Whereas exposure to radon poses a serious threat to the health of 
the people of this Nation; 
Whereas the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that lung 
cancer attributable to radon exposure causes approximately 
twenty thousand deaths a year in the United States;

making the air inside buildings as free of radon as the ambient 
air; 
Whereas excessively high levels of radon in homes and schools 
can be reduced successfully and economically with appropriate 
treatment; 
Whereas only about 2 percent of the homes in this Nation have been 
tested for radon levels; 
Whereas the people of this Nation should be educated about the 
dangers of exposure to radon; and 
Whereas people should be encouraged to conduct tests for radon in 
their homes and schools and to make the repairs required to 
reduce excessive radon levels: 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 Octo-

Designating October 1990 as "National Domestic Violence Awareness Month". 
Whereas it is estimated that a woman is battered every 15 seconds 
in the United States; 
Whereas domestic violence is the single largest cause of injury to 
women in the United States, affecting 6,000,000 women; 
WhereEis urban and rural women of all racial, social, religious,

and lifestyles are affected by domestic violence; 
Whereas 31 percent of female homicide victims in 1988 were killed 
by their husbands or boyfriends; 
Whereas one-third of the domestic violence incidents involve felo-
nies, specifically, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault; 
Whereas in 50 percent of families where the wife is being abused, 
the children of that family are also abused; 
Whereas some individuals in law enforcement and the judicial 
system continue to think of spousal abuse as a "private" matter 
and are hesitant to intervene and treat domestic assault as a 
crime; 
Whereas in 1987, over 375,000 women, plus their children, were 
provided emergency shelter in domestic violence shelters and safe 
homes, and the number of women and children that were shel-
tered by domestic violence programs increased by 164,000 between 
1983 and 1987; 
Whereas 40 percent of women in need of shelter may be turned 
away due to a lack of shelter space; 
Whereas the nationwide efforts to help the victims of domestic 
violence need to be expanded and coordinated; 
Whereas there is a need to increase the public awareness and 
understanding of domestic violence and the needs of-battered 
women and their children; and 
WhereEis the dedication and successes of those working to end 
domestic violence and the strength of the survivors of domestic 
violence should be recognized: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That October 1990 is

the world; 
Whereas Yosemite National Park possesses outstanding rec-
reational values and supreme scenic attractions, including alpine 
and subalpine wilderness, three groves of giant sequoia trees and 
thundering waterfalls that are among the world's highest; 
Whereas Yosemite was the birthplace of the idea of the Sierra Club; 
Whereas Yosemite plays an important role in wildlife preservation 
and preserving biological diversity; 
Whereas Yosemite is a world heritage site which has made a 
significant contribution to California's cultural heritage, to the 
national park movement, and to Yosemite's 4,000 years of cultural 
heritage by Native Americans; 
Whereas Yosemite provides solitude and inspiration and serves as 
an outdoor classroom for environmental education; 
Whereas each year Yosemite National Park welcomes millions of 
people from around the world; and 
Whereas Yosemite National Park was established on October 1, 
1890, and is the Nation's third oldest national park: Now, there-
