Joint Resolution 
June 13, 1991 
To designate the week beginning June 9, 1991, as "National Scleroderma Awareness 
[H.J. Res. 219] 
Week". 
Whereas scleroderma is a disease caused by excessive production of 
collagen, the main fibrous component of connective tissue, the 
effects of which are hardening of the skin and internal org£m.s, 
such as the esophagus, lungs, kidney, and heart; 
Whereas approximately 300,000 people in the United States suffer 
from scleroderma, and women of childbearing years suffer from 
the disease 3 times more frequently than men; 
Whereas scleroderma, a painful, crippling, and disfiguring disease, 
is often progressive and can result in premature death; 
Whereas the symptoms of scleroderma are variable and therefore 
complicate and confuse diagnosis of the disease; 
Whereas the cause of and cure for scleroderma are unknown; and 
Whereas scleroderma is an orphan disease that requires intensive 
research to improve treatment and to discover its cause and cure: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the. United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week beginning 
June 9, 1991, is designated as "National Scleroderma Awareness 
Week", and the President is authorized and requested to issue a 
proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe 
the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

[H.J. Res. 141] 
Whereas in fiscal year 1991 over 145,000,000 meals will be served in 
congregate settings to approximately 2,700,000 Americans age 60 
and over, meeting the needs of both good nutrition and fellowship; 
Whereas in fiscal year 1991 over 115,000,000 home-delivered meals 
will also be served to approximately 728,000 Americans age 60 and 
over; 
Whereas the dedication of staff and volunteers in helping older 
people receive hot nutritious meals each day ensures the contin-
ued well-being and independence of so many older Americans; 
Whereas community-based congregate and home-delivered meal 
programs make possible the joint use of public and private funds 
and resources to serve older people; and 
Whereas since 1963 the month of May has been designated as 
"Older Americans Month": Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

Joint Resolution 
To designate the month of May 1991, as "National Huntington's Disease Awareness

Month". 
[S.J. Res. 127] 
Whereas 25,000 Americans are victims of Huntington's Disegise, a 
fatal, hereditary, neurological disorder; 
Whereas an additional 125,000 Americans have a 50 percent chance 
of inheriting the gene responsible for Huntington's Disease from 
an affected parent, and are considered to be "at-risk" for the 
disease; 
Whereas tens of thousands of other Americans experience the 
destructive effects of the disease, including suffering from the 
social stigma associated with the disease, assuming the difficult 
role of caring for a loved victim of the disease, witnessing the 
prolonged, irreversible physical and mental deterioration of a 
loved one, and agonizing over the death of a loved one; 
Whereas at present there is no cure for Huntington's Disease and no 
means available to retard or reverse the effects of the disease; 
Whereas a victim of the later stages of Huntington's Disease invari-
ably requires total personal care, the provision of which often 
results in devastating financial consequences for the victim and 
the victim's family; 
Whereas recent advances in the field of molecular genetics have 
enabled scientists to locate approximately the gene-site respon-
sible for Huntington's Disease; 
Whereas many of the novel techniques resulting from these ad-
vsinces have also been instrumental in locating the gene-sites 
responsible for familial Alzheimer's Disease, manic depression, 
kidney cancer and other disorders; 
Whereas increased Federal funding of medical research could facili-
tate additional advances and result in the discovery of the cause 
and chemical processes of Huntington's Disease and the develop-
ment of strategies to stop and reverse the progress of the disease; 
Whereas Huntington's Disease t5rpifies other late-onset, behavioral 
genetic disorders by presenting the victim and the victim's family 
with a broad range of biomedical, psychological, social, and eco-
nomic problems; and 
Whereas in the absence of a cure for Huntington's Disease, victims 
of the disesise deserve to live with dignity and be regarded as full 
and respected family members and members of society: 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 
[^ 
May 1991, is designated as "National Huntington's Disease Aware-
ness Month", and the President is authorized and requested to issue 
a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe 
such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

Whereas today there are more than 250,000 licensed foster families

in their own home; 
Whereas foster parents devotedly and unselfishly open their homes 
and family lives to foster children in need; 
Whereas foster parents are a vital part in permanency planning to 
protect the best interests of a foster child; 
Whereas foster parents work cooperatively with human service 
agencies and biological parents to strengthen family life; 
Wheresis foster parents must have the commitment of the national. 
State and local communities in terms of funding, support, and
