To designate the Kern River as a national wild and scenic river. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled. That section 3(a) of 
the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1274(a)) is amended by 
adding the following new paragraphs at the end: 
"( 
) (A) NORTH FORK KERN RIVER, CALIFORNIA.—The segment of 
the main stem from the Tulare-Kern County line to its headwaters 
in Sequoia National Park, as generally depicted on a map entitled 
'Kern River Wild and Scenic River—Proposed' and dated June, 
1987; to be administered by the Secretary of Agriculture; except that 
portion of the river within the boundaries of the Sequoia National 
Park shall be administered by the Secretary of the Interior. With 
respect to the portion of the river segment designated by this 
paragraph which is within the boundaries of Sequoia National Park, 
the requirements of subsection (b) of this section shall be fulfilled by 
the Secretary of the Interior through appropriate revisions to the 
general management plan for the park, and the boundaries, classi-
fication, and development plans for such portion need not be pub-
lished in the Federal Register. Such revision to the general manage-

park lands shall be undertaken that is inconsistent with the des-
ignation of such river segment. 
"(B) SOUTH FORK KERN RIVER, CALIFORNIA.—The segment from its 
headwaters in the Inyo National Forest to the southern boundary of

Home Health Care Week". 
[S.J. Res. 98] 
Whereas organized home health care services to the elderly and 
disabled have existed in this country since the last quarter of the 
eighteenth century; 
^ 
i 
Whereas home health care, including skilled nursing services, phys-
ical therapy, speech therapy, social services, occupational therapy, 
health counseling and education, and homemaker-home health 
> 
aide services, is recognized as an effective and economical alter' 
native to unnecessary institutionalization; 
Whereas caring for the ill and disabled in their homes places 
emphasis on the dignity and independence of the individual 
receiving such services; 
Whereas the Federal Government has supported home health serv-
ices since the enactment of the medicare program, with the 
number of home health agencies providing services increasing 
from less than five hundred to more than five thousand; and 
Whereas many private, public, and charitable organizations provide 
these and similar services to millions of patients each year 
preventing, postponing, and limiting the need for institutionaliza-
tion and enabling such patients to remain independent: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the week of 
November 29, 1987 through December 5, 1987, is designated as 
"National Home Health Care Week", and the President is au-
thorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe the week with appropriate

[S.J. Res. 53] 
Whereas American Indians were the original inhabitants of the 
lands that now constitute the United States; 
Whereas American Indians have made a unique and essential con-
tribution to the United States; 
Whereas the people of the United States should be reminded of the 
assistance American Indians provided to the Founding Fathers of

[S.J. Res. 97] 
To designate the week beginning November 22, 1987, as "National Adoption Week". 
Whereas Thanksgiving week has been commemorated as "National 
Adoption Week" for the past ten years; 
Whereas we in Congress recognize the essential value of belonging 
to a secure, loving, permanent family as every child's basic right; 
Whereas approximately fifty thousand children who have special 
needs—school age children, children within sibling groups, chil-
dren who are members of minorities, or children with physical, 
mental, or emotional handicaps—are now in foster care or institu-
tions financed at public expense and are legally free for adoption; 
Whereas the adoption by capable parents of these institutionalized 
or foster care children into permanent, adoptive homes would 
insure the opportunity for their continued happiness and long-
range well-being; 
Whereas public and private barriers inhibiting the placement of 
these special needs children must be reviewed and removed where 
possible to assure these children's adoption; 
Whereas the public and prospective parents must be informed of the 
availability of adoptive children; 
Whereas a variety of media, agencies, adoptive parent and advocacy 
groups, civic and church groups, businesses, and industries will 
feature publicity and information to heighten community aware-
ness of the crucial needs of waiting children; and 
Whereas the recognition of Thanksgiving week as "National Adop-
tion Week" is in the best interest of adoptable children and the 
public in general: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week of Novem-
ber 22, 1987, through November 28, 1987, is designated "National 
Adoption Week", and the President of the United States is au-
thorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate

Joint Resolution 
Designating the week beginning November 15,1987, as "African American Education

