July 30, 2012 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATE S5689 

policies and programs that provide flexibility to employees in unique circumstances; 

Whereas studies report that family rituals, 

such as sitting down to dinner together and 

sharing activities on weekends and holidays, 

positively influence the health and development of children and that children who eat 

dinner with their families every day consume nearly a full serving more of fruits and 

vegetables per day than those who never eat 

dinner with their families or do so only occasionally; and 

Whereas the month of October is an appropriate month to designate as National Work 

and Family Month: Now, therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the Senate— 

(1) designates October 2012 as ‘‘National 

Work and Family Month’’; 

(2) recognizes the importance of work 

schedules that allow employees to spend 

time with their families to job productivity 

and healthy families; 

(3) urges public officials, employers, employees, and the general public to work together to achieve more balance between 

work and family; and 

(4) calls upon the people of the United 

States to observe National Work and Family 

Month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
