H. CON. RES. 415

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas approximately 80,000 infants, children, teenagers, and young adults of 
        families living throughout the United States die each year from myriad 
        causes;
Whereas the death of an infant child, teenager, or young adult of a family is 
        considered to be one of the greatest tragedies that a parent or family 
        will ever endure during a lifetime; and
Whereas a supportive environment and empathy and understanding are considered 
        critical factors in the healing process of a family that is coping with 
        and recovering from the loss of a loved one: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That--
            (1) it is the sense of the Congress that there should be 
        established a National Children's Memorial Day; and
            (2) the Congress requests that the President issue a 
        proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to 
        observe such a day with appropriate ceremonies and activities 
        in remembrance of the many infants, children, teenagers, and 
        young adults in the United States who have died.

            Passed the House of Representatives October 18, 2000.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
