Whereas many Americans have devoted much time and energy for advancing the cause of theatre; and Whereas the theatres of America have pioneered the way for many performers and have given them their start in vaudeville and stage; and Whereas theatre is brought to Americans through high schools, colleges, and community theatre groups as well as through professional acting companies; and Whereas citizens of America have been called upon to support the theatre arts in the Nation's interest; and Whereas many individuals and organizations are hailing the strength and vitality of the theatres of America: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That the week of June 3 through June 9, 1984, shall be designated "National Theatre Week" and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people, and all citizens are urged to support this effort with assistance to theatres throughout the country.
