                            JOINT RESOLUTION

 
    Designating October 29, 1994, as ``National Firefighters Day''.

Whereas there are over 2,000,000 firefighters in the United States;
Whereas firefighters respond to more than 2,300,000 fires and 8,700,000 
        emergencies other than fires each year;
Whereas fires annually cause nearly 6,000 deaths and $10,000,000,000 in property 
        damages;
Whereas firefighters have given their lives and risked injury to preserve the 
        lives and protect the property of others;
Whereas the contributions and sacrifices of valiant firefighters often go 
        unreported and are inadequately recognized by the public; and
Whereas the work of firefighters deserves the attention and gratitude of all 
        individuals in the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That October 29, 1994, is 
designated as ``National Firefighters Day'', and the President of the 
United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
calling upon the people of the United States to observe the day with 
appropriate ceremonies and activities.
