Feb. 16, 1983

[H.J. Res. 60]

 Whereas February 16, 1983, marks the sixty-fifth anniversary of the declaration of independence of Lithuania; Whereas on February 16, 1918, the Council of Lithuania, the sole representative of the Lithuanian people, in conformity with the recognized right to national self-determination, proclaimed the restitution of the independent and democratic state of Lithuania and declared rupture of all ties which formally bound Lithuania to other nations; Whereas a free Lithuania existed until the Soviet takeover in 1940; Whereas the United States opposes tyranny and injustice in all forms and supports the cause of a free Lithuania; Whereas all Americans of Lithuanian descent protest the Soviet presence in the land of their ancestors; and Whereas the oppressed people currently living in Lithuania should keep the flame of freedom forever burning in their hearts: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the President shall

Lithuanian Independence Day.

 issue a proclamation designating February 16, 1983, as “Lithuanian Independence Day” and calling on the people of the United States to celebrate such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Joint Resolution Providing that the week containing March 8, 1983, shall be designated as “Women’s History Week”.

Mar. 8, 1983

[S.J. Res. 37]

 Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic background helped found the Nation in countless recorded and unrecorded ways as servants, slaves, nurses, nuns, homemakers, industrial workers, teachers, reformers, soldiers, pioneers; and in professions and occupations representative of all walks of life; Whereas American women have played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of our Nation’s life by constituting a significant portion of the labor force working in and outside of the home; Whereas American women have played a unique role throughout our history by providing the majority of the Nation’s volunteer labor force and have been particularly important in the establishment of early charitable philanthropic and cultural institutions in the country; Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic background served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement, not only to secure their own right of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor union movement, and the modem civil rights movement; and Whereas despite these contributions, the role of American women in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued in the body of American history: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the week containing

Women’s History Week.

 March 8, 1983, is designated as “Women’s History Week”, and the President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Joint Resolution To provide for the designation of May 1983 as “National Arthritis Month”.

Apr. 5, 1983

[S.J. Res. 82]

 Whereas arthritis is one of our Nation’s leading health problems, striking as many as thirty-five million Americans; Whereas arthritis is America’s number one crippling disease, disabling over seven million persons including infants, children, and working-age adults as well as the elderly; Whereas the incidence of arthritis is increasing by one million new victims each year; Whereas there are more than one hundred distinct disease entities classified as rheumatic, each with a distinct pathogenesis, symptoms, and course of treatment; Whereas the economic cost of arthritis is a major burden on the Nation, now estimated to be as much as $25,000,000,000 each year; Whereas it is estimated that, by the year 2000, arthritis will cost the Nation as much as $96,800,000,000 in health care expenditures; Whereas research on rheumatic diseases is critically underfunded and, as a result, scientists are unable to investigate adequately the myriad causes of and potential cures for, such diseases; Whereas greater interagency cooperation at all levels of government can greatly improve treatment and services for persons with arthritis; Whereas scientific understanding of the causes of several forms of arthritis has increased dramatically over the past decade, notwithstanding limited research funding; Whereas State vocational rehabilitation, aging, and other agencies are not sufficiently staffed or trained to aid and inform persons with arthritis; Whereas employers need to be made aware of the opportunities for retaining employees with arthritis through programs of medical assistance and rehabilitation; Whereas the many research, education, information, and patient services of the Arthritis Foundation are not sufficiently well known to the American public; Whereas the people of the United States, and educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical and health professionals, businesses, governments, and other organizations should be encouraged to provide the necessary attention and resources to combat arthritis in its many forms, and to discover causes and cures, prevent disease and disability, and improve treatment; and Whereas a healthy nation is a strong nation, and the attention of all Americans should be directed to the need to reduce the ravaging impact of this chronic disabling disease upon our society: Now, therefore, be it 97 STAT. 62 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the President shall

Apr. 15, 1983

[S.J. Res. 52]

 Whereas the cost of excessive stress and mental disorders to our Nation is estimated to be $65,000,000,000 annually; Whereas in one out of every three American families there is a member with some type of mental illness and 20 per centum of our population is in need of some form of mental health treatment at any one time; Whereas more than 25 per centum of all elderly persons mistakenly judged to be senile have a treatable mental disorder, and 80 per centum of all diseases are psychosomatic or stress related and account for a large majority of all hospital admissions; Whereas persons with mental illness have been shown to be excessive users of unnecessary medical and surgical services, and mental health treatment provides an effective cost-containment tool by reducing these more costly and unnecessary services; Whereas mental illness is a treatable disability, with nearly two-thirds of all mentally ill patients showing significant signs of improvement or recovery after treatment; and Whereas it is fitting that the support and treatment provided the mentally disabled by family members, volunteers, and qualified health professionals be recognized, encouraged, and honored: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the President is

National Mental Health Week.

