                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                July 22 (legislative day, June 30), 1993

                            JOINT RESOLUTION


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

Whereas Salem City Schools in Salem, Ohio, proclaimed January 16, 1992, as 
        ``Good Teen Day'';
Whereas there are more than 24,000,000 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''. 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.
