                               RESOLUTION

 
 Expressing support for the designation of the week of April 28, 2024, 
 through May 4, 2024, as ``National Small Business Week'' to celebrate 
   the contributions of small businesses and entrepreneurs in every 
                    community in the United States.

Whereas a ``National Small Business Week'' has been declared by every President 
        since 1963;
Whereas there are more than 33,000,000 small businesses in the United States 
        that support more than 62,000,000 jobs;
Whereas small businesses play an integral role in building the economy of the 
        United States; and
Whereas April 28, 2024, through May 4, 2024, would be an appropriate week to 
        celebrate ``National Small Business Week'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) honors and celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit and 
        contributions of small businesses in every community in the 
        United States;
            (2) applauds the efforts and achievements of the owners of 
        small businesses and their employees in every community of the 
        United States;
            (3) recognizes that, in the face of significant challenges, 
        the owners of small businesses have demonstrated incredible 
        resilience; and
            (4) supports the designation of the week of April 28, 2024, 
        through May 4, 2024, as ``National Small Business Week''.
                                 <all>
