United States with free access to such information; 
Whereas the Freedom of Information Act became law in 1966, and 
1986 is the 20th anniversary of the Act; 
Whereas the commemoration of the Freedom of Information Act 
should include efforts to educate the people of the United States 
with respect to the substance and principles of the Act; 
Whereas such efforts should be made by schools in the United 
States; and

To proclaim October 23, 1986, as "A Time of Remembrance" for all victims of

terrorism throughout the world. 
[S.J. Res. 249] 
Whereas the problem of terrorism h£is become an international 
concern that knows no boundaries—religious, racial, political, or 
national; 
Whereas thousands of men, women, and children have died at the 
hands of terrorists in nations around the world, and today terror-
ism continues to claim the lives of many peace-loving individuals; 
Whereas October 23, 1983, is the date on which the largest number 
of Americans were killed in a single act of terrorism—the bomb-
ing of the United States compound in Beirut, Lebanon, in which 
two hundred and forty-one United States servicemen lost their 
lives; 
Whereeis many of these victims died defending ideals of peace and 
freedom; and 
Whereas it is appropriate to honor all victims of terrorism, and in 
America to console the families of victims, and to cherish the 
freedom that their sacrifices make possible for all Americans: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That October 23, 1986, be 
proclaimed as "A Time of Remembrance", to urge all Americans to 
take time to reflect on the sacriflces that have been made in the 
pursuit of peace and freedom, and to promote active participation by 
the American people through the wearing of a purple ribbon, a 
symbol of patriotism, dignity, loyalty, and martyrdom. The Presi-
dent is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling 
upon the departments and agencies of the United States and in-
terested organizations, groups, and individuals to fly United States 
flags at half staff throughout the world in the hope that the desire 
for peace and freedom take firm root in every person and every 
nation.

To designate October 6, 1986, as "National Drug Abuse Education Day". 
Whereas drug abuse in the United States is a major health problem 
that damages our social institutions and threatens our most valu-
able human resource—our young people; 
Whereas the 1984 National Strategy for Prevention of Drug Abuse 
and Drug Trafficking stated that "prevention has come to the 
forefront as the essential element in the long-range goal of 
eliminating drug abuse"; and 
Whereas President Reagan has called drug abuse one of the gravest 
problems facing the Nation and has further warned that if we, as 
a Nation, fail to act we run the risk of losing a great part of a 
whole generation: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That (a) October 6, 1986, 
the first school day of Drug Abuse Awareness Week as established 
in Senate Joint Resolution 354, is designated as National Drug 
Abuse Education Day. The purpose of National Drug Abuse Edu-
cation Day is to focus national attention on the rapidly escalating 
threat that drug abuse poses to the Nation's health, by calling on 
the President of the United States to proclaim a national day. 
(b) As a part of National Drug Abuse Education Day, the Presi-
dent shall— 
(1) call upon every elementary and secondary school, and all 
institutions of higher education to devote the day's curriculum 
to instruction on the physiological, psychological, social, and 
legal consequences of drug use and abuse; and 
(2) call upon students, parents, community groups, and local 
law enforcement agencies to actively participate in programs 
sponsored in conjunction with National Drug Abuse Education 
Day.

Whereas public education is a community enterprise, and everyone

provide educational opportunities for learners of all ages and 
educational backgrounds, and interagency cooperation to assure 
effective use of limited resources; and
