Designating the weeks beginning May 23, 1993, and May 15, 1994, as "Emergency 
[H.J. Res. 78] 
Medical Services Week". 
Whereas emergency medical services is a vital public service; 
Whereas access to quality emergency care dramatically improves 
the survival and recovery rate of those who experience sudden 
illness or injury; 
Whereas efforts to establish emergency medicine as a medical spe-
cialty began 25 years ago with the founding of the American 
College of Emergency Physicians in 1968; 
Whereas the members of emergency medical services teams are 
ready to provide lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a 
day, 7 days a week; 
Whereas emergency medical services teams consist of emergency 
physicians, emergency nurses, emergency medical technicians, 
paramedics, firefighters, educators, administrators, and others; 
Whereas approximately % of all emergency medical services provid-
ers are volunteers; 
Whereas the members of emergency medical services teams, 
whether career or volunteer, engage in thousands of hours of 
specialized training and continuing education to enhance their 
lifesaving skills; 
Whereas Americans benefit daily from the knowledge and skills 
of these highly trained individuals; 
Whereas it is appropriate to recognize the value and the accomplish-
ments of emergency medical services providers by designating 
Emergency Medical Services Week; and 
Whereas the designation of Emergency Medical Services Week will 
serve to educate all Americans about injury prevention and how 
to respond to a medical emergency: Now, therefore, be it

[H.J. Res. 80] 
Whereas the brave men and women of the United States of America 
made tremendous sacrifices during World War II to save the 
world from tyranny and aggression; 
Whereas the winds of 
fi*eeaom 
and democracy sweeping the globe 
today spring from the principles for which over four hundred 
thousand Americans gave their lives in World War 11; 
Whereas World War U and the events that led up to that war 
must be imderstood in order that we may better imderstand 
our own times, and more fully appreciate the reasons why eternal 
vigilance against any form of tyranny is so important; 
Whereas the World War II era, as reflected in its family life, 
industry, and entertainment, was a unique period in American 
history, and epitomized our Nation's philosophy of hard work, 
courage, and tenacity in the face of adversity; 
Whereas, between 1991 and 1995, over nine million American veter-
ans of World War II will be holding reunions and conferences 
and otherwise commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of various 
events relating to World War 11; and 
Whereas Jime 4, 1993, marks the Battle of Midway, and June

[S.J. Res. 53] 
Designating March 1993 and March 1994 both as "Women's History Month". 
Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic back-

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 opportiinity, but also 
in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the 
industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, and other 
movements, 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, 
therefore, be it
