                       NATIONAL GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY

  The resolution (S. Res. 124) designating September 28, 2003, as 
``National Good Neighbor Day'' was considered and agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  The resolution, with its preamble, reads as follows:
       Whereas while our society has developed highly effective 
     means of speedy communication around the world, it has failed 
     to ensure communication among individuals who live side by 
     side;
       Whereas the endurance of human values and consideration for 
     others is of prime importance if civilization is to survive; 
     and
       Whereas being a good neighbor to those around us is the 
     first step toward human understanding: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) designates September 28, 2003, as ``National Good 
     Neighbor Day''; and
       (2) requests that the President issue a proclamation 
     calling upon the people of the United States and interested 
     groups and organizations to observe National Good Neighbor 
     Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
