                          NATIONAL FAMILY WEEK

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Judiciary 
Committee be discharged from further consideration of Senate Resolution 
146, relating to the National Family Week, and that the Senate then 
proceed to its immediate consideration; that the resolution and 
preamble be agreed to, en bloc; that the motions to reconsider be laid 
upon the table, en bloc; and that any statements appear at the 
appropriate place in the Record as if read.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  So the resolution (S. Res. 146) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  The resolution, with its preamble, is as follows:

                              S. Res. 146

       Whereas the family is the basic strength of any free and 
     orderly society;
       Whereas it is appropriate to honor the family as a unit 
     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 designates the week beginning on 
     November 19, 1995, and the week beginning on November 24, 
     1996, as ``National Family Week''. The Senate requests the 
     President to issue a proclamation calling on the people of 
     the United States to observe each week with appropriate 
     ceremonies and activities.
