                               RESOLUTION


 
   Designating the month of May each year as the Month for Children.

Whereas too often, our children suffer from hunger and homelessness;
Whereas the increase in crime in our schools hinders the educational development 
        of our children;
Whereas all children should have food, shelter, and health care, and should be 
        afforded educational opportunity;
Whereas all children should be protected from abuse and neglect; and
Whereas the period of childhood for too many children is marked by hardship and 
        despair: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates the month of May each year as the Month for 
        Children;
            (2) encourages all Americans to commit themselves to 
        improving the lives and future of all children by serving as 
        positive role models for the children of the United States and 
        the world; and
            (3) urges community leaders to publicly acknowledge the 
        significant contributions children make to society.
