                            JOINT RESOLUTION

 
    Designating December 7 of each year as ``National Pearl Harbor 
                           Remembrance Day''.

Whereas, on December 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy and Air Force attacked 
        units of the armed forces of the United States stationed at Pearl 
        Harbor, Hawaii;
Whereas more than 2,000 citizens of the United States were killed and more than 
        1,000 citizens of the United States were wounded in the attack on Pearl 
        Harbor;
Whereas the attack on Pearl Harbor marked the entry of the United States into 
        World War II;
Whereas the veterans of World War II and all other people of the United States 
        commemorate December 7 in remembrance of the attack on Pearl Harbor; and
Whereas commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor will instill in all people 
        of the United States a greater understanding and appreciation of the 
        selfless sacrifice of the individuals who served in the armed forces of 
        the United States during World War II: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That December 7 of each year 
is designated as ``National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day'' and the 
President is authorized and requested--
            (1) to issue annually a proclamation calling on the people 
        of the United States to observe the day with appropriate 
        ceremonies and activities; and
            (2) to urge all Federal agencies, and interested 
        organizations, groups, and individuals, to fly the flag of the 
        United States at halfstaff each December 7 in honor of the 
        individuals who died as a result of their service at Pearl 
        Harbor.
