RESOLUTION
To declare that July 28, 1994, 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 sacrifical 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, 1994, all private citizens,
organizations and governmental and legislative bodies at the local,
State and Federal level are encouraged in 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.
