CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE S 5021
cola and a Bob Hope television special
totally devoted to the celebration of
this diamond anniversary.
For 75 years naval aviation has had
a proud heritage in the defense of this
country. A heritage that began back in
the days when the dream of an air-
plance taking off and landing on the
deck of a naval ship became a reality.
over the years, naval aviation has con-
tributed much to military history
through its participation in World
Wars I and II and the Korean and
Vietnam conflicts. It was a Navy air-
craft that made the first transatlantic
crossing. It was Navy aviators flying
off the decks of aircraft carriers that
served to turn the tide of the war in
the Pacific. Since that time, naval
aviation has continued to be a domi-
nant force in naval warfare.
Naval aviation has come a long way
since Capt. Washington Irving Cham-
bers prepared the requisition for the
Navy's first aircraft in 1911. I think it
is fitting that we now commemorate
those historic accomplishments. The
resolution I have introduced today is
identical to one which Representative
EARL HUTTO introduced in the House
of Representatives.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the text of the joint resolu-
tion I am introducing be printed in the
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
There being no objection, the joint
resolution was ordered to be printed in
the RECORD, as follows:
S.J. RES. 335
Whereas the official date of the founding
of the United States naval aviation is May 8,
1911, a date on which Captain Washington
Irving Chambers, a naval officer in charge
of naval aviation, prepared the requisition
for the Navy's first aircraft:
Whereas naval aviation has played it vital
role in the development of aviation technol-
ogy and space exploration;
Whereas naval aviation has contributed
much to military history through its partici-
pation in World Wars I and II, and the
Korean and Vietnam conflicts;
Whereas naval aviation remains a vital
force in our national security with aircraft
carrier presence in most oceans and approxi-
mately five thousand seven hundred and
twenty active, inventoried aircraft at sea
and at shore stations:
Whereas the naval aviation flight training
program has trained more than one hun-
dred and thirty-six thousand pilots since
1920; and
Whereas it is appropriate, on the day
marking the seventy-fifth anniversary of
the founding of naval aviation, that the
people of the United States and our friends
and allies throughout the world become
better acquainted with the history and ac-
complishments of naval aviation: Now.
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Rep-
resentatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That May 8, 1986. is
hereby designated as "Naval Aviation Day",
and the President is authorized and request-
ed to issue a proclamation calling upon the
people of the United States to observe such
day with appropriate ceremonies and activi-
ties.?
By Mr. GARN (for himself and
Mr. GLENN):
S.J. Res. 336. Joint resolution to ex-
press the sense of the Congress on rec-
ognition of the contributions of the
seven Challenger astronauts by sup-
porting establishment of a Children's
Challenge Center for Space Science: to
the Committee on Commerce, Science,
and Transportation.
CHILDREN'S CHALLENGE CENTER FOR SPACE
SCIENCE
? Mr. GARN. Mr. President, The re-
mains of the seven brave crew mem-
bers from Challenger have now left
the Kennedy Space Center, en route
to their final resting places. Once
again, we are reminded of their sacri-
fice, and of their courage and dedica-
tion to our Nation's Space Program
and the promise it holds for mankind's
future.
It is that vision and dream of the
future that lives on, and which serves
as the inspiration for the families of
the Challenger crew, as it should, for
all of us, to move forward with the re-
alization of that dream.
Last week, I had the privilege of vis-
iting once again with the families of
the Challenger Seven. They expressed
their feelings about the most appropri-
ate manner in which their loved ones
should be remembered and memorial-
ized. They outlined their plans to de-
velop a living memorial, at the John-
son Space Center in Houston. TX. It
would serve as a place where people.
especially young people?could gain an
understanding and appreciation for
the values of space exploration.
They met with Vice President BUSH,
who issued a statement of support for
their project: they met with Members
of the House of Representatives, and
Congressmen BROOKS, FUQUA, and AN-
DREWS introduced House Joint Resolu-
tion 607, which expresses the senti-
ment of the Congress in support of the
proposed Children's Challenge Center
for Space Science.
Today, my colleague Senator JOHN
GLENN and myself are introducing a
companion joint resolution to the
House measure, as well as a concur-
rent resolution, Senate Concurrent
Resolution 134, and urge our col-
leagues to support this resolution.
I ask unanimous consent that the
text of the joint resolution be printed
in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the joint
resolution was orderd to be printed in
the RECORD, as follows:
S.J. RES. 336
Whereas the crew of the space shuttle
Challenger was dedicated to stimulating the
interest of American children in space flight
and science generally;
Whereas the members of that crew gave
their lives trying to benefit the education of
American children;
Whereas a fitting tribute to that effort
and to the sacrifice of the Challenger crew
and their families is needed; and
Whereas an appropriate form for such
tribute would be to expand educational op-
portunities in science by the creation of a
censer ulal wiii over criiiuren ana Leachers
activities and information derived from
American space research: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Rep-
resentatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled. That it is the sense
of Congress that-
(1) a Children's Challenge Center for
Space Science should be established in con-
junction with NASA at the Johnson Space
Center as a living memorial to the seven
Challenger astronauts who died serving
their country and to other individuals who
gave their lives in exploration of the space
frontier. and
(2) the Federal Government should, along
with public and private organizations and
persons, cooperate in the establishment of
such a Center.?
