                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
Designating May 22 through May 28, 1994, as ``In Celebration of America 
                                Week''.

Whereas the purpose of the designation made by this joint resolution is to 
        promote among students a conscious and constructive understanding that 
        America is made up of people from diverse ethnic, racial, cultural, 
        linguistic, and religious backgrounds, yet are united as Americans by 
        the ideals and principles of democracy that are contained in the United 
        States Constitution and Bill of Rights and the Declaration of 
        Independence;
Whereas the week's activities should build toward the observance of Memorial 
        Day, honoring Americans of all backgrounds who gave their lives so that 
        future generations could enjoy the blessings of the Declaration of 
        Independence and the United States Constitution; and
Whereas it is intended that this week of celebration include activities at each 
        school site that reflect this theme, utilize district and community 
        resources, and are incorporated into the social studies curriculum: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That May 22 through 28, 1994, 
is designated as ``In Celebration of America Week'', and the President 
is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate 
ceremonies and activities.
