                               RESOLUTION


 
   To designate the week of May 4, 1997, as ``National Correctional 
                     Officers and Employees Week''.

Whereas the operation of correctional facilities represents a crucial component 
        of our criminal justice system;
Whereas correctional personnel play a vital role in protecting the rights of the 
        public to be safeguarded from criminal activity;
Whereas correctional personnel are responsible for the care, custody and dignity 
        of the human beings charged to their care; and
Whereas correctional personnel work under demanding circumstances and face 
        danger in their daily work lives: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate designate the week of May 4, 1997, as 
``National Correctional Officers and Employees Week.'' The President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate 
ceremonies and activities.
