                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the establishment of a 
Parents Week to recognize and support parents who actively participate 
                    in the lives of their children.

Whereas parents play a vital role in society by raising their children to be 
        responsible adults;
Whereas parents who actively participate in the lives of their children deserve 
        recognition and support;
Whereas the establishment of a Parents Week would encourage parents to actively 
        participate in the lives of their children; and
Whereas the fourth week of September is an appropriate week to establish as 
        Parents Week: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a Parents Week should be established to recognize and 
        support parents who actively participate in the lives of their 
        children; and
            (2) the President should issue a proclamation calling on 
        the people of the United States to observe such a week with 
        appropriate programs and activities.
