Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical val-
ues and principles which are the basis of civilized society and
upon which our great Nation, the United States of America,
was founded;
Whereas President Greorge W. Bush, distinguished leader of our
great Nation, stated "Ethical values are the foundation for civ-
ilized society. A society that fails to recognize or adhere to them

known as the Seven Noahide Laws;

are committed to the ideals of social equaUty 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 eind human dignity become para-
mount and where the dream of a world in which material and
spiritual deprivation is replaced by human kindness and compas-
sion becomes a reality;

for the needy has been of particular concern to "the Rebbe",
Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch move-
ment;

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 revitaUzed 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 spiritusJ 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
