                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
      Designating January 16, 1994, as ``National Good Teen Day''.

Whereas Salem City Schools in Salem, Ohio, have proclaimed January 16, 1992, as 
        ``Good Teen Day'';
Whereas there are more than twenty-four million teenagers in the United States 
        according to the 1990 Census;
Whereas our Nation's teenagers represent an important part of our society, and 
        the many physical and emotional changes and character-building 
        experiences which teenagers go through are an important concern;
Whereas it is easy to stereotype teenagers as either those who have problems or 
        those who excel;
Whereas teenagers should not simply be recognized for their intelligence, 
        abilities, skills and talents, but rather for the good which is inherent 
        in all human beings;
Whereas as unique individuals, teenagers are encouraged to esteem the good as 
        well as the potential that is within each of them;
Whereas a day should be created to focus on the positive qualities in America's 
        youth; and
Whereas teenagers are the future of this great country: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That January 16, 1994, is 
designated as ``National Good Teen Day'', and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people 
of the United States to observe such day by recognizing the teenagers 
of the United States and by participating in appropriate ceremonies and 
activities.

            Passed the House of Representatives November 8, 1993.

            Attest:

                                           DONNALD K. ANDERSON,

                                                                 Clerk.
