  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 a unique opportunity for 
our nation to showcase the different musicians, writers, producers, 
promoters, performers and dancers who have contributed to making Dance 
a heavyweight in the industry of entertainment around the world; and
  Whereas, today we celebrate the kickoff of National Dance Week in the 
Fourth Congressional District by witnessing performers showcase Dance 
to our community; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Susan Winfrey Dupar of Covington, Georgia serves as an 
Ambassador for the National Dance Week Foundation, is promoting and 
instructing the young and old in dancing, she is giving of herself to 
make a difference in the lives of others. 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 a 
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 22, 2016 as National Dance Week Foundation Day in 
the 4th Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 22nd day of April, 2016.
