In 1991, under President George H W Bush, the US Congress again
pays tribute to the "great spiritual leader" Rabbi Menachem Mendel
Schneerson, and the seven Noahide Laws and upon which the "great
Nation" of the USA was apparently founded.

Was there any informed public discussion or reporting of the Congress
designating "Education Day, U.S.A.", or the "great spiritual
leader"
and the "seven Noahide Laws"?

To designate March 26, 1991, as `Education Day, U.S.A.'. (Enrolled as
Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate)

--H.J.Res.104--

H.J.Res.104

One Hundred Second Congress of the United States of America

AT THE FIRST SESSION

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

one thousand nine hundred and ninety-one

Joint Resolution

To designate March 26, 1991, as `Education 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 was founded;

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

Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of
civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos;

Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of
these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and
threaten the fabric of civilized society;

Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the
citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit
these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the
generations of the future;

Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these ethical
values and principles throughout the world;

Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch
movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty-ninth
birthday falls on March 26, 1991;

Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, `the rebbe', this,
his ninetieth year will be seen as one of `education and giving', the
year in which we turn to education and charity 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 March 26, 1991,
the start of the ninetieth year of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, leader
of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as `Education 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.
