Whereas the brave men and women of the United States of

To designate the week beginning March 7, 1993, as ‘‘National Manufacturing
Week’’.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 27, 1993
Mr. VALENTINE (for himself and Mr. LEWIS of Florida) introduced the follow-
ing joint resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Post Office
and Civil Service
JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate the week beginning March 7, 1993, as
‘‘National Manufacturing Week’’.
Whereas, throughout the history of the United States, manu-
facturing has contributed substantially to the economic
well-being of the Nation;
Whereas manufacturing is an essential yet often overlooked
component of the economic foundation of the United
States;
Whereas a strong manufacturing industry contributes to con-
tinued growth, prosperity, and high-paying jobs in every
other sector of the national economy;
•HJ 83 IH
Whereas 
manufacturing 
directly 
employs 
more 
than
18,000,000 workers, and at least 18,000,000 workers in
the service sector depend on a sound manufacturing sec-
tor for their jobs;
Whereas manufacturing accounts for many of the highest
paying jobs in the economy, and manufacturing wages
are 20 percent higher on the average than non-manufac-
turing wages;
Whereas, in the 1980’s, manufacturing increased from 20 to
23 percent of the gross national product, and manufac-
turing productivity in the last decade has increased at an
annual rate of 3.6 percent, 3 times faster than the rate
at which non-manufacturing activity has increased;
Whereas the quality revolution has been 1 of the most impor-
tant factors contributing to the recent resurgence of
manufacturing in the United States;
Whereas manufacturing is an important source of tax reve-
nue for the Federal Government, and State and local
governments;
Whereas the continued leadership of the United States in
science and technology is inherently linked to the success
of manufacturing;
Whereas manufactured goods account for more than 80 per-
cent of the trade deficit of the United States, indicating
that manufacturing is especially important to overall na-
tional competitiveness and international trade;
Whereas a sound manufacturing economy is an essential pre-
condition for a strong national defense;
Whereas the school children of the Nation should be educated
about job opportunities in manufacturing; and
•HJ 83 IH
Whereas the people of the United States should be educated
about the importance of manufacturing to the economy,
the international competitiveness, and the standard of liv-
ing of the Nation, and about the challenges and changing
nature of manufacturing: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the week beginning March 7, 1993, is designated as
‘‘National Manufacturing Week’’, and the President is au-
thorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on
the people of the United States to observe the week with

Mrs. JOHNSON of Connecticut introduced the following joint resolution; which
was referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating March 1, 1993, through March 5, 1993, as
‘‘National Saleswoman Week’’.
Whereas half of all sales positions are filled by women, in-
cluding over two-thirds of the retail sales force;
Whereas veteran saleswomen can teach new saleswomen ef-
fective strategies for successful careers;
Whereas the average earnings of saleswomen increased by 43
percent between 1983 and 1990;
Whereas there are associations which help saleswomen net-
work, learn sales skills, share ideas, take advantage of
job banks, and offer support to each other; and
HJ 85 IH
Whereas local chapters of such associations regularly hold
seminars, workshops, and meetings to further the profes-
sional lives of women already in sales and marketing and
those considering such careers: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That March 1, 1993, through March 5, 1993, is des-

To designate the weeks of September 19, 1993 through Sep-
tember 25, 1993, and of September 18, 1994 through
September 24, 1994 as ‘‘National Rehabilitation Week’’.
Whereas the designation of a week as ‘‘National Rehabilita-
tion Week’’ gives the people of this Nation an oppor-
tunity to celebrate the victories, courage, and determina-
tion of individuals with disabilities in this Nation and
recognize dedicated health care professionals who work
daily to help such individuals achieve independence;
HJ 86 IH
Whereas there are significant areas where the needs of such
individuals with disabilities have not been met, such as
certain research and educational needs;
Whereas half of the people of this Nation will need some
form of rehabilitation therapy;
Whereas rehabilitation agencies and facilities offer care and
treatment for individuals with physical, mental, emo-
tional, and social disabilities;
Whereas the goal of the rehabilitative services offered by such
agencies and facilities is to help disabled individuals lead
active lives at the greatest level of independence possible;
and
Whereas the majority of the people of this Nation are not
aware of the limitless possibilities of invaluable rehabilita-
tive services in this Nation: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That—
(1) the week of September 19, 1993 through
September 25, 1993, and of September 18, 1994
through September 24, 1994, as ‘‘National Rehabili-
tation Week’’ and the President is authorized and
requested to issue a proclamation calling on the peo-
ple of the United States to observe such week with
appropriate ceremonies and activities, including edu-
cational activities to heighten public awareness of
the types of rehabilitative services available in this
HJ 86 IH
Nation and the manner in which such services im-
prove the quality of life of disabled individuals; and
(2) each State governor, and each chief execu-
tive of each political subdivision of each State, is
urged to issue a proclamation (or other appropriate
official statement) calling upon the citizens of such
State or political subdivision of a State to observe
such week in the manner described in paragraph (1).

Designating October 1993 as ‘‘National School Attendance Month’’.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 2, 1993
Mr. MCNULTY introduced the following joint resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating October 1993 as ‘‘National School Attendance
Month’’.
Whereas a child’s values are acquired and cultivated in large
part through education, the love and support the child re-
ceives in the home, and through interaction with peers,
family, and others;
Whereas child psychologists and educators believe that depri-
vation of love and affection at home adversely influences
a child’s academic studies and school attendance;
Whereas school absenteeism is a reflection of a child’s poor
self-esteem, and such absenteeism impacts adversely upon
a child’s ability to acquire the social skills that are vital
•HJ 87 IH
to effective interaction with other people in the academic
setting and outside world;
Whereas such social impairments usually lead to chronic ab-
senteeism which, in turn, frequently produce high school
dropouts with reduced earning power and steadily in-
creasing levels of frustration;
Whereas individuals unable to secure or keep a steady job be-
come prone to the enticements of criminal elements and
often violently act out their frustrations; and
Whereas schools play a major role in helping to develop desir-
able citizenship skills and an understanding of commu-
nity responsibility in their students, and such schools are
more desirable and economically more productive than
corrective programs: 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 hereby designated as
‘‘National School Attendance Month’’, and the President
is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation—
(1) urging parents, teachers, and students to
recognize the importance of school attendance for all
children,
(2) encouraging parents and teachers to do ev-
erything in their power to help assure a perfect at-
tendance record for all children, and
(3) calling upon the people of the United States
to observe such month with appropriate ceremonies
and activities.

Whereas Dr. Alice Stokes Paul was one of the key leaders of

Whereas in 1913 Dr. Paul founded the National Woman’s

Whereas in 1923 Dr. Paul authored the Equal Rights
