Recognizing the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath
and supporting the establishment of a National Tartan Day to recognize
the outstanding achievements and contributions made by Scottish Ameri-
cans to the United States.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 29, 2001
Mrs. THURMAN (for herself, Mr. ABERCROMBIE, Mr. BALLENGER, Mr.
BLAGOJEVICH, Mr. FROST, Mr. MCINTYRE, and Mr. OSE) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Government
Reform
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration
of Arbroath and supporting the establishment of a Na-
tional Tartan Day to recognize the outstanding achieve-
ments and contributions made by Scottish Americans
to the United States.
Whereas April 6 has a special significance for Americans of
Scottish descent, and for all Americans, because the Dec-
laration of Arbroath, the Scottish Declaration of Inde-
pendence, was signed on April 6, 1320, and the American
Declaration of Independence was modeled after that in-
spirational document;
•HRES 109 IH
Whereas Scottish Americans have played a major role in the
founding of this Nation, nearly half of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent, the
Governors of 9 of the original 13 States were of Scottish
descent, and Scottish Americans have successfully helped
shape this country in its formative years and guide this
Nation through its most troubled times;
Whereas Scottish Americans have made invaluable contribu-
tions that have led to America’s preeminence in the fields
of science, technology, medicine, government, politics, ec-
onomics, architecture, literature, media, and visual and
performing arts;
Whereas there are more than 200 organizations throughout
the United States that honor Scottish heritage, tradition,
and culture, representing the hundreds of thousands of
Americans of Scottish descent, residing in every State,
who already recognize and observe Tartan Day on April
6; and
Whereas these numerous individuals, clans, societies, clubs,
and fraternal organizations do not let the great contribu-
tions of the Scottish people go unnoticed: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That—
(1) the House of Representatives recognizes the
historical significance of the anniversary of the sign-
ing of the Declaration of Arbroath; and
(2) there should be established a National Tar-
tan Day to recognize the outstanding achievements
