  Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I would like to submit the 
following proclamation:

[[Page E1223]]

   Whereas, it is the privilege and duty of the American people to 
commemorate the two hundred and twenty-ninth anniversary of the 
drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America by the 
Constitutional Convention; and
   Whereas, it is fitting and proper to officially recognize this 
magnificent document and the anniversary of its creation; and
   Whereas, public law 915 guarantees the issuing of a proclamation 
each year by the President of the United States of America designating 
September 17 through 23 as Constitution Week;
   Now, therefore, I, Tom Rice, by virtue of the authority vested in me 
as Representative of the Seventh District of the State of South 
Carolina, do hereby proclaim September 17 through 23, 2016 to be 
Constitution Week and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals the 
Framers of the Constitution had in 1787.

                          ____________________
