Summary
Urges: (1) men to understand the level of responsibility fathering a child requires, especially in the encouragement of academic, moral, and spiritual development; (2) mothers to encourage fathers to play an active role in child-rearing; and (3) American institutions, and government entities at every level, to promote public policies that encourage and support the efforts of, and remove barriers to, responsible fatherhood. Recognizes the need to encourage active involvement of fathers in the rearing and development of their children. Encourages each father to devote time, energy, and resources to his children, recognizing that children need not only material support, but even more importantly, a secure and nurturing family environment. Commends the millions of fathers who serve as wonderful, caring parents for their children, while also recognizing that there are children who will have no one with whom to celebrate on Father's Day. Calls on fathers across the Nation to use Father's Day to reconnect and rededicate themselves to their children's lives, to spend Father's Day with their children, and to express their love and support for their children.
