Mr. CONYERS submitted the following joint resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
JOINT RESOLUTION
To provide for the issuance of a commemorative postage
stamp in honor of Louis ‘‘Satchmo’’ Armstrong.
Whereas Louis ‘‘Satchmo’’ Armstrong overcame great pov-
erty and social disadvantage to become an internationally
renowned musician;
Whereas Louis Armstrong, a symbol of twentieth century
American culture, was substantially responsible for the
popularity of jazz, which is both an American art form
and a National treasure;
Whereas 
the 
unique 
creative 
talent 
and 
innovative
improvisational style of Louis Armstrong transformed
jazz and inspired generations of jazz musicians;
HJ 15 IH
Whereas Louis Armstrong was undoubtedly the greatest horn
player of his day, as well as one of the leading trumpet
players of all time and one of America’s foremost musical
ambassadors;
Whereas Louis Armstrong has influenced more horn players
than any other musician in the history of jazz, and this
influence has helped perpetuate the art form of jazz;
Whereas the accomplishments of Louis Armstrong as a musi-
cal and technical virtuoso on the trumpet were a mile-
stone in the evolution of jazz-form ensemble ragtime into
an interpretive musical art;
Whereas Louis Armstrong, as an African-American musician,
made groundbreaking advances in the integration of the
performing arts during a career which lasted over five
decades; and
Whereas the unwavering dedication of Louis Armstrong to
his craft serves as an inspiration for all Americans and
a reminder of the important contributions of African-
Americans to American culture: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Postmaster General shall issue a commemorative
postage stamp in honor of Louis ‘‘Satchmo’’ Armstrong.
Such a stamp shall be issued and sold for such period as
the Postmaster General shall determine.

Designating the week beginning January 2, 1994, as
‘‘National Law Enforcement Training Week’’.
Whereas law enforcement training and the sciences related to
law enforcement are critical to the immediate and long-

Whereas law enforcement training serves the hard-working

Whereas it is essential that the people of the United States
be able to enjoy an inherent right of freedom from fear
and to learn of the significant contributions that law en-
forcement trainers have made to ensure that right;
Whereas, to take advantage of the opportunities that law en-
forcement provides, it is vital to build and maintain a

Whereas, since the arrival of the first German immigrants to

Pennsylvania, German-Americans have made significant
contributions to the quality of life in the United States;
Whereas German-Americans are proud of the existing friend-
ship and cooperation between the Federal Republic of
Germany and the United States, of which the German-

Whereas German-Americans pledge their unconditional sup-
port for further expansion of the existing friendship be-
tween Germany and the United States and will continue
to contribute to the culture of the United States, support

of the United States; and
Whereas the Congress unanimously passed joint resolutions
