     Designating February 11, 2003, as ``National Inventors' Day''.

Whereas the American people and the world have benefited from the creations and

    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) honors the important role played by inventors in 
        promoting progress in the useful arts;
            (2) recognizes the invaluable contribution of inventors to 
        the welfare of the people of the United States;
            (3) designates February 11, 2003, as ``National Inventors' 
        Day''; and
            (4) requests the President to issue a proclamation calling 
        upon the people of the United States to celebrate such day with 
        appropriate ceremonies and activities.
