 To designate the weeks of April 25 through May 2, 1993, and April 10 
             through 17, 1994, as ``Jewish Heritage Week''.

Whereas April 26, 1993, and April 14, 1994, mark the forty-fifth and forty-sixth 
        anniversaries of the founding of the State of Israel;
Whereas the months of April and May contain events of major significance in the

        of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the opening of the Holocaust Memorial 
        Museum in Washington, DC, Holocaust Memorial Day, and Jerusalem Day;
Whereas the Congress recognizes that an understanding of the heritage of all 
        ethnic groups in the Nation contributes to the unity of this Nation; and
Whereas understanding among ethnic groups in this Nation may be advanced further 
        through and appreciation of the culture, history, and traditions of the 
        Jewish community and the contributions of the Jewish people to this 
        Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That, the weeks of April 25 
through May 2, 1993, and April 10 through 17, 1994, are designated as 
``Jewish Heritage Week'', and the President is authorized and requested 
to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States, 
departments and agencies of State and local governments, and interested 
organizations to observe such a week with appropriate ceremonies, 
activities, and programs.
