                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
    Designating March 1, 1993, through March 5, 1993, as ``National 
                           Saleswoman Week''.

Whereas half of all sales positions are filled by women, including over two-
        thirds of the retail sales force;
Whereas veteran saleswomen can teach new saleswomen effective strategies for 
        successful careers;
Whereas the average earnings of saleswomen increased by 43 percent between 1983 
        and 1990;
Whereas there are associations which help saleswomen network, learn sales 
        skills, share ideas, take advantage of job banks, and offer support to 
        each other; and
Whereas local chapters of such associations regularly hold seminars, workshops, 
        and meetings to further the professional lives of women already in sales 
        and marketing and those considering such careers: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That March 1, 1993, through 
March 5, 1993, is designated as ``National Saleswoman Week''. The 
President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling 
upon the people of the United States to observe such week with 
appropriate ceremonies and activities.
