A joint resolution to designate the months of November 1991, and November 1992, as "National Alzheimer's Disease Month".

102d Congress 
Joint Resolution 
To designate the months of November 1991, and November 1992, as "National 
Nov. 13, 1991 
Alzheimer's Disesise Month". 
[S.J. Res. 36] 
Whereas over 4 million United States citizens are affected by Alz-
heimer's disease, a surprisingly common degenerative disease 
which attacks the brain, impairs memory and thinking, alters 
behavior, and renders its victims incapable of self care; 
Whereas it is estimated that by the middle of the 21st century, 
Alzheimer's disease will strike 14 million United States citizens, 
affecting one in every three families; 
Whereas Alzheimer's disease is not a normal consequence of aging, 
but a disorder of the brain for which no cause has been deter-
mined and no treatment or cure has been found; 
Whereas Alzheimer's disease is the quintessential long-term care 
problem, requiring constant full-time care for its victims, who can 
suffer from the disease for 8 to 20 years, at a total annual cost to 
the Nation of at least $90 billion; 
Whereas families of Alzheimer's patients bear the overwhelming 
physical, emotional, and financial burden of care, and neither 
public programs, including medicare, nor private insurance pro-
vide protection for most of these families; 
Whereas 80 percent of all Alzheimer's patients receive care in their 
own homes; 
Whereas nearly half of all residents of nursing homes suffer from 
Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia; and 
Whereas increased national awareness of Alzheimer's disease and 
recognition of national organizations such as the Alzheimer's 
Association may stimulate increased commitment to long-term 
care services to support Alzheimer's patients and their families 
and a greater investment in research to discover methods to 
prevent the disease, delay its onset, and eventually to find a cure 
for the disease: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America 
in Congress assembled, That the months of 
105 STAT. 1044 
PUBLIC LAW 102-160—NOV. 13, 1991 
November 1991, and November 1992, are designated as "National 
Alzheimer's Disease Month", and the President is authorized and 
requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the 
United States to observe such months with appropriate ceremonies 
and activities.

Joint Resolution 
Designating the week beginning November 10, 1991, as "National Women Veterans 
Nov. 13,1991 
Recognition Week". 
[S.J. Res. 145] 
Whereas there are more than 1,200,000 women veterans in the 
United States representing 4.2 percent of the total veteran popu-
lation; 
Whereas the number of women serving in the United States Armed 
Forces and the number of women veterans continue to increase; 
Whereas women veterans have contributed greatly to the security of 
the United States through honorable military service, often 
involving great hardship and danger; 
Whereas women are performing a wider range of tasks in the 
United States Armed Forces, as demonstrated by the participation 
of women in the military actions taken in Panama and the 
Persian Gulf region; 
Whereas the special needs of women veterans, especially in the area 
of health care, have often been overlooked or inadequately ad-
dressed by the Federal (Government; 
Whereas the lack of attention to the special needs of women veter-
ans has discouraged or prevented many women veterans from 
taking full advantage of the benefits and services to which they 
are entitled; and 
Whereas designating a week to recognize women veterans will help 
both to promote important gains made by women veterans and to 
focus attention on the special needs of women veterans: Now, 
therefore, be it 
105 STAT. 1046 
PUBLIC LAW 102-161—NOV. 13, 1991 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United

102d Congress 
Joint Resolution 
Designating November 1991 as "National Red Ribbon Month". 
Whereas the most frequently committed crime in America is drunk 
driving; 
Whereas each year on our Nation's highways more than forty-five 
thousand people lose their lives due to auto crashes, approxi-
mately half of these involving alcohol; 
Whereas more than three hundred and forty-five thousand people 
are injured in alcohol-related crashes each year; 
Whereas Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is an organiza-
tion of nearly three million members and supporters across the 
Nation which has had a major impact on reducing death on our 
highways; 
Whereas in November 1991 MADD will launch a major holiday 
public awareness campaign by asking America to "Tie One On 
For Safety" this holiday season; and 
Whereas beginning in November MADD and other concerned 
groups will distribute more than ninety million red ribbons 
nationwide to create awareness about the dangers of drinking and 
driving: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That November 1991 is 
designated as "National Red Ribbon Month", and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate 
activities devoted to reducing death and injury on our Nation's 
highways due to drinking and driving.

To designate the week beginning November 10, 1991, as "Hire a Veteran Week". 
Whereas the people of the United States have both a deep apprecia-

local governments administer veterans programs and have veter-
ans employment representatives both to ensure that veterans 
receive the 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 10, 1991, is hereby designated as "Hire a Veteran Week",
