                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing support for designation of the first week of August as 
                   ``National Family Business Week''.

Whereas many of the Founding Fathers, including Benjamin Franklin, Alexander 
        Hamilton, and John Hancock were family businessmen;
Whereas family enterprises create jobs and pass on the entrepreneurial spirit 
        from generation to generation;
Whereas the Family Business Chamber of Commerce is a newly launched national 
        professional association committed to the common good of family 
        businesses;
Whereas the goal of the Family Business Chamber of Commerce is to support and 
        promote family firms nationwide in providing information, education, 
        business services, and networking opportunities designed to meet the 
        unique needs of family businesses;
Whereas the mission of the Family Business Chamber of Commerce is to promote 
        entrepreneurial excellence, economic advancement, quality of life for 
        families in business, and the retention and development of new jobs in 
        the United States; and
Whereas the first week of August would be an appropriate week to designate as 
        ``National Family Business Week'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``National Family Business Week''.
