Designating May 26 through 29, 1995, as ``Peruvian Institutions in the 
                    United States of America Week''.

Whereas the Peruvian Institutions in the United States of America are gathering 
        for their XI Convention to exchange ideas and experiences to promote and 
        support the institutions associated with administrative skills and 
        development;
Whereas some 1,000,000 Peruvians live in the United States of America;
Whereas the Convention will be used to pursue new ideas that will extend the 
        horizons of the institutions and work to demonstrate that the Peruvian 
        community is a vital and constructive force in American society;
Whereas this Convention will address the problems faced by Peruvian 
        institutions, Peruvian-Americans and immigrants, and will develop 
        procedures to provide scholarships to Hispanic individuals; and
Whereas the theme of the Convention will be ``Progress Through Education'' to 
        achieve success in life: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That May 26 through 29, 1995, 
is designated as ``Peruvian Institutions in the United States Week'' 
and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
calling upon the people of the United States to observe such a week 
with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
