                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
          To designate August 16, 1994, as ``TV Nation Day''.

Whereas television is one industry with which no other country can compete with 
        America;
Whereas American popular culture is a major United States export;
Whereas some of the most memorable and uplifting moments in people's lives have 
        occurred while watching television, from the Apollo moon landing to 
        little baby Jessica's rescue from the well;
Whereas TV Nation will air on broadcast television in the United States, making 
        it available, free of charge, to everyone;
Whereas TV Nation is the first American/European joint television venture, and 
        will begin a new opportunity for similar ventures in the future;
Whereas other news magazine programs focus on what's wrong with America, TV 
        Nation focuses on what's right;
Whereas TV Nation will help the United States economy by providing many new 
        employment opportunities, particularly high-tech information ones; and
Whereas TV Nation employs numerous Oscar, Emmy, and Cable-Ace Award nominees and 
        winners: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That August 16, 1994, shall be designated as ``TV Nation 
Day''.
