100th Congress 
Joint Resolution 
Designating the month of November 1988 as "National Alzheimer's Disease Month". 
Whereas more than two and one-half million Americans are 
affected by Alzheimer's disease, which is a surprisingly common 
disorder that destroys certain vital cells of the brain; 
Whereas Alzheimer's disease is the fourth leading cause of death 
among older Americans; 
Whereas Alzheimer's disease is responsible for 50 per centum of all 
nursing home admissions, at an annual cost of more than 
$25,000,000,000; 
Whereas in one-third of all American families one parent will 
succumb to this disease; 
Whereas Alzheimer's disease is not a normal consequence of aging; 
and 
Whereas an increase in the national awareness of the problem of 
Alzheimer's disease and recognition of national organizations 
such as Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association 
may stimulate the interest and concern of the American people, 
which may lead, in turn, to increased research and eventually to 
the discovery of a cure for Alzheimer's disease: 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 Novem-
ber 1988, is designated as "National Alzheimer's Disease Month". 
The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate 
ceremonies and activities.

[S.J. Res. 306] 
Whereas August, 7, 1989, marks the 200th anniversary of the sign-
ing by President Washington of the Lighthouse Act; and 
Whereas that Act, established a Federal role in the support, mainte-
nance, and repair of all lighthouses, beacon buoys, and public 
piers necessary for safe navigation; commissioned the first Fed-
eral lighthouse, and represents the first public works Act in the 
young country; and 
Whereas lighthouses played an integral role in the rich maritime 
history of the United States as that history spread from the 
Atlantic coast, through the Great Lakes and Gulf coast, to the 
Pacific States; and 
Whereas these impressive structures, standing at land's end 
through two centuries, have symbolized safety, security, heroism, 
duty, and faithfulness; and 
Whereas architects, designers, engineers, builders, and keepers de-
voted, and in some cases, jeopardized, their lives for the safety of 
others; and 
Whereas by 1989 the United States Coast Guard will complete the 
automation of all Coast Guard lights, concluding a rich, colorful, 
and significant chapter in American history; and 
Whereas this heritage is further threatened by neglect, vandalism, 
and deterioration by the elements; and 
Whereas the many completed, ongoing, or planned private and 
public efforts to preserve lighthouses demonstrate the public sup-
port for these historic structures: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That the day of August 7, 
1989, is designated as "National Lighthouse Day"; that to the extent 
feasible, lighthouse grounds should be open to the general public; 
and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclama-
tion calling upon the people of the United States to observe such a 
day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

— 
Designating November 4, 1988, as "National Teacher Appreciation Day". 
[H.J. Res. 438] 
Whereas education of the Nation's youth is the foundation of the 
Nation's future; 
Whereas education is a lifelong process which is beneficial to the 
individual and thus beneficial to the entire Nation; 
Whereas teachers deserve credit for their invaluable role in 
providing education; 
Whereas teaching not only involves traditional areas of education, 
but today also includes vocational education, continuing edu-
cation, and education for special needs; 
Whereas teachers contribute not only to the academic growth of 
students, but also to their ethical, social, and 
emotional 
development; 
Whereas Sharon Christa McAuliffe, a high school history teacher, 
exemplified the attributes of the Nation's teachers and made a 
unique contribution to the teaching profession through her 
participation in the space shuttle program which, tragically, re-
sulted in her death; 
Whereas a student's respect for his or her teacher is essential to the 
student's ability to learn; and 
Whereas the contributions of teachers should be celebrated often in 
order to honor the role of teachers in society and to affirm and 
foster respect for teachers: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That November 4, 
1988, is designated as "National Teacher Appreciation Day", and 
the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day

To designate the last full week of October, October 23 through October 29, 1988, as 
[S.J. Res. 335] 
"National Adult Immunization Awareness Week". 
Whereas the Surgeon General of the United States has declared as a 
major health initiative the reduction of vaccine-preventable death 
and disease among adults in the United States; 
Whereas the reduction of these infectious diseases could save as 
many as 70,000 lives annually and more than $1 billion in direct 
costs annually; 
Whereas the Surgeon General has declared the goal of immunizing 
60 percent of America's elderly and chronically ill against in-
fluenza and pneumococcal pneumonia, yet only 18 percent of 
susceptible adults are immunized against influenza and 10 per-
cent against pneumococcal pneumonia; 
Whereas hepatitis B has grown to epidemic proportions in this 
country despite the availability of a highly effective vaccine; 
Whereas childhood diseases like measles and mumps are on the rise 
among young adults; 
Whereas newborn infants in America are at risk of congenital 
deformities or death because 9-15 percent of women of childbear-
ing age are not adequately protected against rubella; 
Whereas the Congress has authorized through the Omnibus Rec-
onciliation Act of 1987 a $25 million-a-year demonstration project 
to prove the cost-effectiveness of influenza vaccinations among 
Medicare recipients; 
Whereas efforts should be made to alert Medicare participants to 
enroll in this project; 
Whereas public awareness in the field of adult immunization has 
been conducted primarily by the voluntary sector; and 
Whereas the Congress and the President have consistently declared 
the last week of October as "National Adult Immunization Aware-
ness Week": Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the last full week of 
October, October 23 through October 29, 1988, is designated as 
PUBLIC LAW 100-603—NOV. 3, 1988

