                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Children are 
                       America's Greatest Assets.
Whereas it is a tradition of long standing and significance for twenty-three 
        years that all Americans observe and celebrate such special occasions as 
        Children's Day, the second Sunday in June;
Whereas as a group of citizens of the State of New York, led by Dr. Benjamin W. 
        Watkins, Locality Mayor of Harlem, is planning various activities to 
        educate our children about drugs, AIDS, and the polarization of races;
Whereas it is our hope that democracy is not a finished product but a constant 
        goal, and that in the struggle to attain perfection of that goal, our 
        children are the hope of this world today and the leaders of the world 
        tomorrow; and
Whereas although we live in a time of many complicated problems, we are aware 
        that we must constantly strive to improve our world so that our children 
        may reap the benefits of peace and increasing universal love and 
        brotherhood: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
children are America's greatest assets. We call upon all of the 
citizens of the United States of America to honor, nurture, and love 
our children not only on Children's Day, but on every day of the year.
