Z1%OEREAS, on April 17, 1952, the Congress of the `united States approved the
Joint resolution to provide for setting aside an appropriate day as a National Day of
Prayer (Public Law 82-324;66 Stat. 64); and
Z1%OEREAS, the history of our nation is indelibly marked with the role that
prayer has played in the lives of individuals and the nation; and
'1 EREAS, historically, our greatest leaders have turned to prayer in times of
crisis and thanksgiving; and

sorrows and fears, remorse and renewed resolve, thanks and joyful praise, and love; and
Z1%OEREAS, Way 1 has been deemed by Congress as the National Day of
Prayer, when all-Americans are to pray, in their own religious way, for the leaders of our
nation,
NOW, EREEORE, I, Wicah Cawley, Wayor of the City of Yakima and on

"NATIONAL DAT OE WYER"
