Whereas the Act of March 2, 1887 (24 Stat. 440), as amended,

commonly known as the Hatch Act of 1887, has fostered the 
development of a system of State agricultural experiment stations 
in conjunction with our Nation's land-grant colleges and univer-
sities and made possible original research and scientific studies 
that have provided information on the application of scientific 
knowledge to farming, rural development, conservation of natural 
resources, and rural life; 
Whereas the Hatch Act of 1887 has contributed greatly to the 
increased efficiency and productivity of United States agriculture, 
our Nation's leading industry, and in establishing research as a 
function of the land-grant colleges and universities; 
Whereas the establishment of the national system of State agricul-
tural experiment stations was one of the most important steps to 
ensure the continued development and training of personnel de-
voted to scientific research and original investigations in agri-
culture and the education of new research workers necessary to 
push back the frontiers of knowledge in agriculture; 
Whereas the contributions of the State agricultural experiment 
stations to fundamental knowledge in agriculture have been 
substantial and their positive effect on improving the quality of 
life in the United States remarkable; and 
Whereas the national system of State agricultural experiment sta-
tions has provided a foundation on which similar research pro-
grams in forestry, animal health, and home economics could be 
built: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That it is the sense of the 
Congress that the State agricultural experiment station research

To designate January 28, 1987, as "National Challenger Center Day" to honor the

Whereas the members of the Challenger crew gave their lives trying 
to benefit the education of American children; 
Whereas a fitting tribute to that effort and to the sacrifice of the 
Challenger crew and their families is needed;

educational opportunities in science by the creation of a center 
that will offer children and teachers activities and information 
derived from American space research; and 
Whereas the Challenger Center is the only institution expressly 
estabUshed by the immediate families of the crew of the Chal-
lenger for the above-named purposes, and is intended to be the 
living expression of the Nation's commemoration of the Chal-
lenger crew: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United

plishments of the Challenger crew by continuing their goal of 
the expansion of interest and ability in space and science 
education; and 
(2) with other appropriate ceremonies and activities.

[H.J. Res. 10] 
Where£is January 25, 1987, marks the bicentennial of the final 
uprising in western Massachusetts of Daniel Shays and his men, 
during a period of unrest in the years following the Revolutionary 
War; 
Whereas the landowners of western Massachusetts felt they were 
unduly burdened because money was scarce, taxes were high, 
punishments for debts were severe, and the government was 
unresponsive; 
Whereas Shays led the dissatisfied landowners in a series of attacks 
to stop debt procedures in local courts; 
Whereas on January 25, 1787, a major confrontation occurred in 
Springfield when the militia wounded, killed, and caught several 
of Shays' rebels as they stormed the arsenal; 
Whereas the uprisings of Shays' Rebellion exposed the problems in 
the existing form of government to the people of America and 
prompted a meeting of delegates in Philadelphia to correct the 
weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation; and 
Whereas Shays' Rebellion was instrumental in bringing about the 
writing of the Constitution of the United States: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United

January 19, 1987, is designated as "Shays' Rebellion Week" and
