Expressing the sense of the Congress that Roberto Clemente was a great 
    athlete and should be honored by a national day of recognition.

Whereas during his career in Major League Baseball Roberto Clemente won 12 Gold 
        Gloves, was a National League All-Star 12 times, batted .311 or higher 
        in 13 seasons, won 4 National League batting titles, was the National 
        League's Most Valuable Player in 1971, and was the 11th Major League 
        player to record 3,000 hits;
Whereas Roberto Clemente was a devoted humanitarian and died in a plane crash on 
        December 31, 1972, while flying relief supplies to victims of an 
        earthquake in Nicaragua; and
Whereas Roberto Clemente was the first Hispanic inducted into the National 
        Baseball Hall of Fame: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) Roberto Clemente was a great athlete and humanitarian; 
        and
            (2) there should be established a national day of 
        recognition to honor Roberto Clemente.
