RESOLUTION
Designating the week of April 21 through April 27, 2003, as ``National
Cowboy Poetry Week''.
Whereas throughout American history, cowboy poets have played a large part in
framing the landscape of the American West through written and oral
poetry;
Whereas the endurance of these tales and poems demonstrates that cowboy poetry
is still a living art;
Whereas recognizing the contributions of these poets dates as far back as
cowboys themselves; and
Whereas it is necessary to recognize the importance of cowboy poetry for future
generations: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates that week of April 21 through April 27,
2003, as ``National Cowboy Poetry Week''; and
(2) requests the President to issue a proclamation calling
upon the people of the United States to celebrate the week with
the appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
