has grown to over 50 million since the first German immigrants 
arrived in this country; 
Whereas German-Americans are proud of the existing friendship 
and cooperation between the Federal Republic of Germany and 
the United States; 
Whereas the Grerman-American Friendship Garden in Washington, 
D.C., is evidence of this cooperation; 
Whereas Grerman-Americans support expansion of the existing 
friendship between Grermany and the United States, and will 
continue to contribute to the culture of the United States, support 
its government and democratic principles, and help ensure the 
freedom of all people; 
Whereas Grerman unification stands as a symbol of greater inter-
national cooperation and has reemphasized the prominent posi-
tion of Germany in the European community and between the 
East and the West; 
Whereas Congress unanimously passed joint resolutions designating 
October 6th of 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992, each

Joint Resolution 
Oct. 1, 1993 
To designate the month of August as "National Scleroderma Awareness Month", 
[H.J. Res. 220] 
and for other purposes. 
Whereas scleroderma is a disease caused by the excess production 
of collagen, the main fibrous component of connective tissue, 
causing hardening of the skin or internal organs, or both, such 
as the esophagus, lungs, kidney, and heart; 
Whereas approximately 300,000 people in the United States suffer 
from scleroderma, with women of childbearing age outnumbering 
men 4 to 1; 
Whereas scleroderma, a painful, crippling, and disfiguring disease, 
is most often progressive and can result in premature death; 
Whereas the symptoms of scleroderma are variable which can com-
plicate and confuse diagnosis; 
Whereas the cause and cure of scleroderma are imknown; and 
Whereas scleroderma is an orphan disease that requires intensive 
research to improve treatment as well as find the cause and 
cure: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled. That the months 
of August 1993 and August 1994 are designated as "National 
Scleroderma Awareness Month". The President is authorized and 
requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the 
United States to observe each such month with appropriate activi-
ties that will enhance awareness of the disease and the need for 
a cure.

Joint Resolution 
Sept. 21,1993 
[S.J. Res. 95] 
To designate October 1993 as "National Breast Cancer Awareness Month". 
Whereas breast cancer will strike an estimated 182,000 women 
and 1,000 men in the United States in 1993; 
Whereas the risk of developing breast cancer increases as a woman 
grows older; 
Whereas breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death 
in women, and will kill an estimated 46,000 women and 300 
men in 1993; 
Whereas the 5-year survival rate for localized breast cancer has 
risen from 78 percent in the 1940's to over 90 percent today; 
Whereas most breast cancers are detected by the woman herself; 
Whereas educating both the public and health care providers about 
the importance of early detection will result in reducing breast 
cancer mortality; 
Whereas appropriate use of screening mammography, in conjunction 
with clinical examination and breast self-examination, can result 
in the detection of many breast cancers early in their development 
and increase the survival rate to nearly 100 percent; 
Whereas data from controlled trials clearly demonstrate that deaths 
from breast cancer are significantly reduced in women who have 
been screened by mammography; 
Whereas many women are reluctant to have screening mammo-
grams for a variety of reasons, such as the cost of testing, lack 
of information, or fear; 
Whereas access to screening mammography is directly related to 
socioeconomic status; 
Whereas increased awareness about the importance of screening 
mammography will result in the procedure being regularly 
requested by the patient and recommended by the health care 
provider; and 
Whereas it is projected that more women will use this lifesaving 
test as it becomes increasingly available and affordable: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled. That October

[S.J. Res. 50] 
Week". 
Whereas the designation of a week as "National Rehabilitation 
Week" gives the people of this Nation an opportunity to celebrate 
the victories, courage, and determination of individuals with 
disabiUties in this Nation and recognize dedicated health care 
professionals who work daily to help such individuals achieve 
independence; 
Whereas there are significant areas where the needs of such individ-
uals with disabilities have not been met, such as certain research 
and educational needs; 
Whereas half of the people of this Nation will need some form 
of rehabilitation therapy; 
Whereas rehabiUtation agencies and faciUties ofiFer care and treat-
ment for individuals with physical, mental, emotional, and social 
disabiUties; 
Whereas the goal of the rehabiUtative services offered by such

Whereas the majority of the people of this Nation are not aware

D.A.R.E. Day". 
[S.J. Res. 99] 
Whereas Drug Abuse Resistance Education (in this joint resolution 
referred to as "D.A.R.E.") is the largest and most effective drug-
use prevention education program in the United States, and 
is now taught to 25,000,000 youths in grades K-12; 
Whereas D.A.R.E. is taught in more than 250,000 classrooms reach-
ing all 50 States, AustraUa, New Zealand, American Samoa, 
Canada, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, Mexico, 
Brazil, Hungary, and Department of Defense Dependent Schools 
worldwide; 
Whereas the D.A.R.E. core curriculum, developed by the Los 
Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Unified School 
District, helps prevent substance abuse among school-age children 
by providing students with accurate information about alcohol 
and drugs, teaching students decision-making skills, educating 
students about the consequences of certain behaviors, and build-
ing students' self-esteem while teaching them how to resist peer 
pressure; 
Whereas D.A.R.E. provides parents with information and guidance 
to further the development of their children and reinforce the 
decisions of their children to lead drug-free lives; 
Whereas D.A.R.E. is taught by street-wise veteran police officers 
with years of direct experience with people whose lives were 
ruined by substance abuse, giving them unmatched credibility; 
Whereas each police officer who teaches D.A.R.E. completes 80 
hours of specialized training in areas such as child development, 
classroom management, teaching techniques, and communication 
skills; 
Whereas independent research has found that D.A.R.E. substan-
tially impacts students' attitudes toward substance use, contrib-
utes to improved study habits, higher grades, decreased vandal-
ism and gang activity, and generates greater respect for police 
officers; and 
Whereas 1993 marks the 10th year that D.A.R.E. has provided 
students with the skills they will need as young adults to resist 
the temptations of drug abuse: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That September 
9, 1993, and April 21, 1994, are each designated as "National 
107 STAT. 738
