Hi all...

Once again, in 1992, the US Congress & President Bush (The First)
honours Menachem Mendel Schneerson (the Lubavitcher Rebbe) and
promotes the "Seven Noahide Laws" as being the ethical values
and principles that have been the cornerstone of society since
the dawn of civilization.

Schneerson certainly had a powerful influence over the US Government,
and still does, even in death.

=====================================================================

Designating April 14, 1992, as `Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.'.
(Enrolled as Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate)

--H.J.Res.410--

H.J.Res.410

One Hundred Second Congress of the United States of America

AT THE SECOND SESSION

Begun and held at the City of Washington on Friday, the third day of
January,

one thousand nine hundred and ninety-two

Joint Resolution

Designating April 14, 1992, as `Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.'.

Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical values
and principles which are the basis of civilized society and upon which
our great Nation, the United States of America, was founded;

Whereas President George W. Bush, distinguished leader of our great
Nation, stated `Ethical values are the foundation for civilized
society. A society that fails to recognize or adhere to them cannot
endure.';

Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the cornerstone
of society since the dawn of civilization when they were known as the
Seven Noahide Laws;

Whereas the Government of the United States and its citizens are
committed to the ideals of social equality and the right of each and
every person to share in the bounty the world has to offer--ideals
deeply rooted in our Nation's history and boldly affirmed by the
miraculous changes of the past year;

Whereas our Nation has recently witnessed the beginning triumph of
these values through wonders around the world of biblical proportions;

Whereas the end of the Cold War heralds the beginning of an era where
individual rights and human dignity become paramount and where the
dream of a world in which material and spiritual deprivation is
replaced by human kindness and compassion becomes a reality;

Whereas the absolute necessity of mutual responsibility and concern
for the needy has been of particular concern to `the Rebbe', Rabbi
Menachem M. Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch movement;

Whereas the Lubavitch movement, through the establishment of over
1,000 social welfare and educational institutions throughout the world
under the leadership of `the Rebbe', has long supported and promoted
dedication to education and selfless concern for others;

Whereas Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson has recently issued a worldwide
call for a revitalized dedication to loving kindness, charity, and
sharing between man and his fellow man;

Whereas Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson is universally revered by all
faiths, respected as spiritual leader of world Jewry, and his 90th
birthday falls on April 14, 1992;

Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, `the Rebbe', his
birthday will be designated as `Education and Sharing Day U.S.A.' and
this year, his 91st, will mark a new beginning in an age-old
commitment to education, accompanied by an increase in general acts of
sharing with another, in order to return the world to the moral and
ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and

Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honor
signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state:
Now, therefore, be it

      Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, That April 14, 1992,
the birthday and the start of the 91st year of Rabbi Menachem Mendel
Schneerson, leader of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated
as `Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.'. The President is requested to
issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to
observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Vice President of the United States and

President of the Senate.
