                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing support for a National Day of Unity in response to the 
           President's call for a national dialogue on race.

Whereas the President has called for a national dialogue on race;
Whereas a group of San Diego, California, business, civic, and religious leaders 
        has called for a National Day of Unity;
Whereas the best way to meet the President's challenge is to establish a 
        National Day of Unity when all Americans can celebrate their common 
        heritage and shared destiny;
Whereas such a day would be a means to build a bridge that would finally cross 
        the racial divides of our Nation, and to achieve the unity our Nation 
        desires and needs; and
Whereas no particular day can close all racial divisions within our Nation, but 
        by coming together on a National Day of Unity, we can focus the dialogue 
        the President seeks, and that the Nation needs: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That a Day of National Unity should be established in 
order to facilitate a national dialogue on race, and so that Americans 
can celebrate their unity and their commitment to liberty and justice 
for all.
