                               RESOLUTION


 
    Designating April 4, 2001, as ``National Murder Awareness Day''.

Whereas murder needlessly claims the lives of thousands of Americans each year;
Whereas murder has a devastating effect on the families of victims throughout 
        the United States; and
Whereas local community awareness and involvement can help eliminate the 
        incidences of murder: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates April 4, 2001 as ``National Murder Awareness 
        Day''; and
            (2) requests that the President issue a proclamation urging 
        local communities throughout the United States to remember the 
        victims of murder and carry out programs and activities to help 
        eliminate the incidences of murder.
                                 <all>
