JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate the months of April 1993 and 1994 as
‘‘National Child Abuse Prevention Month’’.
Whereas the incidence and prevalence of child abuse and ne-
glect have reached alarming proportions in the United
States;
•HJ 68 IH1S
Whereas an estimated four million children become victims of
child abuse in this Nation each year;
Whereas an estimated five thousand of these children die as
a result of such abuse each year;
Whereas the Nation faces a continuing need to support inno-
vative programs to prevent child abuse and assist parents
and family members in which child abuse occurs;
Whereas Congress has expressed its commitment to seeking
and applying solutions to this problem by enacting the
Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974;
Whereas many dedicated individuals in public welfare agen-
cies and in private organizations, including Child Help
U.S.A., Parents Anonymous, the National Committee for
the Prevention of Child Abuse, the American Humane
Association, and other members of the National Child
Abuse Coalition, are working to counter the ravages of
abuse and neglect by helping child abusers break this de-
structive pattern of behavior and by helping to prevent
child abuse in the next generation through special pro-
grams for abused children; and
Whereas it is appropriate to focus the attention of the Nation
upon the problem of child abuse: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the months of April, 1993 and 1994, are designated

JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate the period commencing February 7, 1993, and
ending February 13, 1993, and the period commencing
February 6, 1994, and ending February 12, 1994, as
‘‘National Burn Awareness Week’’.
Whereas the burn problem in the United States is one of the
worst of any industrialized nation in the world;
Whereas burn injuries are one of the leading causes of acci-
dental death in the United States today;
Whereas every year over 2,000,000 people are victims of
some form of burn injury in the United States alone, and
•HJ 69 IH
children account for between one-third and one-half of
this total;
Whereas of these injuries, over 70,000 are hospitalized and
account 
for 
9,000,000 
disability 
days 
and 
over
$1,000,000,000 in direct costs annually;
Whereas over 6,000 people die from burn injuries annually,
and the rehabilitative and psychological impact of burns
is devastating;
Whereas young children are in the highest risk group suffer-
ing from hot liquid burns and injuries caused by child
fire play and fire setting;
Whereas older adults and the disabled are also at great risk
and extremely susceptible to burn injuries;
Whereas burn survivors often face years of costly reconstruc-
tive surgery and extensive physical and psychological re-
habilitation in overcoming disabilities and fears of rejec-
tion by family members, friends, coworkers, schoolmates,
and the public in general;
Whereas it is estimated that approximately 75 percent of all
burn injuries and deaths could be prevented by a com-
prehensive national educational and awareness campaign
and by changes in the design and technology of homes
and consumer products;
Whereas a general public awareness of the need for smoke
detectors and home fire escape plans, in combination with
an understanding of the risk associated with items in the
home environment, can cause a reduction of injuries and
loss of life; and
Whereas there is a need for an effective national program
that deals with all aspects of burn injuries and on the
prevention thereof: Now, therefore, be it
•HJ 69 IH
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

the enemy and held as prisoners of war;
Whereas many such prisoners of war were subjected to brutal
and inhumane treatment by their captors in violation of
international codes and customs for the treatment of
prisoners of war and died, or were disabled, as a result
of such treatment; and
Whereas the great sacrifices of such prisoners of war and
