                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
       Designating June 27, 1994, as ``Veterans Employment Day''.

Whereas veterans have exceptional talent, training, and discipline that they 
        utilize in their employment;
Whereas veterans have demonstrated that they are among the best workers 
        available to public and private employers throughout the Nation;
Whereas veterans deserve recognition not only for their service to the Nation as 
        members of the Armed Services but also as productive employees; and
Whereas June 27, 1994, is the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Veterans' 
        Preference Act of 1944 that first gave preference to veterans in 
        employment with the Federal Government: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the President is 
authorized and requested to proclaim June 27, 1994, as ``Veterans 
Employment Day'' as a means of focusing national attention on the 
contributions made by veterans as productive members of the work force 
of this Nation.
