        rank of General of the Army, and as President, Dwight D. Eisenhower 
        significantly and positively influenced the course of history;
Whereas recognition of Dwight D. Eisenhower's achievements can serve as 
        inspiration to the citizens, and especially the youth, of the United 
        States;
Whereas the Kansas State Legislature has designated October 14 each year as 
        ``Dwight D. Eisenhower Day'' in the State of Kansas and has encouraged 
        the citizens of Kansas to participate in the observance;

        the birth of Dwight D. Eisenhower, as ``Dwight D. Eisenhower Day''; and

        Eisenhower and to keep his inspiration and legacy alive: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress encourages the people of the United States to observe 
the life and achievements of Dwight D. Eisenhower with appropriate 
ceremonies and respect.
