A HOUSE RESOLUTION COMMEMORATING THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF SESAME STREET.
Whereas, for 25 years, the children of North Carolina have gotten to know such characters as Big Bird, Cookie Monster, the Count, Bert, and Ernie by tuning in to Sesame Street, a quality educational program for preschoolers; and
Whereas, Sesame Street helps to stimulate children's natural curiosity and their love of learning by introducing them to reading and reasoning using a diverse curriculum; and
Whereas, Sesame Street is the most effective children's program in television history; and
Whereas, Sesame Street has received 85 major awards, including 51 Emmys, and is watched weekly in more than 11 million households nationwide and is the most widely viewed children's series in the world;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
Section 1.  The House of Representatives commemorates the twenty-fifth anniversary of Sesame Street and commends the North Carolina Center for Public Television for providing this and other quality educational programming to North Carolina's children and their families.
Sec. 2.  The Principal Clerk shall transmit a copy of this resolution to the North Carolina Center for Public Television.
