IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
October 7, 2004
Mr. CAMPBELL (for himself, Mr. HATCH, Mr. DEWINE, and

RESOLUTION
Designating December 13, 2004, as National
Day of the Horse and encouraging the people of the United States to be mindful
of the contribution of horses to the economy, history, and character of the
United States.
Whereas the horse is a living link to the history of
the United States;
Whereas without horses, the economy, history, and
character of the United States would be profoundly different;
Whereas horses continue to permeate the society of
the United States, as witnessed on movie screens, on open land, and in our own
backyards;
Whereas horses are a vital part of the collective
experience of the United States and deserve protection and compassion;
Whereas because of increasing pressure from modern
society, wild and domestic horses rely on humans for adequate food, water, and
shelter; and
Whereas the Congressional Horse Caucus estimates that
the horse industry contributes much more than $100,000,000,000 each year to the
economy of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the
Senate--
(1) designates December 13, 2004, as `National
Day of the Horse', in recognition of the importance of horses to the
security, economy, recreation, and heritage of the United
States;
(2) encourages all people of the United States
to be mindful of the contribution of horses to the economy, history, and
character of the United States; and
(3) requests that the President issue a
proclamation calling on the people of the United States and interested
organizations to observe the day with appropriate programs and
activities.
