[H. Res. 376 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                     November 18, 1999.
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, That the House of Representatives supports the goals and ideas of 
``National Children's Memorial Day'' in remembrance of the many infants, 
children, teenagers, and young adults of families in the United States who have 
died.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
