Joint Resolution 
Authorizing and requesting the President of the United States to issue a proclama-
tion designating the seven calendar days beginning October 7, 1979, as National 
Port Week". 
Whereas United States coastal and inland ports make a direct and 
significant contribution to our national economic well-being; and 
Whereas much of the history of the United States has been shaped 
by its ports and interconnecting inland waterways and greatly 
influenced the growth of various communities; and 
Whereas ports, in serving United States waterbome commerce, 
generate significant employment and direct dollar income to the 
local and regional economies they serve, as well as have major 
impact on employment and production in areas far distant from 
their location; and 
Whereas United States ports provide a wide variety of services and 
activities essential to the smooth and efficient conduct of foreign 
trade and have a direct impact on our balance of payments; and 
Whereas American ports are a vital asset in maintaining a strong 
posture in national security: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President 
of the United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclama-
tion designating the seven-day period beginning October 7,1979, as 
"National Port Week" and to invite the Governors of the several
