Whereas the Hispanic press in the United States focuses in particular on 
        informing and promoting the well being of our country's Hispanic 
        community; and
Whereas commemorating the achievements of the Hispanic press acknowledges the 
        important role the Hispanic press has played in United States history: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates June 5 through June 11, 2005, as ``National 
        Hispanic Media Week'', in honor of the Hispanic Media of
