self-worth, are deserving of the highest praise and recognition; and
WHEREAS, From time to time, society calls upon these individuals and
institutions to be recognized for the significance of their contrib-
utions and efforts to assist others in developing the skills necessary
to be successful citizens; and
WHEREAS, New York State has recognized for many years the importance
of a quality educational system and its relationship to the economic and
social well-being of all its citizens; an important part of every school
curriculum should be a thorough, comprehensive preparatory program that
aids students in the process of career selection; and

resources to prepare students for vital contributing roles as citizens
of this Nation; New York schools continually strive for improvement in
their programs and services; and

ration Program (ASVABCEP) is a comprehensive career aptitude evaluation
and development program which is available to schools free of cost; and

students, parents and school officials; the availability of this effec-
tive career counseling service, at no cost, makes the ASVABCEP a desira-
ble part of this State's overall education system; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
