Joint Resolution 
To designate July 25, 1987 as "Clean Water Day". 
Whereas fresh, pure water is inextricably linked to our Nation's 
culture and heritage and is an invaluable resource to be cherished 
and protected; 
Whereas every American should be able to draw upon the abundant 
resources of our rivers, lakes, streams, and underground water 
supplies to enjoy clean and safe drinking water; 
Whereas our coastal waters produce a rich bounty of fish and 
seafood without equal, and our inland waters nourish an agricul-
tural system that feeds the world; 
Whereas millions of Americans and visitors to our Nation enjoy our 
rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans for fishing, swimming, boating, 
and other recreation each year; 
Whereas the Nation's trade and commerce were built upon our 
waterways, and water related jobs bring continued vitality to our 
economy; and 
Whereas it is important to recognize and appreciate the natural 
beauty and wealth that our waterways have to offer us: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That July 25, 1987, is 
designated as "Clean Water Day", and the President is authorized 
and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the 
United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and 
activities.

[S.J. Res. 51] 
Whereas since the immigration of the first documented Czech set-
tler, Augustine Herman, to New Amsterdam in 1633, Czechs and 
Americans of Czech descent have played a vital role as contribu-
tors to United States rural and urban life; 
Whereas Czech immigrants, seeking religious, economic, and politi-
cal freedom, have throughout the years contributed significantly 
to the arts, sports, education, and commerce; 
Whereas Czech immigrants, fleeing the communist regime in 1948 
and the 1968 Soviet led invasion of Czechoslovakia, represent the 
latest in the tradition of Czech immigrants seeking political free-
dom in the United States, and are particularly noteworthy for 
their impressive contributions in literature and other intellectual 
and professional pursuits; 
Whereas in the 19th century Czech immigrants established hun-
dreds of gymnastic clubs, known as "sokols", throughout the 
United States, and this dedication and aptitude for sports contin-
ues and is well embodied in the accomplishments of the recent 
Czech immigrant, Martina Navratilova, the number one ranked 
women's tennis player in the world for the past five consecutive 
years; and 
Whereas the state of Nebraska has the largest percentage of Czech 
descendants per capita, and the town of Wilber, Nebraska, known 
as the Czech capital of the United States, celebrates its 26th 
Annual National Czech Festival on August 1-2, 1987: Now, there-

[H.J. Res. 181] 
Commemorating the bicentennial of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. 
Whereas, on July 13, 1787, the Congress of the United States, which 
was established by the Articles of Confederation, enacted a law 
entitled "An Ordinance for the government of the territory of the 
United States northwest of the river Ohio"; 
Whereas such law, commonly known as the Northwest Ordinance, 
provided civil government for and opened to settlement the North-
west Territory from which all or part of the States of Ohio, 
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota were subse-
quently formed; 
Whereas the Northwest Ordinance provided that States formed in 
the Northwest Territory would be admitted into the Union on an 
equal footing with the original States, and admission into the 
Union on this basis was subsequently applied to States formed in 
other territories of the United States; 
Whereas the Northwest Ordinance led to the orderly development of 
the Northwest Territory; 
Whereas the Northwest Ordinance recognized the dignity of the 
individual without regard to race, religion or origin and provided 
for the equality of civil rights for all people by prohibiting slavery 
and involuntary servitude in the Territory, thereby preceding the 
Bill of Rights; 
Whereas the Northwest Ordinance encouraged public education by 
providing for free public education within the local community: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the Northwest Ordi-
nance of 1787 is hereby commemorated as one of the fundamental 
legal documents of the United States in that the Northwest Ordi-
nance is an early example of the commitment of the people of the 
United States to democratic principles, religious freedom, and 
individual rights. The President of the United States is authorized

Designating the month of November 1987 as "National Alzheimer's Disease Month". 
[S.J. Res. 15] 
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 the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Associa-
tion may stimulate the interest and concern of the American 
people, which may lead, in turn, to increased research and eventu-
ally 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-

Whereas the Statue of Liberty has been the symbol of freedom,

ence and liberty; 
Whereas the torch held by the Statue of Liberty serves as a beacon 
of freedom that lives in the soul of every American; 
Whereas on October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty began to greet 
immigrants who came to America in pursuit of their dreams; and 
Whereas it is only fitting that we set aside October 28,1987, as a day 
of celebration to honor the immigrants welcomed by the burn-
