police Survivors Day''.

Whereas the police officers of America work devotedly and selflessly to serve 
        and protect the people of this Nation, regardless of the peril or hazard 
        to themselves;
Whereas each year nearly 150 Federal, State, and municipal police officers are 
        tragically killed in the line of duty while safeguarding the lives and 
        property of their fellow Americans;
Whereas the lives of surviving family members of police officers killed in the 
        line of duty are forever changed; and
Whereas these survivors, who have experienced such great loss, have earned the 
        gratitude of the Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That May 14, 1994, is 
designated as ``National Police Survivors Day'', and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people 
of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and 
activities.
