IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
November 10, 1999
Mr. LIEBERMAN submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding Freedom Day.
Whereas on November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall was torn down by those whom it had imprisoned;
Whereas the fall of the Berlin Wall has become the preeminent symbol of the end of the Cold War;
Whereas the Cold War, at its essence, was a struggle for human freedom;
Whereas the end of the Cold War was brought about in large measure by the dedication, sacrifice, and discipline of Americans
and many other peoples around the world united in their opposition to Soviet Communism;
Whereas freedom's victory in the Cold War against Soviet Communism is the crowning achievement of the free world's long 20th
century struggle against totalitarianism; and
Whereas it is highly appropriate to remind Americans, particularly those in their formal educational years, that America paid the
price and bore the burden to ensure the survival of liberty on this planet: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) a Freedom Day should be celebrated each year in the United States; and
(2) the United States should join with other nations, specifically including those which liberated themselves to help
end the Cold War, to establish a global holiday called Freedom Day.
