Designating January 16, 1993, as 'T^ational Good Teen Day". 
Whereas Salem City Schools in Salem, Ohio, have proclaimed Janu-
ary 16,1992, as "Good Teen Day"; 
Whereas there are more than twenty-four million teenagers in

Whereas our Nation's teenagers represent an important part of 
our society, and the many physical and emotional changes and 
character-building experiences which teenagers go through are 
an important concern;

have problems or those who excel; 
Whereas teenagers should not simply be recognized for their intel-
Ugence, abilities, skills and talents, but rather for the good which 
is inherent in all human beings; 
Whereas as imique individuals, teenagers are encouraged to esteem 
the good as well as the potential that is within each of them; 
Whereas a day should be created to focus on the positive qualities 
in America's youth; and 
Whereas teenagers are the future of this great country: Now, there-
fore, be it

Oct. 23, 1992 
Designating the week of April 18 through 24, 1993, as "National Credit 
[S.J. Res. 252] 
Education Week". 
Whereas consumer credit is an integral part of the free enterprise 
economy of the United States; 
Whereas the vast array of credit products has increasingly com-
plicated the problems and opportunities for consumers; 
Whereas the benefits consumers receive from using credit depend 
upon the prudent use of credit and the prompt discharge of 
credit obligations; 
Whereas educated consumers who know their choices, rights, and 
responsibilities are better able to use credit wisely, thus increas-
ing economic stability and marketplace competition; 
Whereas the increasing sophistication and complexity of the finan-
cial marketplace necessitates that consumers be given simple 
and understandable information about financial products in order 
to make informed decisions; and 
Whereas businesses, schools, community organizations, and individ-
uals should educate the people of the United States concerning 
consumer credit: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the week 
beginning April 18, 1993, is designated as "National Credit Edu-
cation Week , and the President is authorized and requested to 
issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States 
to observe the week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and

Whereas recognizing the value and importance of the customer 
drives the quahty of customer service; 
Whereas the high cost of attracting new customers today further 
emphasizes the need to keep existing customers through effective 
service; 
Whereas when customer service is recognized as contributing to 
the profit of a company, the professional status of customer service 
continues to increase; 
Whereas excellent customer service distinguishes successful compa-
nies that understand the importance and influence a customer 
has on success; and

Whereas medical authorities have established that walking— 
(1) powerfully protects against high blood pressure, choles-
terol problems, and other factors that can contribute to heart 
disease; 
(2) protects against adult onset (Type II) diabetes; 
(3) builds strong bones and protects against osteoporosis, 
the weak-bone disease that afflicts millions of older women; 
(4) probably ofiTers protection against several forms of can-
cer that are beHeved to be preventable through regular and 
moderate exercise; and 
(5) is a safe and dependable way for millions of overweight 
people to lose weight without stringent dieting; 
Whereas the failure to regular exercise such as walking has been 
identified as the single greatest risk factor for heart disease; 
Whereas the designation of "National Walking Week" will help 
promote the issue of pedestrian access and safety; 
Wnereas areas of America are becoming inaccessible or unsafe 
for walkers, so the benefits of this activity are being blocked; 
Whereas people should be able to walk anywhere in their commu-

Whereas walking encourages community spirit and safety: Now,

[H.J. Res. 529] 
Whereas the voyage of Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic 
Ocean in 1492 established permanent communications between 
the Eastern and the Western Hemispheres and launched the 
greatest migration of human beings in the history of the world; 
Whereas such voyage stimulated the first circumnavigation of the 
globe and other explorations that gave humankind its first genu-
ine understanding of the Earth's geography; 
Whereas such voyage inaugurated a new world that led to the 
formation of the United States; and 
Whereas the quincentenary of such voyage is an appropriate time 
for its commemoration by the planting of a grove of redwood 
trees from California on the northwest coast of Spain, facing 
the Atlantic Ocean, so that during the next 5 centuries, as the 
trees grow from seedlings to their full noble grandeur in the 
soil of the Eastern Hemisphere, they will give to each individual 
who visits them an experience of the awesome potentials and 
wondrous beauty of Creation and represent the hope for a future 
of growing friendship among the peoples of the Eastern and 
the Western Hemispheres: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of 
America in Congress assembled. That—

Whereas 180 years ago. Commodore Oliver Perry, an Irish-Amer-
