Designating the week of May 10, 1987, through May 16, 1987, as "National Osteo- 
May 12, 1987 
porosis Prevention Week of 1987". 
[S.J. Res. 55] 
Whereas osteoporosis, a degenerative bone condition, afflicts sixteen 
million to twenty million people in the United States; 
Whereas osteoporosis afflicts 90 per centum of women over age 
seventy-five; 
Whereas 50 per centum of all women in the United States over age 
forty-five will develop some form of osteoporosis; 
Whereas hip fractures are the most disabling outcome of 
osteoporosis, and 82 per centum of women and 17 per centum of 
men who live to age ninety will likely suffer a hip fracture due 
primarily to osteoporosis; 
Whereeis the mortality rates for people who suffer a hip fracture 
increase by 20 per centum, with such fractures resulting in the 
death of over fifty thousand older women and many older men 
each year; 
Whereas 15 to 25 per centum of people who suffer a hip fracture 
stay in a long-term care facility for at least one year after the 
fracture occurs, and 25 to 35 per centum of people who return 
home from a long-term care facility after recovering from a hip 
fracture require assistance with daily living after returning home; 
Whereas the total cost to society of dealing with osteoporosis was 
$6,100,000,000 in 1983 and such cost is expected to rise as the 
population ages; 
Whereas osteoporosis is sissociated with the loss of bone mass due to 
a lack of estrogen as a result of menopause, alcohol or cigarette 
use, and low calcium intake; 
Whereas exercise and proper nutrition before an individual is age 
thirty-five will build bone mass to help prevent osteoporosis; and 
Whereas people who suffer from osteoporosis should be aware of the 
increased risk of bone fractures, and should take precautions to 
reduce the chance of accidents that may result in bone fractures 
due primarily to osteoporosis: Now, therefore, be it

fundamental civil rights; 
Whereas these elders represent every racial, religious and socio-
economic class; 
Whereas the suffering of these elders poses a threat to our families 
and to our society as a whole;

lack of information on intervention and prevention;

of our Nation's highest priorities; 
Whereas May, 1987, has been designated as "Older Americans 
Month", and provides the ideal opportunity for the people of the

the problem of elderly abuse: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United

Joint Resolution 
To designate the month of April 1987, as "National Child Abuse Prevention Month". 
Apr. 29, 1987 
[S.J. Res. 58] 
Whereas the incidence and prevalence of child abuse and neglect 
have reached alarming proportions in the United States; 
Whereas an estimated four million children become victims of child 
abuse in this Nation each year; 
Whereas an estimated five thousand of these children die as a result 
of such abuse each year; 
Whereas the Nation faces a continuing need to support innovative 
programs to prevent child abuse and assist parents and family 
members in which child abuse occurs; 
Whereas Congress has expressed its commitment to seeking and 
applying solutions to this problem by enacting the Child Abuse 
Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974; 
42 use 5101 
Whereas many dedicated individuals and private organizations, note, 
including Child Help U.S.A., Parents Anonymous, the National 
Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse, the American 
Humane Association, and other members of the National Child 
Abuse Coalition, are working to counter the ravages of abuse and 
neglect and to help child abusers break this destructive pattern of 
behavior; 
Whereeis the average cost for a public welfare agency to serve a 
family through a child abuse program is twenty times greater 
than self-help programs administered by private organizations; 
Whereas organizations such as Parents Anonymous, and other 
members of the National Child Abuse Coalition, are expediting 
efforts to prevent child abuse in the next generation through 
special programs for abused children; and 
Whereas it is appropriate to focus the attention of the Nation upon 
the problem of child abuse: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

Joint Resolution 
To designate April 10, 1987, as "Education Day U.S.A.". 
Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical 
values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and 
upon which our great Nation was founded; 
Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock 
of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as 
the Seven Noahide laws; 
Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of 
civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos; 
Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening 
of these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and 
threaten the fabric of civilized society; 
Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let 
the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to 
transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished 
past to the generations of the future; 
Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these 
ethical values and principles throughout the world; 
Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the 
Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his 
eighty-fifth birthday falls on April 10,1987; 
Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, "the rebbe" this, 
his eighty-fifth year will be seen as the year of "turn and return", 
the year in which we turn to an education which will return the 
world to the moral and ethnical values contained in the Seven 
Noahide Laws; and 
Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honor 
signed by the President of the United States and other heads of 
stat:: Now, therefore, be it 
Resjlved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That April 10, 1987, the 
birthday of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader and head 
of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as "Education

Designating the week of April 19,1987, through April 25,1987, as "National Minority 
[H.J. Res. 119] 
Cancer Awareness Week". 
Whereas the month of April each year is designated as National 
Cancer Month for the purpose of promoting increased awareness 
of the causes, t3T)es, and treatments of cancer; 
Whereas the National Cancer Institute has recognized that signifi-
cant differences exist in the incidence of cancer and survival rates 
for cancer patients between minority and economically disadvan-
~ 
taged communities in the United States and the population in 
general; 
Whereas increased awareness of the causes of cancer and available 
treatments will help reduce cancer rates among minorities and 
the economically disadvantaged through preventive measures and 
will improve survival rates for cancer patients through early 
diagnosis; 
Whereas a comprehensive national approach is needed to increase 
awareness about cancer among minorities and economically dis-
advantaged persons, and to encourage health care professionals, 
researchers, and policy makers to develop solutions to the cancer-
related problems unique to these communities; and 
Whereas focusing public attention on cancer in minority and 
economically disadvantaged communities during one week so des-
ignated will have a positive impact on preventive health care and 
treatment in these communities: 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 April 19, 
1987, through April 25, 1987, is designated as "National Minority
