                               RESOLUTION


 
 Recognizing the 202d anniversary of the adoption of the Great Seal of 
                         the State of Missouri.

Whereas, on January 11, 1822, the General Assembly of the State of Missouri 
        adopted an Act providing for the Great Seal of the State of Missouri;
Whereas this Act established a symbol of the State of Missouri for the people of 
        Missouri;
Whereas the two bears symbolize the strength of the State and the bravery of its 
        people;
Whereas the Seal declares ``United We Stand, Divided We Fall'';
Whereas the scroll on the Seal contains the State's motto, ``Salus Populi 
        Suprema Lex Esto'', which means ``Let the welfare of the people be the 
        supreme law''; and
Whereas this symbol encompasses those characteristics which make the State of 
        Missouri and its people unique: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the 202d 
anniversary of the adoption of the Great Seal of the State of Missouri.
