Committee on Post Office and Civil Service discharged; considered and passed
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating November 1, 1994, as ‘‘National Family
Literacy Day’’.
Whereas millions of American families are trapped in a cycle
of poverty, dependency, and undereducation;
Whereas research shows that the most important factor in
determining the life chances of a child is the level of edu-
cational attainment of the parents of the child;
Whereas a child whose parents lack a high school diploma are
more than twice as likely to live in poverty than a child
whose parents are high school graduates;
