    Recognizing the contributions of 4-H Clubs and their members to 
                      voluntary community service.

Whereas the American people have a tradition of philanthropy and volunteerism;
Whereas 4-H Clubs, an organization originally established by the Extension 
        Service of the Department of Agriculture and land-grant colleges, 
        provide young people in the United States with the opportunity to 
        actively participate in volunteer services in their communities that can 
        bridge


the differences that separate people and help solve social problems;

Whereas there are more than 6,500,000 youth members of 4-H Clubs in the United 
        States;
Whereas 4-H members touch and enhance the lives of others during the annual 
        National 4-H Week and throughout the year by doing good, by giving where 
        there is a need, by rebuilding what has been torn down, by teaching 
        where there is a desire to learn, and by inspiring those who have lost 
        hope;
Whereas 4-H Clubs and their members, as well as other volunteers and Cooperative 
        Extension staff, have joined to promote the week of October 3 through 9, 
        1999, as a opportunity for national, collaborated voluntary community 
        service; and
Whereas voluntary community service is an investment in the future all Americans 
        must share: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress commends and recognizes 4-H Clubs and their members 
in the United States for their contributions to voluntary community 
service.

            Passed the House of Representatives October 25, 1999.

            Attest:

                                                 JEFF TRANDAHL,

                                                                 Clerk.
