JOINT RESOLUTION

Designating May 30, 1994, through June 6, 1994, as a

‘‘Time for the National Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War II’’.

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 American 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, 1994, marks the anniversary of the Battle

of Midway, and June 6, 1994, marks the anniversary of

D-Day: 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 May 30, 1994, through June 6, 1994, is designated

4 as a ‘‘Time for the National Observance of the Fiftieth

5 Anniversary of World War II’’, and the President is au6 thorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on

7 the people of the United States to observe that period with

8 appropriate ceremonies and activities.
