United States education systems; 
Whereas Charles Darwin is a worthy symbol of scientific ad-
vancement on which to focus and around which to build 
a global celebration of science and humanity intended to 
promote a common bond among all of Earth’s peoples; 
and 
Whereas February 12, 2013, is the anniversary of the birth 
of Charles Darwin in 1809 and would be an appropriate 
date to designate as Darwin Day: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of Darwin Day; 
and 
(2) recognizes Charles Darwin as a worthy sym-
bol on which to celebrate the achievements of reason, 
science, and the advancement of human knowledge.