June 13, 1983

[H.J. Res. 201]

 Whereas the people of the Baltic Republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have cherished the principles of religious and political freedom and independence; and Whereas the Baltic Republics have existed as independent, sovereign nations belonging to and fully recognized by the League of Nations; and Whereas the people of the Baltic Republics have individual and separate cultures, national traditions, and languages distinctively foreign to those of Russia; and Whereas the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) in 1940 did illegally seize and occupy the Baltic Republics and by force incorporate them against their national will and contrary to their desire for independence and sovereignty into the U.S.S.R.; and Whereas the U.S.S.R. since 1940 has systematically removed native Baltic peoples from their homelands by deporting them to Siberia and caused great masses of Russians to relocate in the Republics, thus threatening the Baltic cultures with extinction; and Whereas the U.S.S.R. has imposed upon the captive people of the Baltic Republics an oppressive political system which has destroyed every vestige of democracy, civil liberties, and religious freedom; and Whereas the people of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia find themselves today subjugated by the U.S.S.R., locked into a union they deplore, denied basic human rights, and persecuted for daring to protest; and Whereas the United States stands as a champion of liberty, dedicated to the principles of national self-determination, human rights, and religious freedom, and opposed to oppression and imperialism; and Whereas the United States, as a member of the United Nations, has repeatedly voted with a majority of that international body to uphold the right of other countries of the world, including those in Africa and Asia, to determine their fates and be free of foreign domination; and Whereas the U.S.S.R. has steadfastly refused to return to the people of the Baltic States the right to exist as independent republics separate and apart from the U.S.S.R. or permit a return of personal, political, and religious freedoms: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Baltic Freedom Day.
That the Congress of the United States recognizes the continuing desire and the right of the people of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia for freedom and independence from the domination of the U.S.S.R. and deplores the refusal of the U.S.S.R. to recognize the sovereignty of the Baltic Republics and to yield to their rightful demands for independence from foreign domination and oppression and that the fourteenth day of June 97 STAT. 2091983, the anniversary of the mass deportation of Baltic peoples from their homelands in 1941, be designated “Baltic Freedom Day” as a symbol of the solidarity of the American people with the aspirations of the enslaved Baltic people and that the President of the United States be authorized and requested to issue a proclamation for the observance of Baltic Freedom Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

 Whereas there are more than one hundred different kinds of liver disease identified in children; Whereas certain children’s liver diseases result in cirrhosis causing the deaths of infants and young children; Whereas there are a million cases of hepatitis in the United States annually, half of which occur in children; Whereas there have been tremendous strides in the liver transplant program as a result of new therapeutic drugs and improved surgical techniques; Whereas newborn screening programs, with early recognition and intervention, are now preventing the onset of insidious liver ailments in infants and young children; Whereas it is essential that childhood liver disorders be eradicated because the future of the United States lies in the hands of our children; Whereas the key to eradicating all childhood liver disorders is through extensive pediatric liver research; and Whereas the week beginning June 19, 1983, marks the establishment of the National Children’s Liver Disease Awareness Program, a combined effort to bring to the attention of the American people the overwhelming need for pediatric liver disease research, newborn screening programs, and the dismissal of the tremendous financial burden placed on families whose children require long term care and/or liver transplantation: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

[H.J. Res. 258]

 Whereas among those Americans who have answered their country’s call to service in defense of its freedoms, there are thousands who, as a result of service in our Nation’s military forces, have suffered the catastrophic disability of paralysis; Whereas despite the extreme severity of this disability, these veterans have succeeded in leading useful and productive lives, in part through Federal programs for their readjustment but, more significantly, by drawing upon a special brand of heroism; Whereas our country now enjoys the blessing of peace, and it is appropriate that all Americans recognize the special debt owed to those who have been paralyzed in the defense of our freedoms during the wars of this century; and Whereas the sacrifices and contributions that these veterans have made and the service rendered by the many veterans who later suffered paralysis from nonservice related causes are deserving of national recognition: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That August 3, 1983, is

National Paralyzed Veterans Recognition Day.

designated as “National Paralyzed Veterans Recognition Day”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States and interested groups and organizations to set aside this day to honor the sacrifices and service of paralyzed veterans in an appropriate manner.

