          SUBJECT:  National Day of the Cowboy.


          SUMMARY:  Recognizes July 25, 2015, as the National Day of the  
          Cowboy, and encourages the people of the State of California to  
          observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.   
          Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)The cowboy traditions have been part of the American landscape  
            and culture since 1523; and, today's cowboys and cowgirls  
            continue to strive to serve and to preserve and perpetuate  
            this unique element of America's heritage.

          2)The cowboy archetype transcends gender, generations,  
            ethnicity, geographic boundaries, and political affiliation.

          3)Cowboys helped establish America's frontiers and are an  
            important part of the current economy through the work of  
            approximately 656,500 ranches in all 50 states.
          FISCAL EFFECT:  None
