Supporting National Civility Week, Inc. in its efforts to restore civility,
honesty, integrity, and respectful consideration in the United States.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 25, 1999
Mr. LANTOS (for himself, Mr. SAWYER, and Mr. LAHOOD) submitted the fol-
lowing resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Government
Reform
RESOLUTION
Supporting National Civility Week, Inc. in its efforts to
restore civility, honesty, integrity, and respectful consid-
eration in the United States.
Whereas our civilization is founded upon the values of hon-
esty, courtesy, and respectful consideration among its
citizens;
Whereas we seek to teach and reaffirm these fundamental
values of civility;
Whereas a lack of civility in recent years has become fright-
eningly apparent, as seen in media tales of road rage and
school violence, of personal deceit and public corruption;
Whereas common courtesy has become bewilderingly uncom-
mon;
•HRES 134 IH
Whereas a large part of many Americans’ behavior can be
traced to a failure to honor the codes of civil conduct that
have governed society for many generations;
Whereas the teaching of courtesy has declined while the cele-
bration of vulgarity and effrontery has increased;
Whereas many Americans have ceased to honor the good ex-
amples that surround them;
Whereas, in this context, too many people find it easy to
manifest disrespect for other age groups, races, and reli-
gions;
Whereas National Civility Week, Inc. is a nonpartisan and
nonprofit corporation devoted to reintroducing civility in
our Nation;
Whereas National Civility Week, Inc. has established the
third week of September as National Civility Week in an
effort to reaffirm society’s commitment to adhere to well-
established rules of civil conduct;
Whereas National Civility Week will honor those who practice
common decency and simple honesty; and
Whereas National Civility Week will draw attention to the be-
haviors and standards that we respect as a people, and
will celebrate the conduct that ties together the threads
of our social fabric: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports
these efforts to restore civility, honesty, integrity, and re-
spectful consideration in the United States.
