                               RESOLUTION


 
Designating December 12, 1999, as ``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 1 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,

SECTION 1. DESIGNATION OF NATIONAL CHILDREN'S MEMORIAL DAY.

    The Senate--
            (1) designates December 12, 1999, as ``National Children's 
        Memorial Day''; and
            (2) requests that the President issue a proclamation 
        calling upon the people of the United States to observe the day 
        with appropriate ceremonies and activities in remembrance of 
        the many infants, children, teenagers, and young adults of 
        families in the United States who have died.
