                               RESOLUTION


 
 Designating the week of November 19 through November 25, 2017, during 
  which the holiday of Thanksgiving is observed, as ``National Family 
                                Week''.

Whereas the family is the basic strength of any free and orderly society;
Whereas it is appropriate to honor the family unit as essential to the continued 
        well-being of the United States; and
Whereas it is fitting that official recognition be given to the importance of 
        family loyalties and ties: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates the week of November 19 through November 25, 
        2017, during which the holiday of Thanksgiving is observed, as 
        ``National Family Week'';
            (2) encourages States and local governments to designate 
        the week of November 19 through November 25, 2017, as 
        ``National Family Week''; and
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        ``National Family Week'' with appropriate ceremonies and 
        activities.