Joint Resolution To designate the month of August 1983 as “National Child Support Enforcement Month”.

Aug. 5, 1983

[S.J. Res. 56]

 Whereas significant progress has been made toward improving laws and regulations dealing with child support enforcement by the States; Whereas the provisions of part D of title IV of the Social Security Act have provided a needed response in alleviating problems that exist within and among States as to legal rights and financial needs of their citizens; Whereas the child support program’s ultimate goal is to reduce financial deprivation among America’s children by ensuring that the responsibility of support rests with the responsible parent, thereby diminishing the need for welfare dependency by women and children; Whereas the dedicated service of family support enforcement personnel, the judiciary and the legal community has contributed to increased child support collections, paternity establishments and the location of absent parents; Whereas the growth and success of child support programs have resulted from and continue to rely on increased cooperation of Federal, State and local agencies: 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

National Child Support Enforcement Month.

1983 is designated “National Child Support Enforcement Month” and that the President of the United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon all government agencies and the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities.

 Whereas September 3, 1983, commemorates a day of unique significance in the history of our Nation; Whereas on September 3, 1783, the American Peace Commissioners—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay—signed a Definitive Treaty of Peace with David Hartley, the representative of George the Third, the King of Great Britain, in the city of Paris; Whereas on the same day another treaty between Great Britain and America’s ally France and cobelligerent Spain was signed at Versailles, and witnessed by the American Peace Commissioners; Whereas the signing of the Definitive Treaty with Great Britain signified to the world that these former thirteen British colonies with the invaluable assistance of the Government and citizens of France had emerged from the great war of the American Revolution as an independent Nation, the United States of America, confirmed in its sovereignty over a vast extent of territory; Whereas the ratification of the Definitive Treaty of Peace by the Congress of the Confederation on January 14, 1784, in Annapolis, Maryland, inaugurated an era of peace for the new Nation which made possible the experimentation in self-government which led to the adoption of the Constitution of the United States of America on September 17, 1787; Whereas since that historic day two hundred years ago, the United States of America has survived as a free Nation, ever mindful of the blessings that liberty and peace have brought: Now, therefore, be it 97 STAT. 410 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

 Whereas housing is helping to lead the Nation out of recession creating jobs for the unemployed, tax revenue for Government and raising economic confidence throughout America; Whereas the construction of between one million four hundred thousand and one million six hundred thousand housing starts in 1983—a dramatic increase from 1982—will create millions of worker-years of employment in construction and construction- related industries, billions in wages and billions in tax revenue for local, State and Federal governments; Whereas an upturn in home sales and housing production has triggered every economic recovery since World War II; Whereas to sustain this housing-led recovery, it is essential that interest rates continue to fall to increase housing affordability; Whereas homeownership and decent housing instill pride and contribute to the stability and vitality of communities throughout America; Whereas it is appropriate to reaffirm our Nation’s historic commitment to housing and homeownership as a national priority and to recognize and sustain the role that housing plays in the economic recovery: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

cotton, section 103 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof a new subsection as follows: “(h)(1) For purposes of this subsection, extra long staple cotton means cotton which is produced from pure strain varieties of the Barbadense species or any hybrid thereof, or other similar types of extra long staple cotton, designated by the Secretary, having characteristics needed for various end uses for which American upland cotton is not suitable and grown in irrigated cotton-growing regions of the United States designated by the Secretary or other areas designated by the Secretary as suitable for the production of such varieties or types and which is ginned on a roller-type gin or, if authorized by the Secretary, ginned on another type gin for experimental purposes.

Loans.

 “(2) The Secretary shall, upon presentation of warehouse receipts reflecting accrued storage charges of not more than sixty days, make available to producers nonrecourse loans for a term of ten months from the first day of the month in which the loan is made at a level which is not less than 50 per centum in excess of the loan level established for each crop of Strict Low Middling one and one-sixteenth inch upland cotton (micronaire 3.5 through 4.9) at average location in the United States. If authorized by the Secretary, nonrecourse loans provided for in this subsection may, upon request of the producer during the tenth month of the loan period for the cotton, be made available for an additional term of eight months. The loan level for any crop of extra long staple cotton shall be determined and announced by the Secretary not later than November 1 of the calendar year preceding the marketing year for which such loan is to be effective and such level shall not thereafter be changed.

Payments.

