Designating the week of April 21 through April 27, 2003, as ``National 
                         Cowboy Poetry Week''.

Whereas throughout American history, cowboy poets have played a large part in 
        framing the landscape of the American West through written and oral 
        poetry;
Whereas the endurance of these tales and poems demonstrates that cowboy poetry 
        is still a living art;
Whereas recognizing the contributions of these poets dates as far back as 
        cowboys themselves; and
Whereas it is necessary to recognize the importance of cowboy poetry for future 
        generations: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates that week of April 21 through April 27, 
        2003, as ``National Cowboy Poetry Week''; and
            (2) requests the President to issue a proclamation calling 
        upon the people of the United States to celebrate the week with 
        the appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
