                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
   Designating September 5, 1994, Labor Day, as ``Try American Day''.

Whereas the creativity and ingenuity of American working men and women in the 
        United States have provided a host of new products and services which 
        improve the quality of life in the United States and the world;
Whereas American workers should be recognized as one of our Nation's most 
        valuable resources;
Whereas the American spirit of entrepreneurship, pride of craftsmanship, and 
        commitment to quality are hallmarks recognized throughout the world;
Whereas the United States and its citizens have reason to celebrate the strength 
        and quality of American products and services;
Whereas the quality and abundance of American goods are a tribute to the 
        productivity and ability of American workers;
Whereas the ability of American companies to export, even in the face of strong 
        trade barriers in many countries, is a sign of the true competitiveness 
        of American products;
Whereas American farmers and ranchers provide this country and the world with a 
        wide array of high quality food and fiber products and consistently 
        create annual agricultural trade surpluses of more than $20,000,000,000;
Whereas the energy and perseverance of American business serves as a beacon for 
        other nations that strive to ensure prosperity for their people; and
Whereas American small business provides a basis for economic progress and for 
        the creation of jobs and opportunities for people from every corner of 
        America: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That September 5, 1994, Labor 
Day, is designated ``Try American Day'', and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people 
of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and 
activities and to honor the day through the purchase of American-made 
goods and services.
