                         HON. NORMAN Y. MINETA

                        Thursday, April 14, 1994

  Mr. MINETA. Mr. Speaker, July 20, 1994, marks the 25th anniversary of 
the historic Apollo 11 mission to the Moon.
  The moment when Astronaut Neil Armstrong planted his foot onto the 
surface of the Moon will be heralded for all time as one of the 
greatest achievements of humankind in the 20th century.
  The Apollo 11 Moon Landing renewed faith in our Nation's ability to 
respond to any challenge, no matter how great and captured the 
imagination and dreams of the entire world.
  I introduce this resolution designating July 16-24, 1994, as 
``National Apollo Anniversary Observance'' in hopes of recapturing and 
rekindling the spirit that landed man on the Moon.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in cosponsoring this 
resolution that will serve to remind use that our Nation has the 
ingenuity and the will to meet the challenges of progress that await us 
as we near the dawn of the 21st century.
