                               RESOLUTION


 
      To declare that July 28, 1993, be recognized as Parents Day.

Whereas the values of sacrificial love and integrity are fundamental in 
        developing the moral character essential to maintaining a strong nation;
Whereas parents by their example of sacrificial love and the transmission of 
        moral and cultural values play a crucial and determinant role in the 
        development of youth;
Whereas time has demonstrated that the traditional American family is the most 
        stable and secure environment in which parents can successfully rear 
        future generations;
Whereas the current breakdown of the traditional American family is a major 
        factor contributing to the rise of crime, teen pregnancy, educational 
        failure, substance abuse, and suicide among our Nation's youth; and
Whereas it is in the interest of society and government to adopt policies that 
        help families stay together by strengthening and sustaining fathers and 
        mothers in fulfilling their parental roles: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That on Parents Day, July 28, 1993, all private citizens, 
organizations, and governmental and legislative bodies at the local, 
State, and Federal level are encouraged to recognize this day through 
proclamations, activities, and educational efforts in the furtherance 
of recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the 
rearing of their children.
