Whereas both the United States Congress and the President

of the United States have proclaimed January 16, 1993,

and January 16, 1994, as ‘‘National Good Teen Day’’;

Whereas there are more than twenty-four million teenagers in

the United States according to the 1990 census;

Whereas our Nation’s teenagers represent an important part

of our society, and the many physical and emotional

changes and character-building experiences which teenagers go through are an important concern;

Whereas it is easy to stereotype teenagers as either those who

have problems or those who excel;

Whereas teenagers should not simply be recognized for their

intelligence, abilities, skills and talents, but rather for the

good which is inherent in all human beings;

Whereas as unique individuals, teenagers are encouraged to

esteem the good as well as the potential that is within

each of them;

Whereas a day should be created to focus on the positive

qualities in America’s youth; and

Whereas teenagers are the future of this great country: Now,

therefore, be it

1 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives

2 of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

3 That January 16, 1995, is designated ‘‘National Good

4 Teen Day,’’ and the President is authorized and requested

5 to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United

6 States to observe such day by recognizing the teenagers
