Committee on Post Office and Civil Service discharged, considered and agreed

to

RESOLUTION

To declare that July 28, 1994, be recognized as Parents

Day.

Whereas the values of sacrificial love and integrity are fundamental in developing the moral character essential to

maintaining a strong Nation;

Whereas parents by their example of sacrifical love and the

transmission of moral and cultural values play a crucial

and determinant role in the development of youth;

Whereas time has demonstrated that the traditional American family is the most stable and secure environment in

which parents can successfully rear future generations;

HRES 236 ATH

Whereas the current breakdown of the traditional American

family is a major factor contributing to the rise of crime,

teen pregnancy, educational failure, substance abuse, and

suicide among our Nation’s youth; and

Whereas it is in the interest of society and government to

adopt policies, that help families stay together by

strengthening and sustaining fathers and mothers in fulfilling their parental roles: Now, therefore, be it

1 Resolved, That on Parents Day, July 28, 1994, all

2 private citizens, organizations and governmental and legis3 lative bodies at the local, State and Federal level are en4 couraged in recognize this day through proclamations, ac5 tivities and educational efforts in the furtherance of rec6 ognizing, uplifting and supporting the role of parents in

7 the rearing of their children.
