                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of Congress that ``Kids Love a Mystery Month'' 
                         should be established.

Whereas knowledge, wisdom, and children are the greatest assets of a democracy;
Whereas books enable one generation to pass on its knowledge and wisdom to the 
        next;
Whereas learning to read is one of the greatest privileges the Nation extends to 
        its children;
Whereas children most often choose mysteries as their favorite books;
Whereas the Mystery Writers of America sponsors ``Kids Love a Mystery'', an 
        outreach program designed to bring mystery writers and children together 
        to encourage literacy and the love of reading; and
Whereas the Mystery Writers of America recognizes the value in designating a 
        month to celebrate the importance of reading for children and has chosen 
        the month of October each year to observe ``Kids Love a Mystery Month'': 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) ``Kids Love a Mystery Month'' should be established; 
        and
            (2) the President should issue a proclamation encouraging 
        the people of the United States and interested groups to 
        observe such a month with appropriate programs and activities.
