Joint Resolution 
May 11, 1989 
[S.J. Res. 62] 
Designating May 1989 as "National Stroke Awareness Month". 
Whereas stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United 
States; 
Whereas stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the United 
States; 
Whereas stroke is a distinct disease of the brain and nervous system, 
causing paralysis and speech, perceptual, emotional, and cognitive 
impairment; 
Whereas there is insufficient public knowledge of stroke prevention, 
treatment, and rehabilitation; 
Whereas between five hundred thousand and six hundred thousand 
Americans are affected by a stroke each year; 
Whereas between two million and three million American stroke 
survivors have not fully regained their physical and mental abili-
ties and remain significantly disabled; 
Whereas stroke is a sudden catastrophe that devastates families and 
routinely robs survivors and family caregivers of the most reward-
ing years of their lives; 
Whereas stroke costs the United States between $12 and $13 billion 
annually in medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lost potential 
economic output; 
Whereas the National Stroke Association's mission is to provide the 
means to reduce the incidence and effects of stroke through public 
and professional education, community service and research; and 
Whereas increased national awareness of stroke may stimulate 
greater interest, concern, and participation by the American 
people and may lead to increased research and to reducing the 
overall impact of stroke in the United States: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That May 1989 is des-
ignated as "National Stroke Awareness Month" and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate 
ceremonies and activities.

Apr. 13,1989 
[S.J. Res. 43] 
Designating April 9, 1989, as "National Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day". 
Whereas the United States has fought in many wars; 
Whereas thousands of members of the Armed Forces of the United 
States who served in such wars were captured by the enemy and 
held as prisoners of war; 
Whereas many such prisoners of war were subjected to brutal and 
inhumane treatment by their captors in violation of international 
codes and customs for the treatment of prisoners of war and died, 
or were disabled, as a result of such treatment; 
Whereas in 1985, the United States Congress (in Public Law 99-145) 
directed the Department of Defense to issue a medal to former 
prisoners of war in recognition and commemoration of their great 
sacrifices in service to our Nation; and 
Whereas these great sacrifices by former prisoners of war and their 
families deserve national recognition: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That April 9, 1989, is 
designated as "National Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day" 
in honor of the members of the Armed Forces of the United States 
who have been held as prisoners of war, and the President is

people of the United States to commemorate such days with appro-
priate ceremonies and activities.

Joint Resolution 
Mar. 29, 1989 
To commend the Governments of Israel and Egypt on the occasion of the tenth 
[S.J. Res. 87] 
anniversary of the Treaty of Peace between Israel and Egypt. 
Whereas in Washington, District of Columbia, on March 26, 1979, 
the Governments of Israel and Egypt, with the support and 
encouragement of the United States, signed a treaty of peace 
.,: 
formally ending their state of war; 
Whereas this treaty, the only peace agreement between Israel and 
an Arab nation, remains a crucial element in fostering peace in 
the Middle East; 
Whereas under terms of this historic document Israel and Egypt 
agreed to end the state of war between them, Israel fully with-
drew its military forces and civilian settlements from the Sinai 
Peninsula, and Israel and Egypt established formal diplomatic 
relations, including the exchange of ambassadors; 
Whereas the establishment of peace between Israel and Egypt dem-
onstrates that direct bilateral negotiations are the most effective 
way to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict and can lead to lasting and 
mutually beneficial results; 
Whereas the other parties to the conflict have been unwilling to 
enter into direct bilateral negotiations but continue to maintain a 
state of war against Israel; 
Whereas the continuation of the conflict has exacted a high cost in 
human lives and human suffering from both Israelis and Arabs; 
and 
Whereas the treaty has allowed the peoples of Israel and Egypt to 
begin to build a network of cultural, economic, personal, and 
political contacts among themselves: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the United States 
Government— 
(1) commends Israel and Egypt for their historic act of 
courage and statesmanship in signing the Treaty of Peace of 
r 
March 26, 1979; 
(2) calls upon the President to mark this historic anniversary 
with appropriate public activities; 
(3) welcomes the willingness of Israel and Egypt to continue to 
observe the international obligations they have accepted which 
have contributed to the peace and stability of the region; and 
PUBLIC LAW 101-8—MAR. 29, 1989 
103 STAT. 11 
(4) calls upon other Arab nations and the Palestinians to 
follow the example of Israel and Egypt, to join actively in the 
peace process, to renounce the state of war and acts of violence, 
and to enter into face-to-face negotiations to achieve a just and 
lasting peace.

expenditures by the Commodity Credit Corporation and shall notify 
the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and

Senate of such determination.

Designating the month of March in both 1989 and 1990 as "Women's History Month". 
[H.J. Res. 148] 
Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic back-
ground have made historic contributions to the growth and 
strength of our 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 the 
life of the Nation by constituting a significant portion of the labor 
force working inside and outside of the home; 
Whereas American women have played a unique role throughout 
the history of the Nation by providing the majority of the volun-
teer labor force of the Nation; 
Whereas American women were particularly important in the 
establishment of early charitable, philanthropic, and cultural 
institutions in our Nation; 
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; 
Whereas American women have been leaders not only in securing 
their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the 
abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the indus-
trial labor movement, the civil rights movement, and other move-
ments, especially the peace movement, which 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 
literature, teaching, and study of American history: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That March 1989 
and March 1990 are both designated as "Women's History Month". 
The President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
for each of those months calling upon the people of the United 
States to observe those months with appropriate programs, cere-
monies, and activities.

To designate the week beginning April 2, 1989, as "National Child Care Awareness

[S.J. Res. 50] 
Whereas the status and composition of the family in the United 
States is constantly changing; 
Whereas today 57 percent of all women with children younger than 
six years of age work outside the home; 
Whereas by 1995, two-thirds of all pre-school children and more 
than three-quarters of all school-age children will have mothers in 
the work force; 
Whereas the increasing participation of women in the work force 
will continue to increeise the demand for child care during the 
working hours; 
Whereas adequate child care is an increasingly important element 
in enhancing the productivity of the work force and enabling 
parents to receive additional job training; 
Whereas child care experts have long known that a child's first five 
years are the ideal base to support lifelong learning, and child 
care providers in both homes and child care centers can provide 
vital assistance to parents in these critical years; 
Whereas the collaboration of public and private efforts is essential 
to developing accessible, high quality child care; 
Whereas the National Association for the Education of Young Chil-
dren is sponsoring a week of the young child, and it is appropriate 
for Congress to designate the same week as a period devoted to 
» 
increasing public awareness of child care issues; 
Whereas communities across the United States are planning special 
activities to honor child care providers to illustrate the impor-
tance of high quality child care during that week; and 
Whereas all children deserve high quality child care, and all parents 
have a profound obligation to provide a safe wholesome environ-
ment for their children at all times: Now, therefore, be it
