and raising economic confidence throughout America; 
Whereas the construction of between one million four hundred 
thousand and one million six hundred thousand housing starts in 
1983—a dramatic increase from 1982—will create millions of

related industries, billions in wages and billions in tax revenue for 
local, State and Federal governments; 
Whereas an upturn in home sales and housing production has 
triggered every economic recovery since World War II;

Whereas homeownership and decent housing instill pride and con-
tribute to the stability and vitality of communities throughout 
America;

ment to housing and homeownership as a national priority and to

FHJ Res 321F 
Whereas September 3, 1983, commemorates a day of unique signifi-
cance in the history of our Nation; 
Whereas on September 3, 1783, the American Peace Commission-
ers—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay—signed a 
Definitive Treaty of Peace with David Hartley, the representative 
of George the Third, the King of Great Britain, in the city of Paris; 
Whereas on the same day another treaty between Great Britain and 
America's ally France and cobelligerent Spain was signed at 
Versailles, and witnessed by the American Peace Commissioners; 
Whereas the signing of the Definitive Treaty with Great Britain 
signified to the world that these former thirteen British colonies 
with the invaluable assistance of the Government and citizens of 
France had emerged from the great war of the American Revolu-
tion as an independent Nation, the United States of America, 
confirmed in its sovereignty over a vast extent of territory; 
Whereas the ratification of the Definitive Treaty of Peace by the 
Congress of the Confederation on January 14, 1784, in Annapolis, 
Maryland, inaugurated an era of peace for the new Nation which 
made possible the experimentation in self-government which led 
to the adoption of the Constitution of the United States of Amer-
ica on September 17,1787; 
Whereas since that historic day two hundred years ago, the United 
States of America has survived as a free Nation, ever mindful of 
the blessings that liberty and peace have brought: Now, therefore,
