Aug. 14, 1989 
To commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Wilderness Act of 1964 which 
[S.J. Res. 67] 
established the National Wilderness Preservation System. 
Whereas 1989 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the establish-
ment of the National Wilderness Preservation System; 
Whereas wilderness areas were created to secure for the American 
people the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness; 
Whereas Congressionally designated wilderness is an area of un-
developed Federal land where earth and nature are untrammeled 
by man, and where man is a visitor who does not remain; 
Whereas wilderness areas allow us to preserve ecological, geological, 
scientific, educational, scenic, and historical values; 
Whereas wilderness areas provide outstanding opportunities for 
solitude and primitive recreation; 
Whereas in 1924 the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico was the first 
administratively designated wilderness in the nation, and became 
statutory wilderness in 1964; 
Whereas there are four hundred and seventy-four units totaling 
nearly ninety-one million acres in forty-four States that comprise 
the National Wilderness Preservation System today; 
Whereas a wide range of individuals, organizations, and agencies 
with differing perspectives have worked with Congress to promote 
preservation of wilderness areas; 
Whereas the Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Fish and 
Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land Management are en-
trusted to protect and manage our wilderness heritage; 
Whereas the Wilderness Act passed in both houses of Congress with 
a strong sense of bipartisan support; and 
Whereas the Wilderness Act was signed into law on September 3, 
1964 by President Lyndon Baines Johnson: 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 3 through September 9, 1989, is designated as "National Wilder-
ness Week". The President is authorized and requested to issue a 
proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe 
the week with appropriate activities and programs.

[H.J.Res.221] 
Whereas on September 1, 1939, troops of the German Third Reich 
launched a surprise attack upon Poland and began the military 
actions that led to World War 11; 
Whereas the Governments of Japan, Italy, and other states subse-
quently joined Nazi Germany in attacking their neighboring 
states to bolster their national pride and achieve imperialistic 
economic advantages; 
Whereas the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and many 
other nations declared war upon the aggressors; 
Whereas as a result of the six-year conflict that ensued over fifteen 
million combatants were killed and over twenty-four million non-
combatants died; 
Whereas the warring nations suffered nearly $1,900,000,000,000 in 
costs directly related to the conduct of the war, and the severe 
disruption and dislocation of the conflict resulted in losses totaling 
many times that amount to their economies; 
Whereas as a result of the vicious racist policies of the Government 
of Nazi Germany and some of its allies, millions of innocent men, 
women, and children were murdered, including some six million 
Jews; 
Whereas as a result of wartime fears and prejudices, millions of 
innocent individuals were needlessly displaced, interned, har-
assed, placed under suspicion, and deprived of their property by 
nations on both sides of the conflict; and 
Whereas as a consequence of technological innovations which came 
about as a result of this war, devastating conventional weapons 
and the threat of nuclear annihilation directly affect growing 
segments of civilian populations: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That in commemoration 
of the fiftieth anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, the week 
beginning September 1, 1989, is designated "World War II Remem-
brance Week" and the President is authorized and requested to 
issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States 
to observe the period with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and

Whereas American libraries of all kinds (public libraries, school 
library media centers, academic and research libraries, and spe-
cial libraries) are essential to national literacy, lifelong learning, 
and a productive economy; 
Whereas children who are read to in their homes at an early age 
and who grow up regularly using libraries perform better in 
school and are more likely to continue to be library users as 
adults; 
Whereas the United States National Commission on Libraries and 
Information Science and the American Library Association have 
launched a national campaign to ensure that every school-age 
child in the Nation will have, and will be encouraged to use, a 
library card; 
Whereas a library card cannot be outgrown and is good for a 
lifetime of learning and enjoyment; 
Whereas parents and schools are important partners in the effort to 
give the wonderful gift of a library card to every child in the 
Nation; and 
Whereas a library card is an essential resource for every child's 
education and September is the month during which children 
return to school: Now, therefore, be it

[S.J. Res. 126] 
Commemorating the bicentennial of the United States Coast Guard. 
Whereas August 4, 1990, marks the 200th anniversary of the Act of 
August 4, 1790, by which Congress authorized 10 revenue cutters 
requested by Alexander Hamilton for the purpose of interdicting 
violators of the customs laws; 
Whereas the seagoing service which began with those first 10 cut-
ters lives on in the form of the service now known as the "United 
States Coast Guard"; 
Whereas the Coast Guard has served this Nation well, in war and 
peace, in both the defense of this Nation against foreign enemies 
iEmd against the use of the sea for crimes against the Nation; 
Whereas the Coast Guard has also served this Nation well in 
protecting against the perils of the sea, by rescuing those in 
danger at sea, maintaining aids to navigation, and regulating the 
safety of vessels; 
Whereas the Coast Guard, despite its small size, has served the 
Nation in these and in many other areas with efficiency and 
gallantry; 
Whereas the Coast Guard's present-day battle against the importa-
tion of drugs by sea reminds us of the origins of the Coast Guard 
with those first 10 cutters 200 years ago, and of the other essential 
services performed by the Coast Guard; and 
Whereas the bicentennial of the Coast Guard will be commemorated 
during the period beginning August 4,1989, and ending August 4, 
1990: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That the Congress of the 
United States hereby gives recognition to the two centuries of 
service by the United States Coast Guard and authorizes and re-
quests the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people 
of the Nation to share in the pride and satisfaction enjoyed by the 
dedicated and committed members of the United States Coast Guard 
during the commemoration of this bicentennial.

[S.J. Res. 127] 
Whereas drunk driving is the most frequently committed crime in 
the United States, with arrests for driving while intoxicated 
totaling more than three times the number of arrests for all 
violent crimes combined; 
Whereas one individual in the United States was killed every 
twenty-two minutes in a drunk-driving-related crash in 1988, an 
average of sixty-five individuals each day; 
Whereas more than twenty-three thousand individuals were killed 
in the United States in drunk-driving-related crashes in 1988; 
Whereas two out of every five individuals in the United States will 
be involved in a drunk-driving-related crash at some point in their 
lives; 
Whereas the estimates of the economic costs of drunk driving in the 
United States are as high as $24 billion; 
Whereas Drive for Life is a public awareness campaign which asks 
all Americans to pledge to be responsible by driving sober on the 
Drive for Life Day and thereby demonstrate a commitment to 
reduce significantly the tragedies of drunk driving, and which 
serves to educate the public abput the dangers of drunk driving; 
Whereas Americans are also asked to turn on their headlights while 
driving on Drive for Life Day as a remembrance of those killed by 
drunk driving; 
Whereas on the second annual National Drive for Life Day, the toll 
of individuals killed in drunk-driving-related crashes in the 
United States was 28.6 per centum lower than the number of 
deaths due to drunk-driving-related crashes on Labor Day week-
end Saturday, in 1987, reflecting the success of this campaign; 
Whereas the second annual National Drive for Life campaign fea-
tured endorsements from all fifty Governors, more than two 
hundred and seventy-five mayors, and all fifty State police depart-
ments; 
Whereas the third annual National Drive for Life Day will occur on 
September 2, 1989, the Saturday of the Labor Day weekend, when 
drunk-driving-related crashes are traditionally at their peak: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the Labor Day week-
