                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing support for the designation and goals of ``National Hispanic 
   Media Week'' in honor of the Hispanic media of the United States.

Whereas, for almost 470 years, the United States has benefitted from the work of 
        Hispanic writers and publishers;
Whereas more than 600 Hispanic publishers circulate more than 20,000,000 copies 
        of publications every week in the United States;
Whereas 1 out of every 8 citizens of the United States is served by a Hispanic 
        publisher;
Whereas the Hispanic press informs many citizens of the United States about the 
        great political, economic, and social issues of the day;
Whereas the Hispanic press of the United States particularly focuses on 
        informing and promoting the well-being of the Hispanic community of the 
        United States;
Whereas, by commemorating the achievements of the Hispanic press, the House of 
        Representatives acknowledges the important role that the Hispanic press 
        has played in the history of the United States; and
Whereas the second week of October has previously been designated as ``National 
        Hispanic Media Week'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the importance of the Hispanic press of the 
        United States in informing and promoting the well-being of the 
        Hispanic community of the United States;
            (2) supports the designation of an appropriate week as 
        ``National Hispanic Media Week'' in honor of the Hispanic media 
        of the United States; and
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        the week with appropriate programs and activities.
