.o j p—ZORT" 
Whereas there are approximately eight million five hundred thou-
sand disabled persons in rural America; 
Whereas, in 1984, farm residents suffered approximately two hun-
dred and ninety thousand disabling injuries and approximately 
five hundred and sixty thousand agricultural workers were hin-
dered in their farming operations because of permanent disabil-
ities; 
Whereas disability is proportionately more prevalent in rural areas 
than in urban areas and the rural disabled are more disadvan-
taged than their urban counterparts; 
Whereas little attention has been given to the unique problems 
faced by the rural disabled in the United States; and 
Whereas there is a need to focus attention on the unmet needs of the 
rural disabled, to underscore their potential, and to encourage 
outreach programs by rural communities to their disabled mem-
bers: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That October 4, 1986, is 
hereby designated "National Outreach to the Rural Disabled Day",

Joint Resolution 
Oct. 8. 1986 
[S.J. Res. 368] 
To designate the month of October 1986, as "National Spina Bifida Month". 
Whereas spina bifida is a birth defect in the spinal column which 
occurs in one of every one thousand births in the United States; 
Whereas spina bifida is the most common crippler of newborns, 
resulting when one or more bones in the back (vertebrae) fail to 
close completely during prenatal development; 
Whereas while the cause of spina bifida is not known, it appears to 
be the result of multiple environmental and genetic factors; 
Whereas although most of the March of Dimes and Easter Seal 
poster children have spina bifida, many people have not heard of 
the defect; 
Whereas only a few cities in the United States have proper care 
centers and specialized professionals that can provide the most 
effective, aggressive treatment for children and adults with spina 
bifida; and 
Whereas an increase in the national awareness of the problem of 
spina bifida may stimulate the interest and concern of the Amer-
ican people, which may lead, in turn, to increased research and 
eventually to the discovery of a cure for spina bifida: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the month of October 
1986, is designated "National Spina Bifida Month" and the Presi-
dent is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling 
upon the people of the United States to observe such month with

[H.J. Res. 721] 
Whereas one of the most critical problems facing the Nation is to 
design and engineer a national work force that can meet the 
challenges of today and tomorrow; 
Whereas work in the United States is undergoing rapid and pro-
found change; 
Whereas advances in technology will require new skills not now 
held by the national work force; 
Whereas it is predicted that during the decade beginning in 1980, 
businesses will experience a shortage of skilled workers; 
Whereas the skills of many young adults and teenagers are inad-
equate to perform jobs that are becoming available, thereby 
contributing to a much greater than normal unemployment rate 
among young people; 
Whereas the ability to maintain a competitive and productive edge 
necessary for a strong economy and relatively high quality of life 
standard are dependent on the national work force; 
Whereas the productivity and ability of the Nation to compete in a 
world economy are dependent on the national work force; and 
Whereas a National Job Skills Week can serve to highlight the 
many changes that are underway in the workplace which have 
necessitated the learning of new skills, concentrate attention on 
private and public job training efforts, and bring attention to 
present and future work force needs: 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 
12, 1986, through October 18, 1986, is designated as "National Job 
Skills Week", and the President is authorized and requested to issue 
a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States and