 “(3)(A) In addition, payments shall be made for each crop of extra long staple cotton to producers on each farm at a rate equal to the amount by which the higher of— “(i) the average market price received by farmers for extra long staple cotton during the first eight months of the marketing year for such crop, as determined by the Secretary, or 97 STAT. 495 “(ii) the loan level determined under paragraph (2) of this subsection for such crop, is less than the established price per pound times, in each case, the farm program acreage for extra long staple cotton (determined in accordance with paragraph (6) or paragraph (8)(A) of this subsection, but in no event on a greater acreage than the acreage actually planted to extra long staple cotton for harvest), multiplied by the farm program payment yield for extra long staple cotton (determined in accordance with paragraph (7) of this subsection). “(B) The established price for each crop of extra long staple cotton shall be 120 per centum of the loan level determined for such crop under paragraph (2) of this subsection. “(C) If the Secretary establishes an acreage limitation program for

Acreage limitation program.

a crop of extra long staple cotton in accordance with paragraph (8)(A) of this subsection and determines that deficiency payments will likely be made for such crop of extra long staple cotton under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, the Secretary may make available advance deficiency payments for such crop to producers who agree to participate in the acreage limitation program. Such advance payments shall be made available to producers as soon as practicable after the producer files a notice of intention to participate in such acreage limitation program and in such amount as the Secretary determines appropriate to encourage adequate participation in such program, except that such amount shall not exceed an amount determined by multiplying (i) the estimated farm program acreage for the crop, by (ii) the farm program payment yield for the crop, by (iii) 50 per centum of the projected payment rate, as determined by the Secretary. In any case in which the deficiency payment payable to a producer for a crop, as finally determined by the Secretary under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, is less than the amount paid to the producer as an advance deficiency payment under this paragraph, the producer shall refund an amount equal to the difference between the amount advanced and the amount finally determined by the Secretary to be payable to the producer. If the Secretary determines that no deficiency payments are due producers on a crop, the producer who received advanced payments on such crop shall refund such payments. If a producer fails to comply with the requirements under the acreage limitation program after obtaining an advance deficiency payment under this paragraph, the producer shall immediately repay the amount of the advance, plus interest thereon in such amount as the Secretary shall prescribe. “(4) The Secretary shall establish for each crop of extra long

National program acreage.

staple cotton a national program acreage. Such national program acreage shall be announced by the Secretary not later than November 1 of the calendar year preceding the year for which such acreage is established. The Secretary may revise the national program acreage first announced for any crop year for the purpose of determining the allocation factor under paragraph (5) of this subsection if the Secretary determines it necessary based upon the latest information, and the Secretary shall announce such revised national program acreage as soon as it has been made. The national program acreage shall be the number of harvested acres the Secretary determines (on the basis of the estimated weighted national average of the farm program payment yields for the crop for which the determination is made) will produce the quantity (less imports) of extra long staple cotton that the Secretary estimates will be utilized domestically and for export during the marketing year for such 97 STAT. 496crop. The national program acreage shall be subject to such adjustment as the Secretary determines necessary, taking into consideration the estimated carryover supply and the stocks not accounted for by official domestic consumption and export data, so as to provide for an adequate but not excessive total supply of extra long staple cotton for the marketing year for the crop for which such national program acreage is established. In no event shall the national program acreage be less than sixty thousand acres. “(5) The Secretary shall determine a program allocation factor for each crop of extra long staple cotton. The allocation factor (not to exceed 100 per centum) shall be determined by dividing the national program acreage for the crop by the number of acres that the Secretary estimates will be harvested for such crop.

Farm program acreage.

 “(6) The individual farm program acreage for each crop of extra long staple cotton shall be determined by multiplying the allocation factor by the acreage of extra long staple cotton planted for harvest on each farm for which individual farm program acreages are required to be determined. The farm program acreage shall not be further reduced by application of the allocation factor if the producers reduce the acreage of extra long staple cotton planted for harvest on the farm from the acreage base established for the farm under paragraph (8)(A) of this subsection by at least the percentage recommended by the Secretary in the announcement of the national program acreage. The Secretary shall provide fair and equitable treatment for producers on farms on which the acreage of extra long staple cotton planted for harvest is less than the acreage base established for the farm under paragraph (8)(A) of this subsection, but for which the reduction is insufficient to exempt the farm from the application of the allocation factor. In establishing the allocation factor for extra long staple cotton, the Secretary may make such adjustment as the Secretary deems necessary to take into account the extent of exemption of farms under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

Farm program payment yield.

