To designate the month of May 1990, as "National Trauma Awareness Month'. 
Whereas more than eight million individuals in the United States 
suffer traumatic injury each year; 
Whereas traumatic injury is the leading cause of death of individ-
uals less than forty-four years of age in the United States; 
Whereas every individual is a potential victim of traumatic injury; 
Whereas traumatic injury often occurs without warning; 
Whereas traumatic injury frequently renders its victims incapable 
of caring for themselves; 
Whereas past inattention to the causes and effects of trauma has led 
to the inclusion of trauma among the most neglected medical 
conditions; 
Whereas the people of the United States spend more than 
$110,000,000,000 on the problem of trauma; 
Whereas the problem of trauma can be remedied only by prevention 
and treatment through emergency medical services and trauma 
systems; and 
Whereas the people of the United States must be educated in the 
prevention and treatment of trauma and in the proper and effec-
tive use of emergency medical systems: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That May 1990 is des-
ignated as "National Trauma Awareness Month", and the President

Whereas water itself is God-given, and the drinking water that flows 
dependably through our household taps results from the dedica-
tion of the men and women who operate the public water systems 
of collection, storage, treatment, testing, and distribution that 
insures that drinking water is available, affordable, and of un-
questionable quality; 
Whereas the advances in health effects research and water analysis 
and treatment technologies, in conjunction with the Safe Drink-
ing Water Act Amendments of 1986 (Public Law 99-339), could 
create major changes in the production and distribution of drink-
ing water; 
Whereas this substance, which the public uses with confidence in so 
many productive ways, is without doubt the single most important 
product in the world and a significant issue of the future; 
Whereas the public expects high-quality drinking water to always be 
there when needed; and 
Whereas the public continues to increase its demand for drinking 
water of unquestionable quality: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That the period commenc-
ing on May 6, 1990, and ending on May 12, 1990, is designated as

drinking water issues and public recognition of the difference that 
drinking water makes to the health, safety, and quality of the life 
we enjoy.
