May 23, 1989 
[S.J. Res. 68] 
Whereas more than eight million individuals in the United States 
suffer traumatic injury each year; 
Whereas traumatic injury is the leading cause of death of individ-

Whereas every individual is a potential victim of traumatic injury; 
Whereas traumatic injury can occur without warning; 
Whereas traumatic iiy'ury frequently renders its victims incapable

Whereas past inattention to the causes and effects of trauma has led

To designate the week beginning May 7, 1989, as "National Correctional Officers

Week". 
[H.J. Res. 135] 
Whereas American correctional officers who work in our jails and 
prisons are currently responsible for the containment and control 
of over six hundred thousand prisoners; 
Whereas correctional officers must protect inmates from violence 
while encouraging them to develop skills and attitudes that can 
help them become productive members of society following their 
release; 
Whereas the morale of correctional officers is affected by many 
factors, and the public perception of the role of correctional 
officers is more often based upon dramatization rather than fac-
tual review; 
Whereas good job performance requires correctional officers to 
absorb the adverse attitudes present in confinement while 
maintaining themselves as professionals in order to have their ^ 
actions appreciated and accepted by the public at lai^e; 
Whereas correctional officers had been similarly honored by many 
States and localities; 
Whereas correctional officers had been similarly honored by a joint ~
^ 
resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States in Congress assembled in 1984, 1985, and 1987; and 
Whereas the attitude and morale of correctional officers is a matter 
worthy of serious congressional attention: 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 May 7, 1989, hereby is designated "National Correctional Offi-
cers Week" and the President of the United States is authorized and

Whereas the Act of May 8, 1914 (38 Stat. 372), as amended, com-
monly known as the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, has fostered 
through the United States Department of Agriculture the develop-
ment of a system of State Cooperative Extension Services in 
coiyunction with our Nation's land-grant colleges and universities 
which disseminates and encourages the application of research-
generated knowledge and leadership techniques to individuals, 
families and communities; 
Whereas the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 has contributed greatly in 
assisting American farm families with the efficient production of 
a reliable supply of food and fiber for consumers in this country 
and worldwide; 
Whereas the Cooperative Extension System has done much to help 
rural and urban adults and youth help themselves as they have 
steadily improved their qu^dity of life and leadership ability; and 
Whereas the relationship existing between the Federal, State and 
county extension services has provided for citizen input to re-
search and educational programs of USDA and the land-grant 
universities for three quarters of a century: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That it is the sense of the 
Congress that the Cooperative Extension System should continue to 
be supported as an important investment in the Nation's future, and 
that the seventy-fifth anniversary of the enactment of the Smith-
Lever Act of 1914 should be commemorated on May 8,1989.

Whereas osteoporosis, a degenerative bone condition, 
afflicts 
25,000,000 people in the United States; 
Whereas osteoporosis afflicts 90 percent of women over age 75; 
Whereas 50 percent of all women in the United States over age 45 
will develop some form of osteoporosis; 
! 
f 
Whereas hip fractures 
are the most disabling outcome of 
osteoporosis, and 32 percent of women and 17 percent of men who 
live to age 90 will likely suffer a hip fracture due primarily to 
osteoporosis; 
Whereas the mortality rates for people who suffer a hip fracture 
increase by 20 percent, with such fractures resulting in the death 
of over 50,000 older women and many older men each year; 
Whereas 15 to 25 percent of people who suffer a hip fracture stay in 
a long-term care facility for at least one year after the fracture 
occurs, and 25 to 35 percent of people who return home from a 
long-term care facility after recovering from a hip fracture re-
quire assistance with daily living after returning home; 
Whereas the total cost to society of dealing with osteoporosis was 
over $10,000,000,000 in 1988 and such cost is expected to rise as 
the population ages; 
Whereas osteoporosis is associated with the loss of bone mass due to 
a lack of estrogen £is a result of menopause, alcohol or cigarette 
use, and low calcium intake; 
Whereas exercise and proper nutrition before an individual is age 35 
will build bone mass to help prevent osteoporosis; and 
Whereas people who suffer from osteoporosis should be aware of the 
increased risk of bone fractures, and should take precautions to 
reduce the chance of accidents that may result in bone fractures 
due primarily to osteoporosis: Now, therefore, be it

[S.J. Res. 60] 
Whereas water itself is God-given, and the drinking water that flows 
dependably through our household taps results from the dedica-
tion of men and women who operate the public water systems of 
collection, storage, treatment, testing, and distribution that 
insures that drinking water is available, affordable, and of 
unquestionable quality; 
Whereas the advances in health effects research and water analysis 
and treatment technologies, in conjunction with the Safe Drink-
ing Water Act Amendments of 1986 (Public Law 99-339), could 
create major changes in the production and distribution of drink-
ing water; 
Whereas this substance, which the public uses with confidence in so 
many productive ways, is without doubt the single most important 
product in the world and a significant issue of the future; 
Whereas the public expects high quality drinking water to always be 
there when needed; and 
Whereas the public continues to increase its demand for drinking 
water of unquestionable quality: 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 May 1, 1989, is designated as "National Drinking Water 
Week", and the President is authorized and requested to issue a

such period with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs 
designated to enhance public awareness of drinking water issues 
and public recognition of the difference that drinking water makes 
to the health, safety, and quality of the life we enjoy.
