Joint Resolution 
To authorize and request the President to issue a proclamation designating the 
calendar week beginning May 12, 1975, as "National Historic Preservation 
Week". 
Whereas the two hundredth anniversary of the founding of this 
Republic approaches; and 
Whereas an indispensable element of the strength, the freedom and 
the constructive world leadership of this Nation is the knowledge 
and appreciation of our origins and history, of who we are, where 
we are, and how we arrived there; and 
Whereas the houses where we have lived, the buildings where we 
have worked, the streets we have walked for more than three 
hundred years are as much a part of our heritage as the wisdom 
of the Founding Fathers and the works of art which succeeding 
generations of Americans have bequeathed to us; and 
Whereas these buildings and places, great and humble, not only are 
our roots, but are also sources of pride in our past achievements 
and enrich our lives today; and 
Whereas historic preservation today involves much more than period 
rooms in house museums, but means, rather, that old homes, public 
buildings, hotels, taverns, theaters, industrial buildings, churches, 
and commercial structures can be saved and put to contemporary 
use as living history to be treated with respect and incorporated 
within our planning as our towms and cities grow to provide the 
citizens of this Nation with an environment of quality and enduring 
interest: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved iy the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the President is author-
ized and requested to issue a proclamation— 
(1) designating the calendar week beginning May 12, 1975, 
as "National Historic Preservation Week"; and 
(2) urging Federal, State, and local government agencies, as 
well as citizens and private organizations, especially the preserva-
tion organizations, historical societies, and related groups, to 
observe that week with educational efforts, ceremonies, and other 
appropriate activities which— 
(a) are designed to call public attention to the urgent need 
to have our historic landmarks for the enjoyment and edifi-
cation of the citizens of this Nation, present and future; and 
(b) will demonstrate lasting respect for this unique 
heritage.
