Expressing support for the recognition of Christopher Columbus and his 
 impact on the Italian-American community, and recognizing the second 
                 Monday in October as ``Columbus Day''.

Whereas, on October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World and 
        changed the course of history;
Whereas Christopher Columbus's discoveries played an integral role in the 
        founding of the United States and the American continents;
Whereas Christopher Columbus has been honored for generations as a pillar of 
        American heritage and culture;
Whereas over the course of generations, Christopher Columbus has become a hero 
        to the Italian-American community for his passion and commitment to 
        discovery; and
Whereas Christopher Columbus represents the intrepid spirit of the Italian-
        American community: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the observance of the second Monday in October 
        as ``Columbus Day''; and
            (2) honors the contributions of the Italian-American 
        community in our society thanks to the influence of Christopher 
        Columbus.
