RECOGNIZING CONSTITUTION WEEK
______
HON. TOM RICE
of south carolina
in the house of representatives
Friday, September 3, 2021
Mr. RICE of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Constitution Week and the Theodosia Burr Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
It is a privilege and duty of the American people to commemorate the two hundred thirty-fourth anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America by the Constitutional Convention. As citizens of this great nation, we must reaffirm the ideals the Framers of the Constitution had in 1787.
Public Law 915 guarantees the issuing of a proclamation each year by the President of the Unites States of America designating September 17 through 23 as Constitution Week. It is fitting and proper to officially recognize this magnificent document and the anniversary of its creation.
Madam Speaker, I join the Theodosia Burr Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American people in recognizing September 17 through September 23, 2021 as Constitution Week and honor the Framers for their contributions.
