                                 ______

                             NEIGHBOR DAY''

  Mr. BAUCUS (for himself and Mr. Burns) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 340

       Whereas our society has developed highly effective means of 
     speedy communication around the world, but has failed to 
     ensure meaningful communication among people living across 
     the globe, or even across the street, from one another;
       Whereas the endurance of human values and consideration for 
     others are critical to the survival of civilization; and
       Whereas being good neighbors to those around us is the 
     first step toward human understanding: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved,

     SECTION 1. DESIGNATION OF NATIONAL GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY.

       (a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the President should designate September 26, 2004, as 
     ``National Good Neighbor Day''.
       (b) Proclamation.--The Senate requests the President to 
     issue a proclamation--
       (1) designating September 26, 2004, as ``National Good 
     Neighbor Day''; and
       (2) calling on the people of the United States and 
     interested groups and organizations to observe ``National 
     Good Neighbor Day'' with appropriate ceremonies and 
     activities.
