Whereas in 1985, the United States Congress (in Public Law 99-145) 
directed the Department of Defense to issue a medal to former 
prisoners of war in recognition and commemoration of their great 
sacrifices in service to our Nation; and 
Whereas these great sacrifices of former prisoners of war and their 
families deserve national recognition: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That April 9, 1990, is 
designated as "National Former Prisoners of War Recognition Day" 
in honor of the members of the Armed Forces of the United States 
who have been held as prisoners of war, and the President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to commemorate such day with appro-
priate ceremonies and activities. 
Approved April 5, 1990.
