     WHEREAS, in light of the current social unrest brought about by crime, poverty, racial strife, and illegal drug use, and the disruption brought about by various natural disasters, America needs prayer now more than ever before; and

     WHEREAS, in 1988, legislation setting aside the first Thursday in May of each year as a National Day of Prayer was passed unanimously by both Houses of Congress and signed by President Ronald Reagan:

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the members of the Missouri House of Representatives of the Eighty-eighth General Assembly, the Senate concurring therein, hereby unanimously join with private citizens and public officials around the nation in observing May 2, 1996, as the National Day of Prayer, and further urge all Missourians to support this observance in ways appropriate to its importance and significance; and
