                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
  Designating November 1994 as ``National American Lacemaker Month''.

Whereas lacemaking is an ancient craft that dates back to the 15th century;
Whereas lacemaking has evolved in the United States to become instantly 
        recognizable as an American folk art;
Whereas the intricate handiwork of lace features precision and detail which make 
        these creations prized possessions; and
Whereas recognition is due to all artisans in this Nation who continue to 
        practice the craft of lacemaking, thereby preserving a part of our rich 
        American heritage: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That November 1994 is 
designated as ``National American Lacemaker Month''. The President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people 
of the United States to observe such occasion with appropriate 
programs, ceremonies, and activities.
