                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
           To designate 1994 as ``The Year of Gospel Music''.

Whereas Gospel music is a uniquely American art form, one that has provided hope 
        and inspiration for generations of Americans;
Whereas Gospel music is the forerunner of many forms of popular music in the 
        United States;
Whereas Gospel music is an important art form, and a vital part of our cultural 
        heritage; and
Whereas it is in our national interest to promote and preserve Gospel music for 
        generations of Americans to come: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That 1994 is designated ``The 
Year of Gospel Music'', and that the President is authorized and 
requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United 
States to mark that year with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
