100th Congress 
Joint Resolution 
Aug. 22, 1988 
[H.J. Res. 417] 
Designating May 1989 as "Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month". 
Whereas neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder which causes 
tumors to grow in the human nervous system; 
Whereas neurofibromatosis is the most common tumor-causing 
genetic disorder of the nervous system; 
Whereas neurofibromatosis is a potentially debilitating disorder 
which strikes males and females of all races and ethnic groups; 
Whereas neurofibromatosis can strike in any part of the nervous 
system, at any time; 
Whereas the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation, Inc., is a 
voluntary health organization, with chapters across the Nation, 
which was established to serve people with neurofibromatosis and 
their families, to stimulate and support biomedical research on 
neurofibromatosis, 
and 
to 
increase 
public 
awareness 
of 
neurofibromatosis and its consequences; 
Whereas the public and the Federal Government are not sufficiently 
aware of neurofibromatosis: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That May 1989 is des-
ignated as "Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month", and the Presi-
dent is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling 
upon the people of the United States to observe such month with 
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

100th Congress 
Joint Resolution 
Aug. 19, 1988 
[H.J. Res. 525] 
To designate the month of November 1988 as "National Hospice Month". 
Whereas hospice care has been demonstrated to be a humanitarian 
way for terminally ill patients to approach the end of their lives in 
comfort with appropriate, competent, and compassionate care in 
an environment of personal individuality and dignity; 
Whereas hospice advocates care for the patient and family by 
attending to their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and, 
specifically, the pain and grief they experience; 
Whereas hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of 
physicians, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, psychological and 
spiritual counselors, and other community volunteers trained in 
the hospice concept of care; 
Whereas hospice is rapidly becoming a full partner in the Nation's 
health care system; 
Whereas the recent enactment of a permanent medicare hospice 
benefit and an optional medicaid hospice benefit makes it possible 
for many more Americans to have the opportunity to elect to 
receive hospice care; 
Whereas private insurance carriers and employers have recognized 
the value of hospice care by the inclusion of hospice benefits in 
health care coverage packages; and 
Whereas there remains a great need to increase public awareness of 
the benefits of hospice care: 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 
November 1988 is designated as "National Hospice Month". The 
President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon all 
Government agencies, the health care community, appropriate pri-
vate organizations, and people of the United States to observe the 
month with appropriate forums, programs, and activities designed 
to encourage national recognition of and support for hospice care as 
a humane response to the needs of the terminally ill and as a viable 
component of the health care system in this country.

—— 
[H.J. Res. 140] 
Whereas the people of the United States are the heirs and bene-
ficiaries of the courageous men and women who struggled to 
achieve legal and social equality in the United States for men and 
women of every race, religion, and country; 
Whereas such men and women include Martin Luther King, Jr., 
Susan B. Anthony, and Mary McLeod Bethune; 
Whereas the people of the United States should not forget that 
constant vigilance is necessary to ensure the protection of civil 
rights and much yet remains to be accomplished with respect to 
securing civil rights for all the people of the United States; 
Whereas in August 1963 Martin Luther King, Jr., led a march in 
Washington, D.C, to demonstrate the need for legislation to pro-
tect the civil rights of the people of the United States; 
Whereas August 12, 1988, is an appropriate date on which to 
commemorate the progress made in securing civil rights and the 
need for continued progress; and 
Whereas the National Civil Rights Museum and Hall of Fame will 
be constructed in Gary, Indiana, to pay continued tribute to the 
fallen national heroes of civil rights and the cause that they 
embraced: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That August 12, 1988, is 
designated as "National Civil Rights Day", and the President of the 
United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
calling upon the people of the United States— 
(1) to pause for a minute of silence at noon on such day to pay 
tribute to the men and women who have struggled to secure 
civil rights for all the people of the United States, 
(2) to ring church bells 11 times during the minute of silence 
as a reminder that the hour is late with respect to continuing 
progress in securing civil rights for all the people of the United 
States, and 
(3) to observe such day with other appropriate ceremonies and 
activities.

Aug. 16,1988 
[S.J. Res. 294] 
Designating August 9, 1988, as "National Neighborhood Crime Watch Day". 
Whereas neighborhood crime is of continuing concern to the Amer-

Whereas neighborhood crime watch organizations are effective at 
promoting awareness about, and the participation of volunteers

Whereas neighborhood crime watch groups can contribute to the 
Nation's war on drugs by helping to prevent their communities 
from becoming markets for drug dealers; and 
Whereas citizens across America will soon take part in a "National 
Night Out", a unique crime prevention event which will dem-
onstrate the importance and effectiveness of community participa-
tion in crime prevention efforts by having people spend the period 
from 8 to 10 o'clock post meridian on August 9, 1988, with their

Whereas, German-Americans, through their work and contributions 
to the culture of the United States since the arrival of the first 
German immigrants in the United States on October 6, 1683, have 
earned this very special day and tribute to their achievements; 
Whereas, as they have before, so will Americans of German descent 
continue to contribute to the life and culture of the United States, 
and will work for and will support the Government of the United 
States, its democratic principles and the freedom of all people 
ever3^where; 
Whereas such contributions should be recognized and celebrated in

Designating Labor Day Weekend, September 3-5, 1988, as "National Drive for Life 
Aug. 16, 1988 
Weekend". 
[S.J. Res. 350] 
Whereas drunk-driving is the most frequently committed crime in 
the United States, with arrests for driving while intoxicated 
totalling more than three times the number of arrests for all 
violent crimes combined; 
Whereas one individual in the United States was killed every 22 
minutes in a drunk-driving related crash in 1987, an average of 65 
individuals each day; 
Whereas approximately 23,632 individuals were killed in the United 
States in drunk-driving related crashes in 1987; 
Whereas two out of every five individuals in the United States will 
be involved in a drunk-driving related crash at some point in their 
lives; 
Whereas the estimates of the economic costs of drunk-driving in the 
United States are as high as $24 billion; 
Whereas on October 24, 1987, Mothers Against Drunk Driving and 
Volkswagen United States, Inc., sponsored the first annual 
National Drive for Life day; 
Whereas Drive for Life is a public awareness campaign which asks 
all Americans to pledge not to drink and drive on the Drive for 
Life day and thereby demonstrate a commitment to reduce signifi-
cantly the tragedies of drunk-driving, and which serves to educate 
the public about the dangers of drunk-driving; 
Whereas on the first annual National Drive for Life day, the toll of 
individuals killed in drunk-driving related crashes in the United 
States was 27.5 percent lower than the average number of deaths 
due to drunk-driving related crashes on an average Autumn 
Saturday in 1986, reflecting the success of this campaign; 
Whereas the first annual National Drive for Life campaign featured 
endorsements from Nancy Reagan and other prominent public 
officials; and 
Whereas the second annual National Drive for Life day will occur 
on September 3, 1988, the Saturday of the Labor Day Weekend, 
when drunk-driving related crashes are traditionally at their 
peak: Now, therefore, be it 
102 STAT. 984

appropriate activities.
