Joint Resolution 
Designating the week beginning on November 11, 1984, as "National Blood Pressure 
Oct. 11, 1984 
Awareness Week". 
[S.J. Res. 260] 
Whereas diseases resulting from hypertension cause needless mor-
tality and morbidity which can be reduced if hypertension is 
discovered through blood pressure screening; 
Whereas sixty million Americans are hypertensive; 
Whereas hypertension is a major factor in five hundred thousand 
strokes and one hundred and seventy-five thousand stroke-related 
deaths annually as well as more than one million five hundred 
thousand heart attacks and five hundred and sixty-seven thou-
sand heart attack-related deaths annually; 
Whereas twenty-nine million workdays, representing $2,000,000,000 
in earnings, are lost each year because of cardiovascular diseases; 
Whereas the risk of the major cardiovascular diseases is directly 
related to hypertension and even mild elevation in blood pressure 
may result in substantial risk of illness; 
Whereas much of the 30 per centum reduction in mortality between 
1970 and 1980 for stroke, hypertension heart disease and other 
cardiovascular system disease can be partially attributed to in-
creased awareness and better control of blood pressure; and 
Whereas increased blood pressure screening will identify greater 
numbers of Americans at risk for hypertension-related cardiovas-
cular disease and encourage these Americans to seek treatment to 
control their blood pressure: 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 
on November 11, 1984, is hereby designated as "National Blood 
Pressure Awareness Week", and the President is authorized and 
requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the 
United States to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies 
and activities.
