Oct. 3, 1988 
To designate the week of October 9, 1988, through October 15, 1988, as "National Job 
[S.J. Res. 333] 
Skills Week". 
Whereas the ability to maintain an internationally competitive and 
productive economy and a high standard of living depends on the 
development and utilization of new technologies; 
Whereas these technologies require skills that are currently lacking 
in the national workforce; 
Whereas experts in both the public and private sectors predict that 
a shortage of skilled entry-level workers will exist through the 
remainder of this century; 
Whereas young people in the United States are experiencing higher 
than normal unemployment rates because many of them lack the 
skills necessary to perform the entry-level jobs that are currently 
available; 
Whereas these young people will continue to experience higher than 
normal unemployment rates unless they develop the skills nec-
essary to perform the entry-level jobs that become available; 
Whereas American workers facing dislocation due to plant closures 
and industrial relocation need special training and education to 
prepare for new jobs and new opportunities; and 
Whereas a National Job Skills Week can serve to focus attention on 
present and future workforce needs, to encourage public and 
private cooperation in job training and educational efforts, and to 
highlight the technological changes underway in the workplace: 
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 
October 9, 1988, through October 15, 1988, is designated as "Na-
tional Job Skills Week", and the President is authorized and re-
quested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the 
United States to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies

[H.J. Res. 518] 
Designating the week of September 25, 1!)H8, as "Religious F'reedom Week". 
Whereas the principle of religious liberty was an essential part of 
the founding of our Nation, and must be safeguarded with eternal 
vigilance by all men and women of good will; 
Whereas religious liberty has been endangered throughout history 
by bigotry and indifference; 
Whereas the first amendment to the Constitution of the United

freely or not be religious, as they choose, without interference 
from governmental or other agencies; 
Whereas the first amendment to the Constitution ensures religious 
freedom to all of the people of the United States; 
Whereas the bicentennial of the ratification of the Constitution 
occurs in 1988; 
Whereas, at Touro Synagogue in 1790, President George Washing-
ton issued his famous letter declaring "to bigotry no sanction, to 
persecution no assistance"; 
Whereas the Touro Synagogue letter advocating the doctrine of 
mutual respect and understanding was issued more than a year 
before the adoption of the Bill of Rights; 
Whereas the letter of President Washington and the Touro Syna-
gogue have become symbols of the commitment of the United 
States to religious freedom; 
Whereas, throughout our Nation's history, religion has contributed 
to the welfare of believers and of society generally, and has been a 
force for maintaining high standards for morality, ethics and 
justice; 
Whereas religion is most free when it is observed voluntarily at 
private initiative, uncontaminated by Government interference 
and unconstrained by majority preference; and 
Whereas religious liberty can be protected only through the efforts 
of all persons of good will in a united commitment: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the week of
