Whereas more than 1.5 million individuals in the United States are 
ostomates, including persons of every age, race, occupation, and 
ethnic background;

ostomates in North America overcome the trauma associated with 
this type of surgery and return to normal living and community 
responsibility through mutual aid, moral support, education about 
proper ostomy care, exchange of ideas, assistance in improving 
ostomy equipment and supplies, support of research, and public 
information; and 
Whereas the United Ostomy Association, a nonprofit agency of 
nearly 650 chapters, is dedicated to improving the quality of life of 
all children, young adults, and senior adults whose lifestyle has 
been changed because of this radical surgical procedure: 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 August 
1984 is designated as "Ostomy Awareness Month". The President is 
requested to issue a proclamation calling upon all Federal and State
