JULY 26 (legislative day, JULY 20), 1994
Received; read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating August 2, 1994, as ‘‘National Neighborhood
Crime Watch Day’’.
Whereas neighborhood crime is of continuing concern to the
American people;

to work together in cooperation with law enforcement
officials;
Whereas neighborhood crime watch organizations are effec-
tive at promoting awareness about, and the participation
of volunteers in, crime prevention activities at the local
level;
•HJ 374 RFS
Whereas neighborhood crime watch groups can contribute to
the Nation’s war on drugs by helping to prevent their
communities from becoming markets for drug dealers;
and
Whereas citizens across America will soon take part in a
‘‘National Night Out’’, a unique crime prevention event
which will demonstrate the importance and effectiveness
of community participation in crime prevention efforts by
having people spend the period from 9 to 10 o’clock
postmeridian on August 2, 1994, with their neighbors in
front of their homes: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

borhood Crime Watch Day’’, and the President is author-
ized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon
