June 19, 1986 
To designate the week beginning June 15,1986, as "National Safety in the Workplace

Whereas the National Safety Council statistics indicate that work-

in all industries;

ing attention to the seriousness and magnitude of this problem 
through appropriate activities; and

Whereas agriculture comprises the Nation's largest single industry;

To designate the week of May 25, 1986, through May 31, 1986, as "Critical Care

Week". 
Whereas the public is not sufficiently aware of the special medical 
needs of the critically ill; 
Whereas patients such as trauma and burn victims, AIDS victims,

Joint Resolution 
To designate the week beginning on June 1, 1986, as "National Neighborhood

[H.J. Res. 492] 
Whereas America's neighborhoods contain the ethnic, social, and 
economic relationships which are fundamental to a strong and 
diverse nation; 
Whereas, when the physical, economic, and social structures of a 
neighborhood deteriorate, great harm is caused to the homes, 
businesses, and residents of the neighborhood, particularly for the 
elderly and for the poor; 
Whereas the reversal of such deterioration is essential to the 
strength of America's families, neighborhoods, and businesses; 
Whereas, throughout the United States, Neighborhood Housing 
Services programs, which are partnerships of local residents, 
business leaders, and government officials, are working to revital-
ize more than 200 neighborhoods; 
Whereas Neighborhood Housing Services programs have generated 
more than three billion dollars in reinvestment funds to revitalize 
America's neighborhoods; and 
Whereas, to accomplish their aims, such programs utilize primarily 
local and private resources and the assistance of hundreds of 
volunteers who contribute countless hours of volunteer work: 
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 
on June 1, 1986, is hereby designated as "National Neighborhood 
Housing Services Week", and the President is authorized and re-

tions, appropriate Federal agencies, and the people of the United

To designate the week beginning June 8, 1986, as "National Children's Accident

Prevention Week". 
Whereas the children of the United States are the most precious 
resource of the United States; 
Whereas approximately 25 per centum of all children in the United 
States under the age of fourteen suffer accidental injuries each 
year; 
Whereas accidental injury is the leading cause of death among 
children in the United States, resulting in more than ten thou-
sand such deaths each year; 
Whereas the incidence of such deaths can be greatly reduced by 
taking precautions to prevent such accidental injuries and seeking 
expert pediatric emergency care when such accidental injuries do 
occur; 
Whereas the incidence of accidental injuries among children is 
greatest during the summer months of each year, when children 
are usually not in school and are outdoors much of the time; and 
Whereas the adults of the United States should become aware of the 
significant incidence of accidental injuries to children, the in-
creased incidence of such accidental injuries during the summer 
months, and the need to take precautions to prevent such acciden-
tal injuries: 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 
June 8, 1986, is designated "National Children's Accident Preven-
tion Week", and the President of the United States is authorized

Designating the week of May 18,1986, through May 24,1986, as "National Food Bank

Whereas substantial evidence indicates that poverty in the United 
States has risen in recent years, with the Census Bureau report-
ing that 35,500,000 people currently live below the poverty line, 
the greatest such number in over 15 years; 
Whereas the correlation between poverty and hunger has been 
demonstrated in national, State, and local studies; 
Whereas an estimated 20,000,000 people in the United States 
periodically go hungry; 
Whereas non-profit food banks all over the United States are 
witnessing an increasing demand for food from families, children, 
the elderly, unemployed workers, and the homeless; 
Whereas, despite such increasing demand, food banks are meeting 
the challenge of collecting surplus food which would otherwise be 
wasted and distributing it to food kitchens, day care centers, 
homes for the elderly, halfway houses, church-operated meal 
programs, and needy families; 
Whereas Second Harvest has become the nationally recognized 
leader and pioneer of food banking, has forged a successful work-
ing relationship with the Nation's food and transportation indus-
tries, and has obtained voluntary private sector response to the 
needs of the Nation's hungry; 
Whereas Second Harvest succeeded in working with over 250 na-
tional companies to distribute over 100,000,000 pounds of food 
products through its member food banks during 1985; 
Whereas from May 18, 1986, through May 22, 1986, Second Harvest 
is holding its national conference to bring together its member 
food banks, affiliated food banks, and food industry representa-
tives to focus attention on the growing food needs of people in the 
United States; and 
Whereas Second Harvest, its members, and other food banks all over 
the United States deserve commendation for their work with 
private sector and non-profit organizations to help feed the Na-
tion's hungry: Now, therefore, be it
