  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
Proclamation.
  Whereas, in the Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, many 
individuals and organizations strive to bring awareness, enlightenment 
and entertainment to our community through culture and dance; and
  Whereas, The National Dance Week Foundation was formed in 1981 to 
bring greater recognition to dance; giving us an unique opportunity for 
our nation to showcase the different musicians, writers, producers, 
promoters, performers and dancers who have contributed to making Dance 
a heavy weight in the industry of entertainment around the world; and
  Whereas, today we celebrate the kickoff of National Dance Week Month 
at the Redan Recreation Center in Lithonia, by witnessing performers 
showcase Dance to our District; and
  Whereas, our beloved District has found a jewel in the art of 
dancing, it promotes fun fitness and dance touches the minds and souls 
of untold millions; and
  Whereas, our community has been strengthened in times of joy and 
sorrow through dance; putting rhythm in our feet, adrenalin in our 
blood and pizzazz in our spirits; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the gift of Dance as an 
unique and wonderful cultural contribution to our District, the Nation 
and the world; now therefore, I,  Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do 
hereby proclaim April 26, 2014 as National Dance Week Foundation Day in 
the 4th Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 26th day of April, 2014.
