nesses large and small, and volunteering in communities
demonstrate daily the successes people with Down Syn-
drome are able to achieve: Now, therefore, be it

JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating the week beginning November 7, 1993, as
‘‘National Women Veterans Recognition Week’’.
Whereas there are more than 1,200,000 women veterans in
the United States representing 4.6 percent of the total
veteran population;
Whereas the number of women serving in the United States
Armed Forces and the number of women veterans con-
tinue to increase;
Whereas women veterans have contributed greatly to the se-
curity of the United States through honorable military
service, often involving great hardship and danger;
Whereas the special needs of women veterans, especially in
the area of health care, have often been overlooked or in-
adequately addressed by the Federal Government;
Whereas the lack of attention to the special needs of women
veterans has discouraged or prevented many women vet-
erans from taking full advantage of the benefits and serv-
ices to which they are entitled; and
Whereas designating a week to recognize women veterans will
help both to promote important gains made by women
veterans and to focus attention on the special needs of
women veterans: Now, therefore, be it
