                               RESOLUTION


 
Designating December 13, 1998, as ``National Children's Memorial Day''.

Whereas approximately 79,000 infants, children, teenagers, and young adults die 
        each year in the United States;
Whereas the death of a child is one of the greatest tragedies suffered by a 
        family; and
Whereas support and understanding are critical to the healing process of a 
        bereaved family: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates December 13, 1998, as ``National Children's 
        Memorial Day''; and
            (2) requests that the President issue a proclamation 
        designating December 13, 1998, as ``National Children's 
        Memorial Day'' and calls on the people of the United States to 
        observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities in 
        remembrance of infants, children, teenagers, and young adults 
        who have died.
                                 <all>
