To authorize the President to issue a proclamation designating October 1993

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 6, 1993
Mr. MYERS of Indiana introduced the following joint resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
JOINT RESOLUTION
To authorize the President to issue a proclamation designat-
ing October 1993 as ‘‘National Spina Bifida Prevention
Month’’.
Whereas spina bifida is the most frequently occurring and
permanently disabling birth defect of newborns, occurring
in approximately one of every one thousand live births in
the United States;
Whereas the Spina Bifida Association of America supports
the United States Public Health Service’s recommenda-
tion that all women of child bearing age consume 0.4 mil-
ligram of folic acid daily in order to reduce the incidence
of spina bifida and other neural tube defects;
HJ 274 IH
Whereas between 1980 and 1989, 18,000 children were born
with spina bifida in the United States and of the number
of 13,500 have survived;
Whereas spina bifida is a birth defect resulting from the fail-
ure of the spine to close properly during the first month
of pregnancy;
Whereas although most of the March of Dimes and Easter
Seal poster children have spina bifida, many people
across this Nation have not heard of the defect and its
debilitating consequences for children;
Whereas only a few cities in the United States have proper
care centers and specialized professionals that can pro-
vide the most effective and aggressive treatment for chil-
dren and adults with spina bifida; and
Whereas an increase in the national awareness of spina bifida
may stimulate the interest and concern of the American
people, which may lead, in turn, to increased research
into the needs of individuals with spina bifida and the
prevention of spina bifida: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the month of October 1993 is designated ‘‘National
Spina Bifida Prevention Month’’, and the President is au-
thorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling
upon the people of the United States to observe that
month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

shall adopt a statement of receipts and outlays for that
year in which total outlays are not greater than total re-
ceipts. The Congress may amend such statement provided
revised outlays are no greater than revised receipts. When-
ever three-fifths of the whole number of both Houses shall
deem it necessary, Congress in such statement may pro-
vide for a specific excess of outlays over receipts by a vote
directed solely to that subject. The Congress and the

of their powers under the first and second articles, ensure
that actual outlays do not exceed the outlays set forth in
such statement.
‘‘SECTION 2. Total receipts for any fiscal year set
forth in the statement adopted pursuant to this article
shall not increase by a rate greater than the rate of in-
crease in national income in the year or years ending not
less than six months nor more than twelve months before
such fiscal year, unless a majority of the whole number
of both Houses of Congress shall have passed a bill di-
rected solely to approving specific additional receipts and
such bill has become law.

of this article for any fiscal year in which a declaration

ond fiscal year beginning after its ratification.

ment this article by appropriate legislation.’’.