 “(7) The farm program payment yield for each crop of extra long staple cotton shall be determined on the basis of the actual yields per harvested acre on the farm for the preceding three years, except that the actual yields shall be adjusted by the Secretary for abnormal yields in any year caused by drought, flood, or other natural disaster, or other condition beyond the control of the producers. In case farm yield data for one or more years are unavailable or there was no production, the Secretary shall provide for appraisals to be made on the basis of actual yields and program payment yields for similar farms in the area for which data are available. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph in the determination of yields, the Secretary shall take into account the actual yields proved by the producer, and neither such yields nor the farm program payment yield established on the basis of such yields shall be reduced under other provisions of this paragraph. If the Secretary determines it necessary, the Secretary may establish national, State, or county program payment yields on the basis of historical yields, as adjusted by the Secretary to correct for abnormal factors affecting such yields in the historical period, or, if such data are not available, on the Secretary’s estimate of actual yields for the crop year involved. If national, State, or county program payment yields are established, the farm program payment yields shall balance to the national, State, or county program payment yields. 97 STAT. 497 “(8)(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, the

Acreage limitation.

Secretary may establish a limitation on the acreage planted to extra long staple cotton if the Secretary determines that the total supply of extra long staple cotton, in the absence of such limitation, will be excessive taking into account the need for an adequate carryover to maintain reasonable and stable prices and to meet a national emergency. Such limitation shall be achieved by applying a uniform percentage reduction to the acreage base for each extra long staple cotton-producing farm. Producers who knowingly produce extra long staple cotton in excess of the permitted acreage for the farm shall be ineligible for extra long staple cotton loans and payments with respect to that farm. The acreage base for any farm for the purpose of determining any reduction required to be made for any year as a result of a limitation under this subparagraph shall be the average acreage planted on the farm to extra long staple cotton for harvest in the three crop years immediately preceding the year prior to the year for which the determination is made. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, acreage planted to extra long staple cotton for harvest shall include any acreage which the producers were prevented from planting to extra long staple cotton or other nonconserving crops in lieu of extra long staple cotton because of drought, flood, or other natural disaster or other condition beyond the control of the producers. The Secretary may make adjustments to reflect established crop-rotation practices and to reflect such other factors as the Secretary determines should be considered in determining a fair and equitable base. There is hereby established for the 1984,

Acreage base reserve.

1985, and 1986 crops an acreage base reserve equal to 5 per centum of the total of the farm acreage bases established for the crop under the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph. Such reserve shall be in addition to the total of the farm acreage bases and shall be used by the county committees, in accordance with regulations of the Secretary, for making adjustments of farm acreage bases to correct inequities and prevent hardship, and for establishing bases for farms on which no extra long staple cotton was planted during the preceding four years. A number of acres on the farm determined by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying the number of acres required to be withdrawn from the production of extra long staple cotton times the number of acres actually planted to such commodity, by (ii) the number of acres authorized to be planted to such commodity under the limitation established by the Secretary, shall be devoted to conservation uses, in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary, which will assure protection of such acreage from weeds and wind and water erosion. The number of acres so determined is hereafter in this subsection referred to as reduced acreage’. The Secretary may permit, subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe, all or any part of the reduced acreage to be devoted to sweet sorghum, hay and grazing, or the production of guar, sesame, safflower, sunflower, castor beans, mustard seed, crambe, plantago ovato, flaxseed, triticale, rye, or other commodity, if the Secretary determines that such production is needed to provide an adequate supply of such commodities, is not likely to increase the cost of the price support program, and will not affect farm income adversely. If an acreage limitation program is announced under this paragraph for a crop of extra long staple cotton, paragraphs (4), (5), and (6) of this subsection shall not be applicable to such crop, including any prior announcement which may have been made under such paragraphs with respect to such 97 STAT. 498crop. The individual farm program acreage shall be the actual acreage planted on the farm to extra long staple cotton for harvest within the permitted extra long staple cotton acreage for the farm as established under this paragraph.

Land diversion payments.

 “(B) The Secretary may make land diversion payments to producers of extra long staple cotton, whether or not an acreage limitation program for extra long staple cotton is in effect, if the Secretary determines that such land diversion payments are necessary to assist in adjusting the total national acreage of extra long staple cotton to desirable goals. Such land diversion payments shall be made to producers who, to the extent prescribed by the Secretary, devote to approved conservation uses an acreage of cropland on the farm in accordance with land diversion contracts entered into by the

Contract bids.

