Whereas knowledge, wisdom, and children are the greatest assets of a democracy;
Whereas books enable one generation to pass on its knowledge and wisdom to the
next;

its children;
Whereas children most often choose mysteries as their favorite books;
Whereas the Mystery Writers of America sponsors Kids Love a Mystery, an outreach
program designed to bring mystery writers and children together to
encourage literacy and the love of reading; and
Whereas the Mystery Writers of America recognizes the value in celebrating the
importance of reading for children: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Kids Love a Mystery is a program that helps promote
literacy and reading and should be supported and encouraged;
and
(2) the President should issue a proclamation encouraging
the people of the United States and interested groups to
promote Kids Love a Mystery with appropriate programs and
activities.
