Joint Resolution 
To designate the week of October 11, 1987, through October 17, 1987, as "National Job 
Oct. 14, 1987 
Skills Week". 
[S.J. Res. 72] 
Whereas one of the most critical problems facing the Nation is to 
foster the development of a national work force that can meet the 
challenges of today and tomorrow; 
Whereas work in the United States is undergoing rapid and pro-
found change; 
Whereas advances in technology will require new skills not now 
held by the national work force; 
Whereas it is predicted that through the remainder of this century, 
businesses will experience a shortage of entry level skilled 
workers; 
Whereas the skills of many young adults and teenagers are inad-
equate to perform jobs that are becoming available, thereby 
contributing to a much greater than normal unemployment rate 
among young people; 
Whereas the ability to maintain a competitive and productive edge 
necessary for a strong economy and relatively high standard of 
living are dependent on the national work force; 
Whereas the productivity and ability of the Nation to compete in a 
world economy are dependent on the national work force; and 
Whereas a National Job Skills Week can serve to highlight the 
many changes that are underway in the workplace which have 
necessitated the learning of new skills, concentrate attention on 
private and public job training efforts, and bring attention to 
present and future work force needs: 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 October 
11, 1987, through October 17, 1987, is designated as "National Job 
Skills Week" and the President of the United States is authorized 
and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the 
United States and interested groups to observe such week with 
appropriate programs and activities. 
Approved October 14, 1987.

Oct. 15, 1987 
[H.J. Res. 338] 
Designating October 15, 1987, as "National Safety Belt Use Day". 
Whereas safety belts and child safety seats have proven to be 
effective in reducing highway fatalities and injuries; 
Whereas the legislatures of 29 States and the District of Columbia 
have recognized the benefits of safety belt use and enacted safety 
belt use laws; 
Whereas child safety seat laws are in effect in all of the States; 
Whereas as a result of these laws and other activities, millions of 
Americans are regularly wearing safety belts and using child 
safety seats; 
Whereas the universal use of these safety systems would prevent 
thousands of fatalities and injuries each year; 
Whereas the use of safety belts and child safety seats should be 
encouraged even as passive restraint systems are phased into the 
vehicle fleet; 
Whereas numerous public interest and safety organizations are 
working to encourage more extensive use of safety belts and child 
safety seats; and 
Whereas the law enforcement community has played an essential 
role in encouraging the more widespread use of safety belts and 
child safety seats: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That October 15, 1987, is 
designated as "National Safety Belt Use Day", and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to wear safety belts and have their 
children use child safety seats, and encouraging public safety and 
law enforcement agencies to promote greater usage of these essen-
tial safety devices.

100th Congress 
Joint Resolution 
Oct. 5, 1987 
[S.J. Res. 84] 
To designate October 1987 as "National Down Syndrome Month". 
Whereas the past decade and a half has brought a greater and more 
enlightened 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; 
Whereas 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 1987 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 
activities.

Joint Resolution 
Designating September 27, 1987, as "Gold Star Mothers Day". 
Whereas the services rendered to the United States by the mothers 
of America have strengthened and inspired our Nation through-
out our history; 
Whereas we honor ourselves and the mothers of America when we 
revere and emphasize the role of the home and the family as the 
true foundations of our Nation; 
Whereas by doing so much for the home, the American mother is a 
source of moral and spiritual guidance for the people of the 
United States and thus acts as a positive force to promote good 
government and peace among all mankind; 
Whereas the American Gold Star Mothers assist veterans of the 
Armed Forces and their dependents in the presentation of claims 
to the Veterans' Administration, and aid the men and women who 
served and died or were wounded or incapacitated during hos-
tilities; and 
Whereas the American Gold Star Mothers have suffered the su-
preme sacrifice of motherhood by losing sons and daughters who 
served in the Armed Forces, and thus perpetuate the memory of 
all whose lives were sacrificed in our wars: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the

Sept. 28, 1987 
[S.J. Res. 135] 
To designate October 1987 as "Polish American Heritage Month". 
Whereas, since the 1st immigration of Polish settlers to Jamestown 
in the 17th century, Poles and Americans of Polish descent have 
distinguished themselves by contributing to the development of 
arts, sciences, government, military service, athletics, and edu-
cation in the United States; 
Whereas Kazimierz Pulaski, Tadeusz Kosciuszko, and other sons of 
Poland came to our shores to fight in the American Revolutionary 
War and to give their lives and fortunes for the creation of the 
United States; 
Whereas the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791, was modeled 
directly on the Constitution of the United States, is recognized as 
the 2d written constitution in history, and is revered by Poles and 
Americans of Polish descent; 
Whereas Americans of Polish descent and Americans sympathetic 
to the struggle of the Polish nation to regain its freedom remain 
committed to a free and independent Polish nation; 
Whereas Poles and Americans of Polish descent take great pride in 
and honor the greatest son of Poland, His Holiness Pope John 
Paul II; 
Whereas Poles and Americans of Polish descent take great pride in 
and honor Nobel Peace Prize laureate Lech Walesa, the founder of 
the Solidarity Labor Federation; 
Whereas the Solidarity Labor Federation was founded in August 
1980 and is continuing its struggle against oppression by the 
Government of Poland; and 
Whereas the Polish American Congress is observing its 43d anniver-
sary this year and is celebrating October 1987 as Polish American
