                               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 an appropriate 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 and other divides of our Nation and to achieve the unity our 
        Nation desires and needs; and
Whereas no particular day can close all 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 National Day of Unity should be established in 
order to facilitate a national dialogue to encourage Americans to renew 
their commitment to liberty and justice for all and to celebrate our 
unity.
