numbers of children are the victims of homicide;
Whereas the proliferation of gun violence represents a signifi-
cant public health crisis;

conceived, in December 1993, of a gun-exchange program
called Goods For Guns, which swept thousands of guns
off the streets of New York City;
•HJ 422 IH
Whereas this program received widespread media attention
and launched a grassroots movement of similar programs
across the United States, resulting in the collection and
destruction of tens of thousands of guns;
Whereas Goods For Guns programs are privately funded and
are administered by local law enforcement authorities;
Whereas Goods For Guns programs are nonpartisan and rep-
resent private-sector innovation for the public good;
Whereas, given the recent passage of legislation to ban the
future manufacture and sale of semiautomatic assault
weapons, Goods For Guns programs are a means to per-
manently remove these weapons from the streets;
Whereas Goods For Guns programs help to eradicate sense-
less street violence that claims human lives;
Whereas December is a month of holidays filled with love,
gift-giving, and reflection; and
Whereas the original Goods For Guns program was conceived
in the spirit of the holidays and out of love for mankind:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That December 1994 is designated as ‘‘Goods For Guns
Month’’, and the President is authorized and requested
