Whereas there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Uni-

Designating the week beginning November 14, 1993, and the week beginning

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. KILDEE (for himself and Mr. GOODLING) introduced the following joint
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil
Service
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating the week beginning November 14, 1993, and
the week beginning November 13, 1994, each as ‘‘Geog-
raphy Awareness Week’’.
Whereas geography is the study of people and their planet,
offering a framework for understanding ourselves, our
interdependence with other peoples, our relationship to
the Earth, and world events;
Whereas the United States has both worldwide involvements
and influence that demand an understanding of geog-
raphy, different cultures, and foreign languages;
•HJ 197 IH
Whereas the credibility of our Nation’s foreign policy largely
depends on the support of a geographically informed citi-
zenry, which understands both the locations and the sig-
nificance of historic changes occurring around the globe
and their effect on the United States;
Whereas a thorough knowledge of geography, different cul-
tures, and foreign languages is essential to maintain the
Nation’s stature in the international community in mat-
ters of business, politics, the environment, and global
events;
Whereas a geographic perspective is needed to understand
the relationship between human activity and the condi-
tion of our planet in this time of increasing environ-
mental problems;
Whereas geography is only beginning to return to the curric-
ula of American schools, the subject is a core element of
the curricula of schools in the United Kingdom, Canada,
Japan, and most other countries;
Whereas our Nation’s Governors, in their National Goals for
Education, explicitly identified geography along with
English, mathematics, science, and history as the 5 core
subjects in which American students should demonstrate
competency;
Whereas world standards are being developed as benchmarks
for student performance in each of the core subjects iden-
tified in the National Goals for Education;
Whereas geography is more than the study of map identifica-
tion, State capitals, and country names, but geography
also gives meaning to location and establishes a context
for understanding the connections among peoples, places,
and events; and
•HJ 197 IH
Whereas national attention must be focused on the integral
role that a knowledge of world geography plays in prepar-
ing citizens of the United States to assume a responsible
role in the future of an increasingly interconnected and
interdependent world: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the week beginning November 14, 1993, and the
week beginning November 13, 1994, each be designated
as ‘‘Geography Awareness Week’’, and the President is
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling
upon the people of the United States to observe such a
week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

which was referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating the week of November 15 through 22, 1993,
as the ‘‘National Sportsmen’s Instruction Week’’.
Whereas fishing and hunting continue to be a favorite pas-
time of many Americans as the most popular outdoor tra-
ditions;
Whereas nearly 46,500,000 United States residents, more
than 25 percent of the United States population 16 years
and older, enjoy some activity of fishing and 18,500,000
participate in hunting annually;
•HJ 198 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 and women annually about safe, re-
sponsible, 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 in-
struction and those serviced and benefited by such in-
struction 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 22, 1993, is des-
ignated as ‘‘National Sportsmen’s Instruction Week’’, and
the President is authorized and requested to issue a proc-
lamation calling upon all Government agencies and the
people of the United States to observe such week with ap-
