Committee on Post Office and Civil Service discharged; considered and passed
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating May 30, 1994, through June 6, 1994, as a
‘‘Time for the National Observance of the Fiftieth Anni-
versary of World War II’’.
Whereas the brave men and women of the United States of
America made tremendous sacrifices during World War
II to save the world from tyranny and aggression;
Whereas the winds of freedom and democracy sweeping the
globe today spring from the principles for which over four
HJ 315 CPH
hundred thousand Americans gave their lives in World
War II;
Whereas World War II and the events that led up to that war
must be understood in order that we may better under-
stand our own times, and more fully appreciate the rea-
sons why eternal vigilance against any form of tyranny
is so important;
Whereas the World War II era, as reflected in its family life,
industry, and entertainment, was a unique period in
American history and epitomized our Nation’s philosophy
of hard work, courage, and tenacity in the face of adver-
sity;
Whereas, between 1991 and 1995, over nine million Amer-
ican veterans of World War II will be holding reunions
and conferences and otherwise commemorating the fif-
tieth anniversary of various events relating to World War
II; and
Whereas June 4, 1994, marks the anniversary of the Battle
of Midway, and June 6, 1994, marks the anniversary of
D-Day: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That May 30, 1994, through June 6, 1994, is designated
as a ‘‘Time for the National Observance of the Fiftieth
Anniversary of World War II’’, and the President is au-
thorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on
the people of the United States to observe that period with
appropriate ceremonies and activities.
