          SENATE RESOLUTION 100--RELATIVE TO NATIONAL 4-H DAY

  Mrs. HUTCHISON submitted the following resolution; which was referred 
to the Committee on the Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 100

       Whereas the Senate is proud to honor the National 4-H Youth 
     Development Program of the Cooperative State Research, 
     Education, and Extension Service for 85 years of experience-
     based education to young people throughout the United States;
       Whereas this admirable Program seeks to provide a learning 
     experience for the whole child (including head, heart, hands, 
     and health) and help children of the United States to acquire 
     knowledge, develop life skills, and form attitudes to enable 
     the children to become self-directed, productive, and 
     contributing members of society;
       Whereas the 5,500,000 urban, suburban, and rural 
     participants in the Program, ranging from 5 to 19 years of 
     age, hail from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds 
     and truly represent a cross-section of the United States;
       Whereas the Program could not have achieved success without 
     the service of the more than 65,000 volunteers who have given 
     generously of their time, talents, energies, and resources; 
     and
       Whereas throughout proud history of the Program, the 
     Program has developed positive roles models for the youth of 
     the United States and (through its innovative and inspiring 
     programs) continues to build character and to instill the 
     values that have made the United States strong and great: 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) proclaims April 5, 1995, as National 4-H Day;
       (2) commends the 4-H Youth Development Program and the many 
     children and volunteers who have made the Program a success; 
     and
       (3) requests the President to issue a proclamation calling 
     on the people of the United States to observe the day with 
     appropriate ceremonies and activities.
