                               RESOLUTION


 
     Designating the week of each November in which the holiday of 
         Thanksgiving is observed as ``National Family Week''.

Whereas the family is the basic strength of any free and orderly society;
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--
            (1) designates the week of each November in which the 
        holiday of Thanksgiving is observed as ``National Family 
        Week''; and
            (2) requests that the President issue each year a 
        proclamation--
                    (A) designating the week of each November in which 
                the holiday of Thanksgiving is observed as ``National 
                Family Week''; and
                    (B) calling on the people of the United States to 
                observe ``National Family Week'' with appropriate 
                ceremonies and activities.
                                 <all>
