Joint Resolution 
Designating the week beginning November 8,1992, as "Hire a Veteran Week". 
Whereas the people of the United States have a deep appreciation 
and respect for the men and women who serve our Nation in 
the Armed Forces; 
Whereas, although veterans possess special qualities and skills 
which make them ideal candidates for emplojrment, many veter-
ans encounter difQculties in securing emplojonent; 
Whereas military spending cuts and reductions-in-force in the 
Armed Forces will send tens of thousands of veterans looking 
for employment in the job market; 
Whereas it would be inconsiderate and contrary to the economic 
competitiveness of our Nation to neglect the post-military needs 
of the men and women who served our Nation in the Armed 
Forces; and 
Whereas the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of 
Labor, the Office of Personnel Management, and many State 
and local governments administer veterans programs and have 
veterans employment representatives both to ensure that veter-
ans receive tne services to which they are entitled and to promote 
employer interest in hiring veterans: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled. That the week 
beginning November 8, 1992, is hereby designated as "Hire a Vet-
eran Week", and the President is authorized and requested to 
issue a proclamation calling upon employers, labor organizations, 
veterans organizations, and Federal, State, and local governmental 
agencies to lend their support to the campaign to increase employ-
ment of the men and women who have served our Nation in the 
Armed Forces.

Joint Resolution 
To designate October 1992 as "National Breast Cancer Awareness Month". 
Sept. 24, 1992 
[S.J. Res. 303] 
Whereas breast cancer wiU strike an estimated 180,000 women 
and 1,000 men in the United States in 1992; 
Whereas, assuming an average life expectancy of 85 years, a wom-
an's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is 1 in 9; 
Whereas the risk of developing breast cancer increases as a woman 
grows older; 
Whereas breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death 
in women, and will kill an estimated 46,000 women and 300 
men in 1992; 
Whereas the 5-year survival rate for localized breast cancer has 
risen from 78 percent in the 1940s to over 90 percent today; 
Whereas most breast cancers are detected by the woman herself; 
Whereas educating both the pubUc and healtii care providers about 
the importance of early detection will result in reducing breast 
cancer mortality; 
Whereas appropriate use of screening mammography, in conjimction 
with climcal examination and breast self-examination, can result 
in the detection of many breast cancers early in their development 
and increase the survival rate to nearly 100 percent; 
Whereas data from controlled trials clearly demonstrate that deaths 
from breast cancer are signific£uitly reduced in women over the 
age of 40 by using mammography as a screening tool; 
Whereas many women are reluctant to have screening mammo-
grams for a variety of reasons, such as the cost of testing, lack 
of 
information, or fear; 
Whereas access to screening mammography is directly related to 
socioeconomic status; 
Whereas increased awareness about the importsince of screening 
mammography will result in the procedure being regularly 
requested by the patient and recommended by the health care 
provider; and 
Whereas it is projected that more women will use this lifesaving 
test as it becomes increasingly available £ind affordable: Now, 
therefore, be it

Public Law 102-369 
102d Congress 
Joint Resolution 
To designate September 13,1992, as "Commodore John Barry Day". 
Whereas John Barry, an immigrant from County Wexford, Ireland, 
volunteered his services to the Continental Navy and was commis-
sioned as captain on October 10,1775; 
Whereas during the War for Independence Captain John Barry 
achieved the first victory for the Continental Navy while in com-
mand of the ship "Lexington" by capturing the British ship 
"Edward", organized General George Washington's crossing of 
the Delaware River which led to the victory at Trenton in 1776, 
transported gold from France to America while in command of 
the ship "Alliance", and achieved the last victory of the war 
for the Continental Navy while in command of "Alliance" by 
defeating the British ship HMS Sybille; 
Whereas during the War for Independence Captain John Barry 
rejected British General Lord Howe's offer to desert the Continen-
tal Navy and join the British Navy, stating: "Not the value 
and command of the whole British fleet can lure me from the 
cause of my country."; 
Whereas after the War for Independence the United States Congress 
recognized John Barry as the premier American naval hero of 
that war; 
Whereas in 1787 Captain John Barry organized the compulsory 
attendance of members of the Constitutional Convention in 
Philadelphia, thus ensuring the quorum necessary to adopt the 
Constitution and recommend it to the States for ratification; 
Whereas on June 14, 1794, pursuant to "Commission No. 1", Presi-
dent Washington commissioned John Barry as commodore in 
the new United States Navy; 
Whereas Commodore John Barry helped to build and lead the 
new United States Navy which included his command of the 
U.S.S. United States and U.S.S. Constitution ("Old Ironsides"); 
Whereas Commodore John Barry is recognized along with General 
Stephen Moylan in the Statue of Liberty Museum as 1 of 6 
foreign-born great leaders of the War for Independence; 
Whereas in 1991 President George Bush proclaimed September 
13th, the date of John Barry's birth, as "Commodore John Barry 
Day"; and 
Whereas designating a day to commemorate Commodore John Barry 
would be important to United States Navy veterans, Irish-Ameri-
cans, and to all the people of the United States: Now, therefore, 
be it
