Mr. CONYERS introduced the following joint resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating May 25, 1995, as ‘‘National Tap Dance Day’’.
Whereas the multifaceted art form of tap dancing is a mani-
festation of the cultural heritage of our Nation, reflecting
the fusion of African and European cultures into an ex-
emplification of the American spirit that should be,
through documentation and archival and performance
support, transmitted to succeeding generations;
Whereas tap dancing has had a historic and continuing influ-
ence on other genres of American art, including music,
vaudeville, Broadway musical theater, and film, as well as
other dance forms;
Whereas tap dancing is perceived by the world as a uniquely
American art form;
Whereas tap dancing is a joyful and powerful aesthetic force
providing a source of enjoyment and an outlet for creativ-
•HRES 370 IH
ity and self-expression for Americans on both the profes-
sional and amateur level;
Whereas it is in the best interest of the people of our Nation
to preserve, promote, and celebrate this uniquely Amer-
ican art form;
Whereas Bill ‘‘Bojangles’’ Robinson made an outstanding
contribution to the art of tap dancing on both stage and
film through the unification of diverse stylistic and racial
elements; and
Whereas May 25, as the anniversary of the birth of Bill
‘‘Bojangles’’ Robinson, is an appropriate day on which to
refocus the attention of the Nation on American tap
dancing: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That May 25, 1995, is designated ‘‘National Tap Dance
Day’’. The President is authorized and requested to issue
a proclamation calling upon the people of the United
States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies

Mr. POMBO introduced the following joint resolution; which was referred to

JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating June 10, 1995, as ‘‘Portuguese American
Friendship Day’’.
Whereas history has shown that Portugal has always felt a
universal destiny and a calling to establish a vast network
of relationships beyond Europe;
Whereas June 10, Portugal’s National Day, celebrates the
life and work of the 16th century poet Luis Vaz de
Camo˜es of Portugal, whose work extols the courage and
exploits of Portuguese explorers who sailed to points be-
yond the horizon;
Whereas thousands of Portuguese have embarked on their
own voyages to the United States, and today over
2,000,000 Americans are able to trace their ancestry to
Portugal;
•HJ 371 IH
Whereas Portuguese Americans have distinguished them-
selves as honest, hard-working, patriotic, and family-ori-
ented;
Whereas Portuguese Americans have achieved an important
place in American culture through their participation in
the arts, commerce, academics, sports, politics, and reli-
gion;
Whereas Portugal and the United States have had friendly
and cordial relations since American independence;
Whereas Portugal and the United States continue to work to-
gether, cooperating through their membership in the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization, to promote peace
and to adapt to the challenges of a changing world in
light of the lifting of the Iron Curtain;
Whereas Portugal and the United States have a relationship
based on mutual respect and a sharing of interests and
ideals, particularly a deeply held commitment to demo-
cratic values; and
Whereas it is appropriate to designate a national day to
honor Portuguese Americans and celebrate the unique
contributions they have made throughout the history of
the United States and to honor the Portuguese people
and their national day: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That June 10, 1995, is designated as ‘‘Portuguese Amer-

To achieve needed savings in net Federal expenditures under the milk price

To achieve needed savings in net Federal expenditures under

SEC. 2. FINDINGS, PURPOSES, AND STATEMENT OF POLICY.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) milk and dairy products are vital compo-
nents of a balanced diet and have high nutritive
value, and the production of milk and dairy products
is an important segment of the Nation’s agricultural
industry;
(2) an effective Federal milk price support pro-
gram is needed to ensure consumers of a reliable
and adequate supply of pure and wholesome milk
and dairy products at reasonable prices, to respond
adequately to current and anticipated future supply
and demand problems, and to ensure a level of farm
income adequate to maintain productive capacity
sufficient to meet anticipated future needs;
(3) the effectiveness of the current Federal milk
price support program is being diminished and the
economic stress on milk producers increasing due to
the growing demands made on milk producers to
provide funds for reduction of the Federal budget
deficit through direct levies and similar measures in-
cluded in budget reconciliation Acts;
(4) milk producers are being asked to pay more
and more in budget reconciliation levies, while the
economic pressures being placed on the milk produc-
tion industry continue to squeeze them financially;
