                               RESOLUTION


 
 Supporting the goals and ideals of a National Day of Remembrance for 
                            Murder Victims.

Whereas the death of a loved one is a devastating experience, and the murder of 
        a loved one is exceptionally difficult;
Whereas the friends and families of murder victims cope with grief through a 
        variety of support services, including counseling, crisis intervention, 
        professional referrals, and assistance in dealing with the criminal 
        justice system; and
Whereas the designation of a National Day of Remembrance For Murder Victims on 
        September 25th of each year provides an opportunity for the people of 
        the United States to honor the memories of murder victims and to 
        recognize the impact on surviving family members: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of a National Day of 
        Remembrance for Murder Victims; and
            (2) recognizes the significant benefits of the 
        organizations that provide services to the loved ones of murder 
        victims.
