Joint Resolution
To authorize the President to issue a proclamation designating the week beginning on March 11, 1984, as “National Surveyors Week.”
Whereas the Congress of the United States recognizes the valuable contributions of the surveying profession to history, development, and quality of life in the United States of America;
Whereas the surveying profession requires special education, training, experience, and knowledge of the principles of mathematics, the related physical and applied sciences, and requirements of law for adequate evidence; and
Whereas, since the early days of our Nation when many of our forefathers, including our first and third Presidents, were surveyors, the profession of surveying has continued to be uniquely qualified to determine and describe land and water boundaries for the management of our natural resources and the protection of private property rights: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the President is hereby authorized and requested to issue a proclamation designating the week beginning on March 11, 1984, as “National Surveyors Week” and to urge the people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies and activities paying tribute to professional surveyors and their contribution to society.
Approved November 30, 1983.
