Designating January 16, 1994, as "National Good Teen Day".

Whereas Salem City Schools in Salem, Ohio, have proclaimed January 16, 1992, as "Good Teen Day";

Whereas teenagers are the future of this great country: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That January 16, 1994, is designated as "National Good Teen Day", and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe such day by recognizing the teenagers of the United States and by participating in appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., retired in 1977 as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Southern Railways, where he also had served as Vice President of Law and President, and was responsible for revamping the corporation's management style, planning, and long-term focus, and for making the railroad one of the largest and most successful in the Nation;

Whereas W.

Graham Claytor, Jr., for a lifetime of dedication and superb service to this Nation, for his willingness to assume major new public challenges at a time when his peers had long ago retired, for his ability to profoundly change the course of events, from the lives of the sailors of the U.S.S. Indianapolis to the preservation of national rail passenger service, and for his brilliant stewardship of Amtrak over the past decade.
