Designating the week beginning October 31, 1993, as "National Health Information 
[H.J. Res. 205] 
Management Week". 
Whereas accurate, timely, and complete medical records and related 
health information are vital in planning and providing for quality 
health care for the people of the United States; 
Whereas such records and information are vital to providing health 
care to an individual beginning at the birth of the individual 
and continuing throughout the life of the individual; 
Whereas public concern about the quality, appropriateness, and 
effectiveness of health care is escalating; 
Whereas specific skills in evaluating and reporting the results of 
health care are required to provide public accountability; 
Whereas equitable third-party reimbursement for health care is 
dependent on health information that is collected, analyzed, 
classified, verified, and disseminated; 
Whereas public awareness of patient rights, including the right 
of a patient to access the patient's own medical information, 
is increasing; 
Whereas the needs and requirements for health information of 
the health care industry and the use of the information by the 
industry are changing rapidly; 
Whereas the rate of such changes will continue to increase as 
new health care technology is used and new health care reform 
policies are promulgated; 
Whereas the 35,000 members of the American Health Information 
Management Association are the health information leaders of 
the United States; and 
Whereas such members have demonstrated commitment to, and 
expertise in, health information management: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the week

[H.J. Res. 265] 
To designate October 19, 1993, as 'T^ational Mammography Day". 
Whereas, according to the American Cancer Society, one hundred 
eighty-two thousand women will be diagnosed with breast cancer 
in 1993, and forty-six thousand women will die from this disease; 
Whereas, in the decade of the 1990's, it is estimated that about 
two million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, resulting 
in nearly five hundred thousand deaths; 
Whereas the risk of breast cancer increases with age, with a woman 
at age seventy having twice as much of a chance of developing 
the msease than a woman at age fifty; 
Whereas 80 percent of women who get breast cancer have no 
family history of the disease; 
Whereas mammograms, when operated professionally at an accred-
ited facility, can provide a safe and quick diagnosis; 
Whereas experts agree that mammography is the best method 
of early detection of breast cancer, and early detection is the 
key to saving lives; and 
Whereas mammograms can reveal the presence of small cancers 
up to two years before regular clinical breast examinations or 
breast self-examinations (BSE), saving as many as a third more 
lives: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That October 
19, 1993, be designated as ''National Mammography Day^, and 
the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation
