                               RESOLUTION


 
  To designate October, 1996, as ``Roosevelt History Month'', and for 
                            other purposes.

Whereas January 30, 1995, is the 113th anniversary of the birth of President 
        Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Hyde Park, New York;
Whereas almost a half-century after the death of President Roosevelt, his legacy 
        remains central to the public life of the Nation;
Whereas before becoming President of the United States, Franklin Delano 
        Roosevelt served in the New York State Senate and later was appointed 
        Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and in 1928 became Governor of New 
        York;
Whereas as President of the United States between 1933 and 1945, Franklin Delano 
        Roosevelt guided the Nation through two of the greatest crises of the 
        twentieth century, the Great Depression and the Second World War, and in 
        so doing, changed the course of American politics;
Whereas a memorial in stone in the District of Columbia will soon be dedicated 
        to his memory, as authorized by Congress in 1955; and
Whereas a month commemorating the history of Franklin Delano Roosevelt would 
        complement the dedication of the memorial: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That October, 1996, should be designated ``Roosevelt 
History Month''. The President is requested to issue a proclamation 
calling on the people of the United States to observe the month with 
appropriate ceremonies and activities.
