To designate the period commencing on November 15, 1987, and ending on Novem-

ber 22, 1987, as "National Arts Week". 
Whereas the performing arts, the visual arts, and literature are

celebrate the diverse cultural heritage of the United States and 
the vitality of contemporary writers, artists, and performers; and

public and private sectors to restate support of the arts: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That the period 
commencing on November 15, 1987, and ending on November 22,

Joint Resolution 
Nov. 10, 1987 
Designating the week of November 8 through November 14, 1987, as "National Food 
[H.J. Res. 368] 
Bank Week". 
Whereas although the United States is a nation of abundance, it has 
been reported that at least 20,000,000 Americans go hungry at 
some time during every month; 
Whereas the assistance of the private sector is needed to meet the 
increasing demand for food from families, children, the elderly, 
unemployed workers, and the homeless; 
Whereas an extraordinary yearlong effort to feed the hungry is 
being coordinated by Second Harvest, America's Food Bank 
Network; 
Whereas the 200 local food banks of the non-profit Second Harvest 
network are committed to channeling the surplus products of food 
manufacturers and retailers to the needy; 
Whereas Second Harvest food banks rely upon the generous dona-
tions of hundreds of national food corporations, thousands of local 
food companies, and millions of concerned individuals; 
Whereas in 1986 Second Harvest was able to distribute 352,000,000 
pounds of wholesome, nutritious food valued at $500,000,000 to 
38,000 charitable feeding programs nationwide; and 
Whereas the upcoming Thanksgiving season is a time not only to 
count one's own blessings but to support those who are extending 
a helping hand to our fellow Americans in need: 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 Novem-
ber 8 through November 14, 1987, is designated as "National Food 
Bank Week", and the President is authorized and requested to issue 
a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to 
observe such week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

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 Novem-
ber in 1987 is designated as "National Hospice Month". The Presi-
dent is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon all Govern-
ment agencies, the health care community, appropriate private 
organizations, and people of the United States to observe those 
months 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.

Designating the week beginning October 25, 1987, as "National Adult Immunization

Awareness Week". 
[S.J. Res. 168] 
Whereas the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service launched 
a decade-long initiative in 1979 to reduce preventable death and 
disease among adults in the United States; 
Whereas reducing the incidence of infectious disease through 
immunization is an objective of the initiative; 
Whereas the Surgeon General established for influenza 
an 
immunization goal of 60 percent of the elderly and individuals 
with chronic illnesses and for pneumococcal pneumonia an 
immunization goal of 60 percent of individuals over the age of 40 
and individuals weakened with underlying medical conditions; 
Whereas, by the end of 1985, only 17.6 percent of the elderly and 
individuals with chronic illnesses were immunized against in-
fluenza and 10.3 percent of individuals over the age of 40 and 
individuals weakened with underlying medical conditions were 
immunized against pneumococcal pneumonia; 
Whereas influenza, pneumonia, and other infectious diseases includ-
ing measles, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, and hepatitis B are 
among the top killers of adults in the United States particularly 
the elderly, despite readily available vaccines that have been 
proven safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration 
and could save the lives of tens of thousands of adults in the 
United States; 
Whereas reducing the incidence of infectious disease through 
immunization would help decrease the high cost of health care in 
the United States; and 
Whereas efforts to educate adults in the United States about the 
benefits of immunization generally are vital and will encourage 
more adults in the United States to be immunized against infec-
tious diseases so that the immunization goals of the Surgeon 
General are met: Now, therefore, be it

[S.J. Res. 198] 
Whereas Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder which occurs 
in children between the ages of 2 and 16 and lasts for the 
remainder of the life of each afflicted child; 
. 
; 
Whereas Tourette syndrome is characterized by repeated tic move-
ments and involuntary vocalizations which are physically debili-
tating, socially crippling, and emotionally devastating; 
Whereas an estimated 100,000 Americans currently suffer from 
Tourette syndrome and an additional 3,500,000 Americans suffer 
from less severe forms of this affliction; 
: 
Whereas the lack of knowledge about this disorder on the part of 
health professionals and the public causes additional hardships 
for those afflicted with Tourette syndrome; 
Whereas greater public understanding of Tourette syndrome will 
encourage those persons currently diagnosed as suffering from 
this disorder, and nurture hope for those who are suffering from 
the disorder but whose afflictions have not been diagnosed or have 
been diagnosed incorrectly; and 
Whereas thousands of caring volunteers and the families of persons 
afflicted with Tourette syndrome have devoted much time and

Joint Resolution 
Oct. 28, 1987 
To designate the month of November 1987, as "National Family Bread Baking 
[S.J. Res. 163] 
Month". 
Whereas baking bread in the home is a long-standing American 
tradition, and has contributed to the well being and nutrition of 
the family since the earliest days of colonial settlement; 
Whereas family bread baking utilizes American 
agricultural 
commodities and the products thereof (notably wheat, rye, corn, 
dairy products, sugar, and eggs), resulting in a significant con-
tribution to the economies of the States in which these commod-
ities are grown and produced; 
Whereas homemade bread provides health benefits and valuable 
nutrients to the American diet; and 
Whereas family bread baking contributes to the strength and unity 
of the family, and provides an important means for educating 
future generations about American traditions and values: 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 Novem-
ber 1987, is designated as "National Family Bread Baking Month", 
and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclama-
tion calling on the people of the United States to observe such 
month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
