 Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding National Pearl Harbor 
                            Remembrance Day.

Whereas on December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force attacked 
        units of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed at Pearl 
        Harbor, Hawaii;
Whereas 2,403 members of the Armed Forces of the United States were killed in 
        the attack on Pearl Harbor;
Whereas there are more than 12,000 members of the Pearl Harbor Survivors 
        Association;
Whereas the 60th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor will be December 7, 
        2001;
Whereas on August 23, 1994, Public Law 103-308 was enacted, designating December 
        7 of each year as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day; and
Whereas Public Law 103-308, reenacted as section 129 of title 36, United States 
        Code, requests the President to issue each year a proclamation calling 
        on the people of the United States to observe National Pearl Harbor 
        Remembrance Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and all 
        departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the Federal Government, 
        and interested organizations, groups, and individuals, to fly the flag 
        of the United States at half-staff each December 7 in honor of the 
        individuals who died as a result of their service at Pearl Harbor: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the 
December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, pays tribute to--
            (1) the United States citizens who died in the attack; and
            (2) the members of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association.
                                 <all>
