human race;
Whereas the 1st International Women’s Day observances
were held in the United States and Europe in the begin-
ning of the 20th century, at a time when the overwhelm-
ing majority of women throughout the world lived in pov-
erty and lacked the right to vote and other basic legal

Whereas International Women’s Day recognizes that, despite

illiterate people, and constitute an average of only 11
percent of the members of national parliaments and legis-

Whereas International Women’s Day acknowledges the con-

Mr. SHAW introduced the following joint resolution; which was referred to the

To designate the month of April 1994 as ‘‘Civil War History
Month’’.
Whereas the period of American history known as the ‘‘Civil

Whereas the continuous growth of the public’s awareness of

part of America’s cultural heritage;
Whereas the study, preservation, and interpretation of lit-
erature and sites associated with this period are
imbedded in the educational and cultural heritage of our

Whereas the beginning of the Civil War occurred in April of
1861 with the firing on Fort Sumter in Charleston,
South Carolina, and the effective ending of the Civil War
occurred in April of 1865 with the surrender of the Army
of Northern Virginia at Appomattox, Virginia, making
April the most important month of the year in Civil War
history; and
Whereas the heritage of the Civil War deserves the attention

Means
JOINT RESOLUTION
Directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to
propose to the Congress, not later than May 18, 1994,
possible solutions to the impending deficit in the Federal
Disability Insurance Trust Fund.
Whereas the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund estab-
lished under title II of the Social Security Act is expected
to run out of money by the end of 1995;
Whereas the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund paid
in 1992 more than $31,000,000,000 in benefits and these
payments are expected to increase dramatically in the
future;
•HJ 319 IH
Whereas solutions are needed to replenish the Federal Dis-
ability Insurance Trust Fund prior to the end of 1995;
Whereas taking money out of the Federal Old-Age and Survi-
vors Insurance Trust Fund is not an acceptable solution;
Whereas taking money out of the general fund of the Treas-
ury, thereby adding to the deficit, is not an acceptable so-
lution; and
Whereas a lack of action could negatively impact the Federal
Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund affecting
its over 36,000,000 beneficiaries: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall,
as soon as possible after the enactment of this Joint Reso-
lution, conduct a study of the factors threatening the sol-
vency of the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund and
shall, not later than May 18, 1994, submit a report to
each House of the Congress setting forth the results of
such study, together with proposals of possible solutions
