Designating the week of October 18, 1987, through October 24, 1987, as "Benign 
[H.J. Res. 224] 
Essential Blepharospasm Awareness Week". 
Whereas benign essential blepharospasm is a little known eye-
related disease, causing involuntary and usually uncontrollable 
spastic contraction of muscles around the eyes; 
Whereas approximately 25,000 to 30,000 Americans are afflicted 
with blepharospasm, which is progressive and ultimately causes 
functional blindness; 
Whereas the Benign Essential Blepharospasm Research Foundation, 
Incorporated, was begun with the purpose of finding the cause and 
a successful cure for benign essential blepharospasm; 
Whereas this important foundation sponsors programs and activi-
ties to create an awareness of blepharospasm in the medical 
community as well as in the general public, organizes support 
groups throughout the country to encourage communication 
among persons with the disease, and it seeks to raise money 
through public and private contributions to be used for research; 
Whereas research scientists from around the country are extremely 
interested in research on this little known malady and are submit-
ting grant applications to the National Institutes of Health to 
study benign essential blepharospasm; and 
Whereas increased public awareness of the disease and its victims 
will be a tremendous benefit to the victims of this disease and will 
lead to increased medical research and awareness, as well as 
available information and advice for those afflicted with benign 
essential blepharospasm: 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 
October 18, 1987, through October 24, 1987, is hereby designated as

Designating the week of September 13 through September 19, 1987, as "National 
Aug. 20, 1987 
Reye's Syndrome Awareness Week". 
[H.J. Res. 335] 
Whereas Reye's Syndrome is a disease of unknown cause that 
swiftly strikes children, adolescents and adults recovering from a 
viral illness; 
Whereas because Reye's Syndrome has no cure, over 30 percent of 
its victims die and another 15-25 percent are left with brain 
damage; 
Whereas recent medical research has proven a link between the use 
of aspirin (salicylate) and the development of Reye's Syndrome; 
Whereas the Surgeon General, the Center for Disease Control, the 
American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Reye's Syn-
drome Foundation have issued warnings against the use of aspirin 
for children and young adults recovering from influenza-like ill-
nesses and chicken pox; 
Whereas the symptoms of Reye's Syndrome are unfamiliar to most 
citizens and health professionals, and this lack of knowledge often 
leads to misdiagnosis and improper treatment; 
Whereas the current reporting of cases does not provide a true count 
of the incidence of the disease since comprehensive records are not 
maintained throughout the United States and more cases are 
annually reported to the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation 
than to the Center for Disease Control; 
Whereas the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation is a volunteer 
organization with affiliates established throughout the continen-
tal United States and is supported by thousands of volunteers; 
Whereas the goals of the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation are 
to assist in the communication of information on Reye's Syndrome 
to the general public and the medical community, to stimulate the 
scientific community by sponsoring symposiums, to support re-
search that will identify the cause, develop a cure and lead to the 
prevention of Reye's Syndrome, to give families experiencing the 
personal trauma of Reye's Syndrome support and guidance, and to 
encourage the Federal Government to support and sponsor Reye's 
Syndrome research; and 
Whereas there has been a lack of urgency to resolve the mystery of 
Reye's Syndrome at the Federal level: 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 Septem-
ber 13 through September 19, 1987, is designated as "National 
101 STAT. 732

and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the 
United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and 
activities.

Whereas Lupus Er5rthematosus is a disease of unknown cause that 
affects over five-hundred thousand people in the United States, 90 
percent of whom are women in their childbearing years; 
Whereas Lupus Er3^hematosus, though not a rare disease, is un-
familiar even to some physicians which may result in the disease 
being misdieignosed or diagnosed too late; 
Whereas Lupus Erythematosus in the most severe form can be fatal; 
Whereas The Lupus Foundation of America, Inc., its constituent 
chapters, and other voluntary health organizations are estab-
lished throughout the United States to serve and support victims 
of lupus and their families, encourage funding for research, and 
increase public awareness; and 
Wheregis the public and the Federal Government are not sufficiently 
aware of the incidence of Lupus Er3^hematosus: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United

To designate November 17, 1987, as "National Community Education Day". 
Whereas pubHc education is a community enterprise, and everyone 
in the community has a stake in the mission of educating adults 
as well as the community's children; 
Whereas local citizens have a right and a responsibility to be 
involved in deciding how the educational resources of the commu-
nity should be used; 
Whereas education reform should, in the words of A Nation at Risk, 
"focus on the goal of creating a Learning Society"; 
Whereas the goal of community education is to promote parental 
involvement, lifelong learning, and educational partnerships; 
Whereas each community should promote the use of community 
resources in schools and colleges, citizen involvement 
in 
educational decisionmaking, the use of community resources to 
provide educational opportunities for learners of all £iges and 
educational backgrounds, and interagency cooperation to assure 
effective use of limited resources; and 
Whereas community education encourages the participation of all 
generations: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United

Whereas educating the young people of the United States is essen-

Whereas the communication of the educational achievements of 
students and educational institutions in the United States has a 
vital impact on the people of the United States; 
Whereas school yearbooks provide vivid pictorial and editorial in-
sights into such educational achievements; 
Whereas the thousands of young people who produce school year-
books each year receive significant editorial, photographic, and 
business experiences; 
Whereas a recent study conducted by the American College Testing 
Program has shown that college freshmen who worked on a 
yearbook staff in high school have higher ACT composite scores, 
perform better on standardized college writing tests, and achieve 
higher grade point averages during their first year of college than 
freshmen with no high school yearbook experience;

Whereas the United States has fought in many wars; 
Whereas thousands of Americans who served in such wars were 
captured by the enemy or are missing in action; 
Whereas many American prisoners of war were subjected to brutal
