                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in support of 
                 ``National Children's Memorial Day''.

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;
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; and
Whereas Senate Resolution 118 would designate December 12, 1999, as ``National 
        Children's Memorial Day'': 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.
