Joint Resolution 
Mar. 28, 1988 
[S.J. Res. 229] 
To designate the day of April 1, 1988, as "Run to Daylight Day". 
Whereas between one million and one million eight hundred thou-
sand people in the United States suffer head injuries each year; 
Whereas twenty years ago 90 per centum of the people who suffered 
severe head injuries died as a result of such injuries, but currently 
the survival rate for such injuries is 50 per centum; 
Whereas most people who suffer head injuries are under thirty 
years of age and will survive such injuries for at least forty years; 
Whereas more than fifty thousand of the people who survive head 
injuries annually are unable to resume their normal lifestyles 
without intensive physical and psychological therapy; 
Whereas the long term rehabilitation that is available for survivors 
of head injuries has not improved at the same rate as the medical 
treatment of such injuries; 
Whereas Run to Daylight, a nonprofit corporation concerned with 
improving the rehabilitation that is available for survivors of 
head injuries, is sponsoring a three-thousand-six-hundred-mile 
run across the United States called the "Run to Daylight"; 
Whereas the purpose of the "Run to Daylight" is to raise the 
awareness of the people of the United States about the rehabilita-
tion needs of survivors of head injuries and to raise funds to 
support the National Head Injury Foundation, an organization 
dedicated to improving the quality of life for survivors of such 
injuries and their families and to developing and supporting 
programs to prevent such injuries; and 
Whereas the "Run to Daylight" will begin in San Francisco, Califor-
nia, on April 1, 1988, and will end in Boston, Massachusetts, on 
June 30,1988: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That April 1, 1988, is 
designated as "Run to Daylight Day", and the President is au-
thorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people 
of the United States to observe such day with appropriate cere-
monies and activities.

Public Law 100-279 
100th Congress 
Joint Resolution 
To designate March 29,1988, as "Education Day, U.S.A.". 
Whereas Congress recognizes the historical tradition of ethical 
values and principles which are the basis of civilized society and 
upon which our great Nation was founded; 
Whereas these ethical values and principles have been the bedrock 
of society from the dawn of civilization, when they were known as 
the Seven Noahide Laws; 
Whereas without these ethical values and principles the edifice of 
civilization stands in serious peril of returning to chaos; 
Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening 
of these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and 
threaten the fabric of civilized society; 
Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let 
the citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to 
transmit these historical ethical values from our distinguished 
past to the generations of the future; 
Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these 
ethical values and principles throughout the world; 
Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the 
Lubavitch movement, is universally respected and revered and his 
eighty-sixth year will be seen as the year of continued "turn and 
return", the year in which we continue to turn to an education 
which will return the world to the moral and ethical values 
contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and 
Whereas this is reflected in the "international scroll of honor" 
which has been signed by the President of the United States and 
other heads of state: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That March 29, 1988, the 
birthday of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader and head 
of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as "Education 
Day, U.S.A.". The President is requested to issue a proclamation 
calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day 
with appropriate ceremonies and activities. We also call on heads of 
state of the world to join our President in this tribute by signing the 
international scroll of honor which will be presented in their respec-
tive countries this year of completing "celebration 85".

To designate March 25, 1988, as "Greek Independence Day: A National Day of 
[S.J. Res. 218] 
Celebration of Greek and American Democracy". 
Whereas the ancient Greeks developed the concept of democracy, in 
which the supreme power to govern was vested in the people; 
Whereas the Founding Fathers of the United States of America 
drew heavily upon the political and philosophical experience of 
ancient Greece in forming our representative democracy; 
Whereas March 25, 1988, marks the one hundred and sixty-seventh 
anniversary of the beginning of the revolution which freed the 
Greek people from the Ottoman Empire; 
Whereas these and other ideals have forged a close bond between 
our two nations and their peoples; and 
Whereas it is proper and desirable to celebrate with the Greek 
people, and to reaffirm the democratic principles from which our 
two great nations sprang: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That March 25, 1988, is 
designated as "Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebra-

"National Stuttering Awareness Week". 
[S.J. Res. 12£] 
Whereas stuttering occurs when the natural flow of speech is inter-
rupted, such as with the inabihty to produce certain sounds, or 
when an initial sound, word, or phrase is repeated; 
Whereas over 3,000,000 Americans, both children and adults, suffer 
from this handicap; 
Whereas there is a tendency for stuttering to be an inherited trait 
which can often be traced through family genealogy; 
Whereas men have been found to be four times as likely as women 
to have this disorder, the same male to female ratio as with some 
learning disorders; 
Whereas it should be recognized that although there is no known 
cure for stuttering, there is help available, and that available help 
should be emphasized; and 
Whereas there has been no national recognition of the condition 
known as stuttering, and the public and Federal Government are 
not sufficiently aware of the frustration and anxiety felt by 
persons who stutter and the diminished self-respect and self-
esteem which follows: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That the period commenc-
ing on May 9, 1988, and ending on May 15, 1988, is designated as 
"National Stuttering Awareness Week", and the President is au-
thorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people 
of the United States to observe such period with appropriate cere-
monies and activities.

