Whereas aviation plays a vital role in the everyday lives of Americans; Whereas the aviation industry makes important contributions to the economic development of the United States and its rapid growth has created a need for persons trained in the areas of aviation management, operations, and maintenance; Whereas the aviation industry has increasingly become more complex and technical and the future contributions of aviation to the United States are dependent upon an informed and educated public; Whereas it is important that schools within the United States actively encourage students to become interested in aviation theories and principles, particularly students that have often been underrepresented in technical fields relating to aviation such as women and minorities; and Whereas a number of States annually recognize the importance of aviation to our Nation and the value of encouraging students to study aviation: 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 October 3, 1993, is designated as ``National Aviation Education Week''. The President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. <all>
