cept in a growing Nation's legal system with a leading role in the 
development of an increasingly important body of administrative 
law; 
Whereas the one-hundred-year period of the Commission's regu-
latory responsibility has embraced the challenge of two world

tinuous fluctuations in the Nation's economy and business cycles 
which span the Great Depression, postwar booms, and the

Whereas the Commission's record of national service has encom-

panying the development and growth of waterways, railroads,

Whereas the Commission has steadfastly endeavored to guard and 
protect the public interest in the development and regulation of 
the Nation's transportation system; and 
Whereeis, under its one hundred years of regulatory oversight dedi-
cated to the development, promotion, and preservation of a na-
tional system of transportation under a free enterprise economy, a 
transportation system unsurpassed throughout the world has 
been established: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United

designated as "Interstate Commerce Commission Day". The Presi-

Whereas the United States Bureau of the Census reported that fifty-

Whereas sport fishing is a family oriented, outdoor, recreational

of healthful protein-rich food; 
Whereas fishing promotes respect for our Nation's marine, estua-
rine, and fresh waters, and their associated plant and animal 
communities; and

diverse aquatic habitats: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas President William Howard Taft signed the Arizona state-
hood bill on the morning of February 14,1912; and 
Whereas Arizona had prayed for admission to the Union as a 
separate State from New Mexico, waging a valiant effort for this 
goal; and 
Whereas Arizona is the host to ancient American cultures as well as 
the largest Indian tribe in the United States today; and 
Whereas European settlement and influence has been present in 
Arizona for more than four centuries; and 
Whereas the Hopi village of Oraibi is the oldest continually inhab-
ited community in the United States; and 
Whereas Arizona has more National Parks and Monuments than 
any other State, among these is one of the Seven Wonders of the 
World, the magnificent Grand Canyon; and 
Whereas Arizona was the birthplace of Indians and Anglos living in 
peace and understanding when Captain Thomas J. Jeffords and 
Chiricahua Apache Chief Cochise pioneered mutual trust between 
the white and redman; and 
Whereas Arizona has been a front-line defender of the United States 
in eight wars. From the Mexican War to Vietnam, Arizona has 
contributed skilled horsemen, scouts, Navajo code talkers, thou-
sands of trained pilots, and courageous service men and women to 
the cause of victory; and 
Whereas today Arizona is the fastest growing State in the Union, 
rich in natural resources and talented people. Arizona has 
attracted numerous creative residents to its casual lifestyle who 
have enriched the cultural life; and 
Whereas Arizona stands in the forefront of medical advances, high-
technology engineering, and advanced astronomy. It offers 
scholars of the world a valued opportunity to study the pre-
Columbian past as well as the envisioned future: Now, therefore,

Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic back-
ground have made historical contributions to the growth and 
strength of the Nation in countless recorded and unrecorded ways; 
Whereas American women have played and continue to play a 
critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of our 
Nation's life by constituting a significant portion of the labor force 
working in and ouside of the home; 
Whereeis American women have played a unique role throughout 
our history by providing the majority of the Nation's volunteer 
labor force and have been particularly important in the establish-
ment of early charitable philanthropic and cultural institutions in 
this country; 
Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic back-
ground served as early leaders in the forefront of every major 
progressive social change movement, not only to secure their own 
^ right of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist 
movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor 
movement, the civil rights movement, and other movements to 
create a more fair and just society for all; and 
Whereas, despite these contributions, the role of American women 
in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued in 
the body of American history: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That the month of March,

[H.J. Res. 153] 
eligible local educational agencies can complete asbestos abatement work in school

Whereas the health of 15 million of the Nation's children is threat-
ened because they attend school in buildings with dangerous 
asbestos contamination; 
Whereas in 1984 the Congress passed and the President signed into 
20 use 4011 
law the Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Act (ASHAA) to 
note. 
provide funds to the Nation's neediest local educational agencies 
to help them abate potentially deadly asbestos in order to protect 
school children; 
Whereas the Congress provided $50,000,000 in grants and loans 
under such Act for fiscal year 1987; 
Whereas the Environmental Protection Agency asserted in its 
budget that ASHAA funds are unnecessary because prior year 
funds have greatly reduced the problem and many States have 
their own program, and the EPA is delaying the fiscal year 1987 
ASHAA financial assistance application process; and 
Whereas there is a dire need for these funds and the Environmental 
Protection Agency's current schedule to issue grants and loans in 
June of 1987 will seriously impair the ability of local educational 
agencies in need of Federal funds to complete asbestos abatement 
work during the 1987 summer school recess: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That the Environmental 
Protection Agency and any other agencies involved shall take such 
steps as may be necessary to ensure that eligible local educational 
agencies are awarded financial assistance under the Asbestos School 
Hazard Abatement Act of 1984 in time to complete asbestos abate-
ment work not later than the end of the 1987 summer school recess.
