                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
  Designating August 2, 1994, as ``National Neighborhood Crime Watch 
                                 Day''.

Whereas neighborhood crime is of continuing concern to the American people;
Whereas the fight against neighborhood crime requires people to work together in 
        cooperation with law enforcement officials;
Whereas neighborhood crime watch organizations are effective at promoting 
        awareness about, and the participation of volunteers in, crime 
        prevention activities at the local level;
Whereas neighborhood crime watch groups can contribute to the Nation's war on 
        drugs by helping to prevent their communities from becoming markets for 
        drug dealers; and
Whereas citizens across America will soon take part in a ``National Night Out'', 
        a unique crime prevention event which will demonstrate the importance 
        and effectiveness of community participation in crime prevention efforts 
        by having people spend the period from 8 to 9 o'clock postmeridian on 
        August 2, 1994, with their neighbors in front of their homes: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That August 2, 1994, is 
designated as ``National Neighborhood Crime Watch Day'', and the 
President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling 
upon the people of the United States to observe such day with 
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
