RESOLUTION

Designating September 17, 2003, as ``Constitution Day''.

Whereas the Constitution of the United States of America was signed on September
17, 1787, by 39 delegates from 12 States;
Whereas the Constitution was subsequently ratified by each of the original 13
States;
Whereas the Constitution was drafted in order to form a more perfect Union,
establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty for the citizens of the United States;
Whereas the Constitution has provided the means and structure for this Nation
and its citizens to achieve a level of prosperity, liberty, security,
and justice that is unparalleled among nations;
Whereas the Constitution's contributions to the welfare of the human race reach
far beyond the borders of the United States;
Whereas the Senate continues to strive to preserve and strengthen the values and
rights bestowed by the Constitution upon the United States of America
and its citizens; and
Whereas the preservation of such values and rights in the hearts and minds of
American citizens would be advanced by official recognition of the
signing of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate:
(1) designates September 17, 2003, as ``Constitution Day'';
and
(2) calls upon the people of the United States to observe
the day with appropriate ceremonies and respect.
