                               RESOLUTION


 
    Designating the week beginning November 21, 1999, and the week 
 beginning on November 19, 2000, as ``National Family Week'', and for 
                            other purposes.

Whereas the family is the basic strength of any free and orderly society;
Whereas it is in the family that America's youth are nurtured and taught the 
        values vital to success and happiness in life: respect for others, 
        honesty, service, hard work, loyalty, love, and others;
Whereas the family provides the support necessary for people to pursue their 
        goals;
Whereas it is appropriate to honor the family unit as essential to the continued 
        well-being of the United States; and
Whereas it is fitting that official recognition be given to the importance of 
        family loyalties and ties: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate designates the week beginning on November 
21, 1999, and the week beginning on November 19, 2000, as ``National 
Family Week''. The Senate requests the President to issue a 
proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe each 
week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
