Joint Resolution 
Designating November 19-25, 1989, as "National Family Caregivers Week". 
Nov. 21, 1989 
[H.J. Res. 282] 
Whereas the number of Americans who are age 65 or older is 
growing; 
Whereas there has been an unprecedented increase in the number 
of persons who are £ige 85 or older; 
Whereas the incidence of frailty and disability increases among 
persons of advanced age; 
Whereas approximately 5.2 million older persons have disabilities 
that leave them in need of help with their daily tasks, including 
food preparation, dressing, and bathing; 
Whereas families provide older persons help with such tasks, in 
addition to providing between 80 and 90 percent of the medical 
care, household maintenance, transportation, and 
shopping 
needed by older persons; 
Whereas families who give care to older persons face many addi-
tional expenses, including the costs of home modifications, equip-
ment rental, and additional heating; 
Whereas 80 percent of disabled elderly persons receive care from 
their family members, most of whom are their wives, daughters, 
and daughters-in-law, who often must sacrifice employment 
opportunities to provide such care; 
Whereas the role of the aged spouse as a principal caregiver has 
generally been understated; 
Whereas family caregivers are often physically and emotionally 
exhausted from the amount of time and stress involved in 
caregiving activities; 
Whereas family caregivers need information 
about available 
community resources; 
Whereas family caregivers need respite from the strains of their 
caregiving roles; 
Whereas the contributions of family caregivers help maintain 
strong family ties and assure support among generations; and 
Whereas there is a need for greater public awareness of and support 
for the care that family caregivers are providing: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That November 
19-25, 1989, is designated "National Family Caregivers Week", and 
the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation

[H.J. Res. 278] 
Whereas Thanksgiving week has been commemorated as "National 
Adoption Week" for the past 11 years; 
r 
Whereas we in Congress recognize the essential value of belonging 
to a secure, loving permanent family as every child's basic right; 
Whereas approximately fifty thousand children who have special 
needs—school age, in sibling groups, members of minorities, or 
/ 
children with physical, mental, and emotional handicaps—are 
now in foster care or institutions financed at public expense and 
are legally free for adoption; 
Whereas the adoption by capable parents of these institutionalized 
or foster care children into permanent, adoptive homes would 
ensure the opportunity for their continued happiness and long-
range well-being; 
Whereas public and private barriers inhibiting the placement of 
these special needs children must be reviewed and removed where 
possible to assure these children's adoption; 
Whereas the public and prospective parents must be informed of the 
availability of adoptive children; 
Whereas a variety of media, agencies, adoptive parent and advocacy 
groups, civic and church groups, businesses, and industries will 
c 
feature publicity and information to heighten community aware-
ness of the crucial needs of waiting children; and 
Whereas the recognition of Thanksgiving week as "National Adop-
tion Week" is in the best interest of adoptable children and the 
public in general: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the period commenc-
ing on November 20, 1989, and ending on November 26, 1989, is 
designated as "National Adoption Week", and the President of the 
United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation

Designating November 16, 1989, as "Interstitial Cystitis Awareness Day". 
Nov. 27, 1989 
[H.J. Res. 291] 
Whereas approximately 500,000 people in the United States suffer 
from interstitial cystitis, which is an inflammation of the bladder 
wall; 
Whereas 90 percent of the victims of interstitial cystitis are women; 
Whereas a symptom of interstitial cystitis is an urgent need to 
urinate (up to 60 times a day in severe cases); 
Whereas interstitial cystitis is associated with intermittent or 
chronic pain due to the inflammation of the bladder wall; 
Whereas sometimes the pain resulting from interstitial cystitis is so 
great it causes victims to take their own lives, though interstitial 
cystitis itself is not fatal; 
Whereas the estimated economic impact in 1988 of interstitial cysti-
tis was $1,700,000,000 in medical costs and lost productivity and 
wages; 
Whereas prior to 1988, interstitial cystitis was an "orphan" disease 
and ignored by Federal funding for research; and 
Whereeis the Federal Government should substantially increase the 
funding of research of interstitial cystitis so that its funding is the 
^ 
same as other urological diseases: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That November 16, 1989, is 
designated as "Interstitial Cystitis Awareness Day". The President 
is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe that day by increasing their 
awareness of interstitial cystitis and participating in other appro-
priate activities.

Whereas the citizens of the United States have a strong tradition of 
contributing generously to the well-being of their communities 
and the Nation; 
Whereas community foundations are tax-exempt organizations 
formed to attract endowment funds and to distribute foundation 
earnings to further the well-being of their communities; 
Whereas these earnings are distributed by volunteer boards of 
directors who are knowledgeable of their communities' needs in 
areas such as education, arts and culture, social services, economic 
development, health, the environment, and civic affairs; 
Whereas community foundations augment the effectiveness of 
public and other private services by providing essential coordina-
tion to these efforts, and address community needs by providing 
leadership and resources on a permanent basis; 
Whereas community foundations are in their 75th year of existence 
in the United States, and are the fastest growing form of philan-
thropy today; 
Whereas there are now more than 300 community foundations in 
the United States with total assets of over $4,750,000,000; and 
Whereas the Nation's citizens who generously support philanthropic 
and charitable organizations should be highly commended and 
encouraged to increase and perpetuate private voluntary con-
tributions to community foundations: 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 Novem-
ber 12 through 18, 1989, is designated as "Community Foundation 
Week", £md the President is authorized and requested to issue a
