tv_txt: IV 113th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 253 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 6, 2013 Mr. Enyart submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of the night of June 6, 2013, as National Drive-in Movie Night to recognize the 80th anniversary of the drive-in movie theatre.

Whereas Richard Hollingshead, Jr., developed and patented the design for the drive-in movie theatre still in use worldwide today; Whereas Hollingshead was the builder and proprietor of the world’s first drive-in theatre in Camden, New Jersey; Whereas Hollingshead has become known as the father of the uniquely United States form of family recreation and entertainment known as the drive-in movie theatre; and Whereas June 6, 2013, is the 80th anniversary of the first exhibition of a film at that theatre in 1933 and would be an appropriate date to designate as National Drive-in Movie Night ; Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the designation of National Drive-in Movie Night ; (2) recognizes the historical significance of the 80th anniversary of Richard Hollingshead’s achievement; (3) recognizes the drive-in movie theatre as a uniquely United States form of family recreation and entertainment; and (4) calls upon the people of the United States to observe such a night with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and activities.