[S.J. Res. 174] 
Whereas the enrollment of African American students in urban 
public school districts is expected to increase significantly by 1990, 
but the number of African American educators available to teach 
these students is expected to decline; 
Whereas a critical shortage of African American educators already 
exists in the teaching force, and the percentage of African Ameri-
cans pursuing careers in education has declined significantly in 
recent years; 
Whereas the National Alliance of Black School Educators promotes 
academic excellence as the cornerstone of achievement and 
upward mobility for African American students and promotes 
teaching as a viable career option for African Americans; 
Whereas the commitment of the National Alliance of Black School 
Educators to African American education is consistent with the 
current movement in the United States to reform education in the 
public schools; and 
Whereas the National Alliance of Black School Educators has initi-
ated and will coordinate a celebration of African American edu-
cation that will occur during the week of November 15,1987: 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 
November 15, 1987, is designated as "African American Education 
Week", and the President is authorized and requested to issue a 
proclamation calling upon— 
(1) the Department of Education, and State and local govern-
ments, to support appropriate ceremonies and activities carried 
out to observe such week;

(2) schools and communities in which African Americans are

To recognize the Disabled American Veterans Vietnam Veterans National Memorial 
Nov. 13, 1987 
as a memorial of national significance. 
[H.J. Res. 97] 
Whereas in August, 1968, following the tragic death of their eldest New Mexico. 
son and brother, First Lieutenant Victor Davis Westphall, III, in 
the southeast Asian conflict, Dr. and Mrs. Victor Westphall and 
their younger son, Douglas, began construction of a memorial 
chapel at Angel Fire Recreation Area, near Eagle Nest, New 
Mexico, to honor Vietnam veterans; 
Whereas the chapel was opened in 1971 as a memorial to all 
Vietnam veterans: the living, the dead, and the maimed in body 
and spirit; 
Whereas the Disabled American Veterans and other interested 
persons have contributed much financial assistance toward the 
chapel; 
Whereas in September, 1982, the Disabled American Veterans 
established a non-profit corporation to improve and perpetuate 
the chapel; 
Whereas the chapel was rededicated and named the Disabled Amer-
ican Veterans Vietnam Veterans National Memorial in May, 
1983; 
Whereas the chapel has become known to millions of people in this 
Nation and abroad through extensive publicity in the national 
and international news media; 
Whereas the chapel has inspired the construction of other memori-
als to Vietnam veterans throughout the United States, including 
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.; 
Whereas the chapel has received an award for architectural 
excellence from the New Mexico Society of Architects; 
Whereas Dr. Westphall has received the New Mexico Medal of Merit 
in recognition of his services in connection with the chapel and its 
programs over the years; 
Whereas to many persons, especially Vietnam veterans, the chapel 
is literally sacred; and 
Whereas the chapel has served for more than 15 years as a 
national shrine without benefit of an official national designation: 
Now, therefore, be it

[H.J. Res. 130] 
Whereas the number of Americans who are sixty-five or older is 
growing, with an unprecedented increase in the number of per-
sons eighty-five or older; 
Whereas the incidences of frailty and disability increase among 
persons of advanced age; 
Whereas approximately 5.2 million older persons who reside in the 
community have disabilities that leave them in need of help with 
such daily tasks as food preparation, dressing, and bathing; 
Whereas families provide older persons help with such tasks, in 
addition to between 80 and 90 percent of the medical care, house-
hold maintenance, transportation, and shopping needed by older 
persons; 
Whereas families who give care to older persons face many addi-
tional expenses due to home modifications, equipment rental, and 
higher heating bills; 
Whereas 80 percent of the disabled elderly receive care from family 
members, most of whom are wives, daughters, and daughters-in-
law, who often must sacrifice employment opportunities to pro-
vide such care; 
Whereas the role of the aged spouse as a principal caregiver has 
generally been understated; 
Whereas family caregivers are often physically and emotionally 
exhausted from the time and stress involved in caregiving 
activities; 
Whereas family caregivers need information 
about 
available 
community resources; 
Whereas family caregivers need respite from the strains of their 
caregiving roles; 
Whereas the contribution of family caregivers helps maintain 
strong family ties and assures support among generations; and 
Whereas there is a need for greater public awareness of and support 
for the care that family caregivers are providing: 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 
101 STAT. 908