dent is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling

To deragnate October 30,1988, as "Fire Safety at Home Day—Ouuage Your Clock, 
[S.J. Res. 381] 
Oiange Your Batteiy". 
Whereas every year, five hundred thousand fires ravage the homes 
of Americans, resulting in over six thousand deaths and three 
hundred thousand iivjuries; 
Whereas home fires are the leading cause of death and serious 
injury among children in the United States; 
Whereas senior citizens, families in substandard housing, and the 
physically and mentally disabled are at high risk to be victims of 
fire; 
Whereas three out of four homes have at least one smoke detector, 
but an estimated one-half are inoperable because of worn or 
missing batteries; 
Whereas the International Association of Fire Chiefe estimates that 
the annual practice c^ changing batteries in smoke detectors 
would save thousands of lives and billions of dollars in property 
damage; 
Whereas the Congressional Fire Services Caucus, with its brwid-
based bipartisan membership, reflects the concern of Congress for 
fire safety and its dedication to maUng it an important national 
priority; 
Whereas the designation of a special day to remind Americans to 
properly maintain their smoke detectors, timed to coincide with 
the fall ritual of resetting clocks, would greatly diminish this 
human tragedy; and 
Whereas October 30,1988, is the day Americans change their clocks 
from daylight saving time: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled. That the thirtieth 
day of October 1988 is hereby designated as "Fire Safety at Home 
Day—Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery". The Resident is 
requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the 
United States to observe that day by maintaining their first line of 
defense against fire by changing the batteries in their smoke detec-
tors when they reset their clocks from daylight saving time.

r g j p 
onpi 
To designate October 1988 as "National Down Syndrome Month". 
Whereas the pEist decade and a half has brought a greater and more 
enhghtened attitude in the care and training of the developmen-
tally disabled; 
Whereas one such condition which has undergone considerable 
reevaluation is that of Down syndrome—a problem which, just a 
short time ago, was often stigmatized as a mentally retarded 
condition which relegated its victims to lives of passivity in 
institutions and back rooms; 
Whereas through the efforts of concerned physicians, teachers and 
parent groups such as the National Down Syndrome Congress, 
programs are being put in place to educate new parents of babies 
with Down syndrome, to develop special education classes within 
mainstreamed programs in schools, to provide for vocational 
training in preparation for entering the work force, and to pre-
pare young adults with Down syndrome for independent living in 
the community; 
Whereas the cost of such services designed to help individuals with 
Down syndrome move into their rightful place in our society is but 
a tiny fraction of the cost of institutionalization; 
Where£is not only the improvement in educational opportunities for 
those with Down syndrome, but also the advancement in medical 
science is adding to a brighter outlook for individuals born with 
this chromosomal configuration; and 
Whereas public awareness and acceptance of the capabilities of 
children with Down syndrome can greatly facilitate their being 
mainstreamed in our society: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That October 1988 is 
designated as "National Down Syndrome Month" and that the 
President of the United States is authorized and requested to issue a 
proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe 
the designated month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and

kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, 
open school, alternative school, and private school, out-of-school 
kids, and kids of every race, creed, and color, deserve the recogni-
tion and support of the people of the United States; 
Whereas the adults in the United States should recognize their duty 
to protect children by reporting any suspicion of child abuse or 
neglect, the selling of alcoholic beverages to minors, or the dealing 
of drugs by or for children; 
Whereas children in the United States who are achieving success 
deserve to be highly complimented and given special recognition 
for their accomplishments; 
Whereas the people of the United States should help to raise the 
self-esteem of children, especially children who have experienced 
hardship and hurt in their lives, by making an effort to commu-
nicate with and to support children; 
Whereas adults in the United States should frequently offer to 
children hugs, smiles, pats on the back, and words of kindness and 
encouragement, to help children become more confident and 
successful; and 
Whereas the Congress and the President can help children of the 
United States by designating a month for a united effort of the 
people of the United States to show their love and appreciation of 
the children of the United States: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
