                            JOINT RESOLUTION

 
Designating the week of June 1, 1993, through June 7, 1993, as a ``Week 
 for the National Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War 
                                 II''.

Whereas the brave men and women of the United States made tremendous sacrifices 
        during World War II to save the world from tyranny and aggression;
Whereas the winds of freedom and democracy sweeping the globe today spring from 
        the principles for which over four hundred thousand Americans gave their 
        lives in World War II;
Whereas World War II and the events that led up to that war must be understood 
        in order that we may better understand our own times, and more fully 
        appreciate the reasons why eternal vigilance against any form of tyranny 
        is so important;
Whereas the World War II era, as reflected in its family life, industry, and 
        entertainment, was a unique period in American history, and epitomized 
        our Nation's philosophy of hard work, courage, and tenacity in the face 
        of adversity;
Whereas, between 1991 and 1995, over nine million United States veterans of 
        World War II will be holding reunions and conferences and otherwise 
        commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of various events relating to 
        World War II; and
Whereas June 4, 1993, marks the anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of 
        Midway, and June 6, 1993, marks the anniversary of D-Day: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week of June 1, 1993, 
through June 7, 1993, is designated as a ``Week for the National 
Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War II'', and the 
President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling 
on the people of the United States to observe the week with appropriate 
ceremonies and activities.

                                 <all>
