Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the establishment of Million 
                             Mom March Day.

Whereas 10 children die each day in the United States from gunfire;
Whereas additional Federal regulation is needed regarding handgun training, 
        education, and design;
Whereas the Million Mom March has helped raise awareness of the need for further 
        regulation of handguns;
Whereas a day should be established to pay tribute to the victims of gun trauma 
        and to celebrate the Million Mom March; and
Whereas Mother's Day, May 13, 2001, would be an appropriate day to establish as 
        Million Mom March Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a Million Mom March Day should be established to pay 
        tribute to the victims of gun trauma and to celebrate the 
        Million Mom March; and
            (2) the President should issue a proclamation calling upon 
        the people of the United States to observe such a day with 
        appropriate programs and activities.
