Oct. 6,1989 
To decngnate the week (^October 8,1989, through October 14,1989, as "National Job 
[S.J. Res. 148] 
Skills Week' 
Whereas the ability to maintain an internationally competitive and 
productive economy and a high standard of living depends on the 
development and utilization of new technologies; 
Whereas new technologies require skills that are currently lacking 
in the national workforce; 
Whereas experts in both the public and private sectors predict that 
a shortage of skilled entry-level workers will exist through the 
remainder of this century; 
Whereas young people in the United States are experiencing higher 
than normal unemployment rates because many of them lack the 
skills necessary to perform the entry-level jobs that are currently 
available; 
Whereas these yoimg people will continue to experience higher than 
normal unemployment rates unless they develop the skiUs nec-
essary to perform the entry-level jobs that become available; 
Whereas American workers who face dislocation due to plant clo-
sures and industrial relocation need special training and edu-
cation to prepare for new jobs and new opportunities; and 
Whereas a National Job Skills Week can serve to focus attention on 
present and future workforce needs, to encourage public and 
private cooperation in job training and educational efforts, and to 
highlight the technological changes underway in the workplace: 
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 8, 1989, through October 14, 1989, is designated as "Na-
tional Job Skills Week", and the President is authorized and re-
quested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the 
United States to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies

Joint Resolution 
Designating the week of September 24,1989, as "Religious Freedom Week". 
Whereas the principle of religious liberty was an essential part of 
the founding of our Nation, and must be saf^uarded with eternal 
vigilance by all men and women of good will; 
Whereas religious liberty has been endangered throughout history 
by bigotry and indifference; 
Whereas the first amendment to the Constitution of the United 
States guarantees the inalienable rights of individuals to worship 
freely or not be religious, as they choose, without interference 
from governmental or other agencies; 
Whereas the Constitution of the United States ensures religious 
freedom to all of the people of the United States; 
Whereas at Touro Synag(^ue in 1790, President Cieorge Washington 
issued his famous letter declaring ''to bigotry no sanction, to 
persecution no assistance"; 
Whereas the Touro S3mag(^ue letter advocating the doctrine of 
mutual respect and understanding was issued more than 1 year 
before the adoption of the Bill of Rights; 
Whereas the letter of President Washington and the Touro Syna-
gogu.e have become national symbols of the commitment of the 
United States to religious freedom; 
Whereas throughout our Nation's history, religion has contributed 
to the welfare of believers and of society generally, and has been a 
force for maintaining high standards for morality, ethics, and 
justice; 
Whereas religion is most free when it is observed voluntarily at 
private initiative, uncontaminated by Government interference 
and unconstrained by majority preference; and 
Whereas religious liberty can be protected only through the efforts 
of all persons of good will in a united commitment: Now, there-
fore, be it
