To designate the week of November 15 through 22 as

Whereas fishing and hunting continue to be a favorite
pastime of many Americans as the most popular outdoor

Whereas nearly 46,500,000 United States residents, more
than 25 percent of the United States population 16 years
and older, enjoyed some activity of fishing and
18,500,000 participated in hunting annually;
•HJ 341 IH
Whereas the annual rates of hunting and fishing-related inju-
ries declined markedly since 1984 due to hunter’s safety
education;
Whereas 50,749 hunting and fishing instructors educate over
650,000 sportsmen annually about safe, responsible, and
enjoyable recreation;
Whereas each State in the United States now has an agency
responsible for teaching safe hunting and fishing methods
in promoting hunting and fishing procedures and behav-
ior and important conservation practices;
Whereas hunter education programs develop hunters who act
safely and responsibly, help to reduce the incidence of
hunting and fishing related accidents and wildlife viola-
tions; and
Whereas designation of National Sportsmen’s Instruction
Week provides recognition of those involved with instruc-
tion and those serviced and benefited by such instruction
of safety education: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the week of November 15 through November 22 is
designated as ‘‘National Sportsmen’s Instruction Week’’
and the President is authorized and requested to issue a

nancial hardships resulting from their victimization;
Whereas there are 10,000 public and private agencies and or-
ganizations in the United States that are dedicated to
improving the plight of crime victims;
Whereas victims play an indispensable role in bringing of-
fenders to justice and thus preventing further violence;
Whereas law abiding citizens are deserving of rights, re-
sources, restoration, and rehabilitation;
Whereas victim service providers, counselors, and advocates
should enjoy full support from all public and private in-
stitutions, entities, and individuals in their efforts to
render critical assistance to those whom our Nation failed
to protect;
Whereas the Nation’s victims’ rights movement and allied
professions deserve recognition for their tireless efforts
on behalf of victims of crime and their struggle to reduce
senseless violence in America; and
Whereas whether measured in dollars, domestic tranquility,
dread, or death, crime represents the greatest threat to
Americans and America: Now, therefore, be it

SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that— 
(1) millions of Americans of all ages enjoy rec-
reational fishing, sport shooting, and hunting; 
(2) those millions of anglers, sport shooters, 
and hunters are the primary source of funding for 
Federal and State wildlife and habitat conservation 
and management; 
(3) lead and other types of traditional fishing, 
shooting, and hunting implements have been used by 
Americans for hundreds of years; 
(4) alternative forms of sinkers and fishing 
lures are considerably more expensive than those 
made of traditional materials; consequently, a ban 
on traditional fishing implements would decrease 
fishing participation and impose significant addi-
tional costs on millions of Americans who fish; 
(5) alternative forms of ammunition and ammu-
nition components are considerably more expensive 
than those made of traditional materials, and can be 
difficult if not impossible to obtain; consequently, a 
ban on traditional ammunition would decrease par-
ticipation in the shooting sports and impose signifi-
cant costs on the millions of American hunters and 
sport shooters;

JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating September 25, 1994, as ‘‘Gold Star Mothers

Whereas the services rendered to the United States by the
mothers of America have strengthened and inspired our
Nation throughout our history;
Whereas we honor ourselves and the mothers of America
when we revere and emphasize the role of the home and
the family as the true foundations of our Nation;
Whereas by doing so much for the home, the American moth-
er is a source of moral and spiritual guidance for the
people of the United States and thus acts as a positive
•HJ 346 IH
force to promote good government and peace among all
mankind;
Whereas the American Gold Star Mothers assist veterans of
the Armed Forces and their dependents in the presen-
tation of claims to the Veterans’ Administration, and aid
the men and women who served and died or were wound-
ed or incapacitated during hostilities; and
Whereas the American Gold Star Mothers have suffered the
supreme sacrifice of motherhood by losing sons and
daughters who served in the Armed Services, and thus

JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate July 23, 1994, as ‘‘General Bernardo de Galvez
Day’’.
Whereas few Americans have an appreciation of Spain’s role
and that of Spanish citizens in the American War of
Independence;
Whereas some of the missing pages of history of that fight
for freedom and independence have revealed the signifi-
cant contributions of Spain, and General Bernardo de
Galvez in particular, to American history;
Whereas there are strategically important accounts of Gen-
eral de Galvez who, having been appointed Governor of
the Louisiana Territory in 1777, sought to provide aid
•HJ 347 IH
and comfort to American freedom fighters with cattle,
money, munitions, uniforms, and other material;
Whereas General de Galvez, the youngest governor of the
Spanish colonies, personally led troops against the Brit-
ish, driving them out of the Louisiana Territory and the
Gulf of Mexico, assuring their surrender, and ultimately
helping to secure Washington’s final War of Independ-
ence victory at Yorktown;
Whereas General de Galvez is recognized as having played a
significant role in our young republic’s fight for freedom
and independence during the American Revolution;
Whereas his intervention on behalf of the American cause has
earned him a place in history as a friend of the American
people and a hero of the War of Independence;
Whereas General de Galvez was a vital player in the defense
of our great States of Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, and Texas and captured such cities as Pensa-
cola, Baton Rouge, Natchez, Mobile, San Antonio, and
Galveston to aid our young country, and for this reason
he should be so honored; and
Whereas General Bernardo de Galvez, a friend of the Amer-
ican people and a hero of the War of Independence, de-
serves renewed honors and national recognition, particu-
larly on July 23, his birthday: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives

That July 23 is designated as ‘‘General Bernardo de
