Joint Resolution 
Oct. 11, 1990 
[S.J. Res. 301] 
Designating October 1990 as "National Breast Cancer Awareness Month". 
Whereas breast cancer will strike an estimated 150,000 women and 
900 men in the United States in 1990; 
Whereas one out of every ten women will develop breast cancer at 
some point in her life; 
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, killing an estimated 43,000 women and 300 men in 1989; 
Whereas the 5-year survival rate for localized breast cancer has 
risen from 78 percent in the 1940s to over 90 percent today; 
Whereas most breast cancers are detected by the woman herself; 
Whereas educating both the public and physicians about the impor-
tance of early detection will result in reducing breast cancer 
mortality; 
Whereas appropriate use of screening mammography, in conjunc-
tion 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 over the 
age of 40 by using mammography as a screening tool; 
Whereas women do not have mammograms for a variety of reasons, 
such as the cost of testing, lack of information, and 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 re-
quested 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, there-
fore, be it

Designating March 1991 as "Irish-American Heritage Month". 
Whereas by 1776 nearly 300,000 natives of Ireland had emigrated to 
the United States; 
Whereas, following the victory at Yorktown over the English, a 
French Major General reported that Congress owed its existence, 
and America, possibly her preservation, to the fidelity of the Irish; 
Whereas at least 8 signers of the Declaration of Independence were 
of Irish origin; 
Whereas Charles Thomson, born in Ireland, was Secretary of the 
Continental Congress; 
Whereas Irish-born James Hoban designed the White House, the 
State and war offices, and assisted in the building of the United 
States Capitol; 
Whereas on March 17, 1990, Saint Patrick's Day, 206 community 
parades honored the patron saint of Ireland; 
Whereas more than 480 institutions of higher learning in the United 
States offer courses in Irish studies; 
Whereas the Irish and Irish descendants have contributed greatly to 
the enrichment of all aspects of life in the United States, includ-
ing military and governmental service, science, education, art, 
agriculture, business, industry, and athletics; and 
Whereas, in the 1980 census, 40,700,000 individuals in the United 
States claimed to be of Irish descent: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That March 1991 is des-
ignated as "Irish-American Heritage Month", and the President of 
the United States of America is authorized and requested to issue a

To designate the month of October 1990 as "Country Music Month". 
Whereas country music derives its roots from the folk songs of our 
Nation's workers, captures the spirit of our religious hjmins, 
reflects the sorrow and joy of our traditional ballads, and echoes 
the drive and soulfulness of rhjrthm and blues; 
Whereas country music has played an integral part in our Nation's 
history, accompanying the growth of the Nation and reflecting the 
ethnic and cultural diversity of our people; 
Whereas country music embodies a spirit of America and the deep 
and genuine feelings individuals experience throughout their 
lives; 
Whereas the distinctively American refrains of country music have 
been performed for audiences throughout the world, striking a 
chord deep within the hearts and souls of its fans; and 
Whereas October 1990 marks the twenty-sixth annual observsmce of 
Country Music Month: 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

[S.J. Res. 333] 
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 new technologies require skills that are currently unavail-
able in the national workforce; 
Whereas experts in both the public and private sectors predict that 
a shortage of skilled entryJevel workers will exist through the 
remainder of the twentieth century; 
Whereas young people in the United States are experiencing higher 
than normal unemplojnment rates due to the lack of skills nec-
essary to perform entry-level jobs that are currently available; 
Whereas young people in the United States will continue to experi-
ence higher than normal unemployment rates unless such young 
people develop the skills necessary to perform the entry-level jobs 
that become available; 
Whereas workers in the United States, threatened by dislocation 
due to plant closures and industrial relocation, need special train-
ing and education to prepare for new jobs and new opportunities; 
and 
Whereas a National Job Skills Week would 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 Septem-
ber 30,1990, through October 6,1990, is designated as "National Job 
Skills Week", and the President is authorized and requested to issue

[S.J. Res. 331] 
Whereas the principle of religious liberty was an essential part of 
the founding of the Nation, and must be safeguarded with eternal 
vigilance by all men and women of goodwill; 
Whereas religious liberty has been endangered throughout history 
by bigotry and indifference; 
Whereas the first amendment to the Constitution guarantees the 
inalienable rights of individuals to worship freely or not be reli-
gious, as they choose, without interference from governmental or 
other agencies; 
Whereas the Constitution ensures religious freedom to all of the 
people of the United States; 
Whereas at Touro Synagogue in 1790, President George Washington 
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 1 year 
before the adoption of the Bill of Rights; 
Whereas the letter of President Washingon and the Touro Sjrna-
gogue have become national symbols of the commitment of the 
United States to religious freedom; 
Whereas throughout the history of the Nation, religion has contrib-
uted 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 goodwill in a united commitment: Now, therefore, 
belt