Mar. 23, 1988 
[S.J. Res. 252] 
Designating June 5-11, 1988, as "National NHS—NeighborWorks Week". 
Whereas Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) and its affiliated 
partnership organizations of neighborhood residents, local govern-
ments, and businesses all comprise the NeighborWorks Network; 
Whereas the NeighborWorks Network is successfully revitalizing 
declining neighborhoods and building and rehabilitating housing 
for lower income Americans in 137 cities throughout the United 
States; 
Whereas America's neighborhoods are made up of families of a 
variety of ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds and such 
diversity is fundamental to a strong nation; 
Whereas deterioration of a neighborhood's physical, economic, and 
social structures harms the neighborhood's homes, businesses, and 
residents and especially harms the neighborhood's elderly and 
poor residents; 
Whereas reversing such deterioration is essential to the strength of 
America's families, neighborhoods, and businesses; 
Whereas 
the 
NeighborWorks 
Network 
has 
generated 
over 
$4,000,000,000 in reinvestment funds for 297 declining neighbor-
hoods and has improved the quality of life of over 3 million 
individuals, the majority of whom are lower income, elderly, or 
minority Americans; 
Whereas more than 3,000 businesses and local governments are 
annually contributing over $16,000,000 to the operations of their 
local NeighborWorks partnerships; and 
Whereas, to accomplish their goals, NHS and both Apartment 
Improvement Programs and Mutual Housing Associations in the 
NeighborWorks partnerships rely on local government and pri-
vate sector resources and on the help of thousands of volunteers 
who contribute millions of hours of service to rebuild America's 
declining neighborhoods: Now, therefore, be it

Mar. 23, 1988 
lS.J. Res. 265] 
To designate March 20, 1988 as "National Agriculture Day". 
Whereas agriculture is the Nation's largest and most basic industry, 
and its associated production, processing, and marketing segments 
together provide more jobs than any other single industry; 
Whereas agriculture serves all Americans by providing food, fiber, 
and other basic necessities of life; 
Whereas the performance of the agricultural economy is vital to 
maintaining the strength of our national economy, the standard of 
living of our citizens, and our presence in world trade markets; 
Whereas it is important that all Americans should understand the 
role that agriculture plays in their lives and well-being, whether 
they live in urban or rural areas; and 
Whereas, since 1973, the first day of spring has been celebrated as 
National Agriculture Day by farmers and ranchers, commodity 
and farm organizations, cooperatives and agribusiness organiza-
tions, nonprofit and community organizations, and Federal, State, 
and local governments: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That March 20, 1988, is 
hereby proclaimed "National Agriculture Day", and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation cuiling upon the

Joint Resolution 
Mar. 8, 1988 
[S.J. Res. 251] 
Designating March 4, 1988, as "Department of Commerce Day". 
Whereas the ability of the United States to provide for the economic 
security of the American people depends primarily upon the 
vitality of the private sector and the competitive free enterprise 
system; 
Whereas the ability of the private sector to generate jobs and a 
constantly improving standard of living depends heavily on the 
policies which the Federal Government pursues and the services it 
provides; 
Whereas the Congress of the United States, recognizing the impor-
tance of these policies and services, on March 4, 1913, reestab-
lished as the Department of Commerce the executive agency 
created by the Act of February 14, 1903, and directed it to "foster, 
promote, and develop the foreign and domestic commerce" of the 
United States; 
Whereas the Department of Commerce has been charged with many 
important responsibilities, including the effective administration 
of the trade laws, providing social and economic statistics for 
business and government planners, promoting the protection of 
intellectual property at home and abroad, advancing the Nation's 
science and technology and facilitating their use for public bene-
fit, working to improve our understanding of the Earth's physical 
environment and ocean resources, helping the private sector take 
advantage of commercial opportunities in space, assisting in the 
growth of minority business, promoting domestic economic devel-
opment, assessing policies and conducting research on tele-
communications, and encouraging foreign travel to the United 
States; and 
Whereas the officers and employees of the Department of Com-
merce, by their dedication, diligence, loyalty, and integrity, reflect 
the finest traditions of public service and, along with the impor-
tant work they perform deserve public recognition as the Depart-
ment of Commerce celebrates its seventy-fifth birthday: Now, 
therefore, be it