Secretary with such producers. The amounts payable to producers under land diversion contracts may be determined through the submission of bids for such contracts by producers in such manner as the Secretary may prescribe or through such other means as the Secretary determines appropriate. In determining the acceptability of contract offers, the Secretary shall take into consideration the extent of the diversion to be undertaken by the producers and the

Acreage limitation.

productivity of the acreage diverted. The Secretary shall limit the total acreage to be diverted under agreements in any county or local community so as not to affect adversely the economy of the county or local community. “(C) The reduced acreage and the diverted acreage may be devoted to wildlife food plots or wildlife habitat in conformity with standards established by the Secretary in consultation with wildlife agencies. The Secretary may pay an appropriate share of the cost of practices designed to carry out the purpose of the foregoing sentence. The Secretary may provide for an additional payment on such acreage in an amount determined by the Secretary to be appropriate in relation to the benefit to the general public if the producer agrees to permit, without other compensation, access to all or such portion of the farm, as the Secretary may prescribe, by the general public, for hunting, trapping, fishing, and hiking, subject to applicable State and Federal regulations.

Program participation.

 “(9) An operator of a farm desiring to participate in the program conducted under paragraph (8) of this subsection shall execute an agreement with the Secretary providing for such participation not later than such date as the Secretary may prescribe. The Secretary may, by mutual agreement with the producers on the farm, terminate or modify any such agreement if the Secretary determines such action necessary because of an emergency created by drought or other disaster or to prevent or alleviate a shortage in the supply of agricultural commodities. “(10) The Secretary shall provide for the sharing of payments made under this subsection for any farm among the producers on the farm on a fair and equitable basis. “(11) The Secretary shall provide adequate safeguards to protect the interests of tenants and sharecroppers. “(12) If the failure of a producer to comply fully with the terms and conditions of the program formulated under this subsection precludes the making of loans and payments, the Secretary may, nevertheless, make such loans and payments in such amounts as the Secretary determines to be equitable in relation to the seriousness of

Program deadlines or other requirements.

The Department of Defense should set forth funding and production schedules consistent with the earliest possible Initial Operational Capability (IOC), at or prior to 1992, in its submission to Congress to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1985.</content></section> <section><heading class="smallCaps centered">limitation on procurement of binary chemical weapons</heading> <num value="1233"><inline class="smallCaps">Sec.</inline> 1233. </num><subsection class="inline"><num value="a">(a) </num><content>Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no <sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8"><ref href="/us/usc/t50/s1519a">50 USC 1519a</ref>.</p></sidenote>funds may be obligated or expended after the date of the enactment of this Act for the production of binary chemical weapons unless the President certifies to the Congress that for each 155-millimeter binary artillery shell or aircraft-delivered binary aerial bomb produced a serviceable unitary artillery shell from the existing arsenal shall be rendered permanently useless for military purposes.</content></subsection> <subsection class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"><num value="b">(b)</num><paragraph class="inline"><num value="1">(1) </num><content>Funds appropriated pursuant to the authorization of appropriations for the Army in section 101 of this Act may be used for the <sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8"><i>Ante,</i> p. 618.</p></sidenote>establishment of a production base for binary chemical munitions and for the procurement of components for 155-millimeter binary chemical artillery projectiles, but such funds may not be used for the actual production of binary chemical munitions before October 1, 1985.</content></paragraph> <paragraph class="indent1 fontsize10"> <num value="2">(2) </num> <content>Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), before the <sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8">Written certifications to Congress.</p></sidenote>production of binary chemical munitions may begin after September 30, 1985, the President must certify to Congress in writing that, in light of circumstances prevailing at the time the certification is made, the production of such munitions is essential to the national interest.</content> </paragraph> <paragraph class="indent1 fontsize10"> <num value="3">(3) </num> <content>For purposes of this subsection, “production of binary chemical <sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8">“Production of binary chemical munitions.”</p></sidenote>munitions” means the final assembly of weapon components and the filling or loading of components with binary chemicals.</content></paragraph> </subsection></section> <section><heading class="smallCaps centered">prohibition against using funds appropriated for the advanced technology bomber program for any other purpose</heading> <num value="1234"><inline class="smallCaps">Sec.</inline> 1234. </num><content>None of the funds appropriated pursuant to an authorization of appropriations in this Act to carry out the Advanced Technology Bomber program may be used for any other purpose.</content></section> <section><heading class="smallCaps centered">establishing criteria governing the test of antisatellite warheads</heading> <num value="1235"><inline class="smallCaps">Sec.</inline> 1235. </num><chapeau>Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the <sidenote><p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8">Funding restriction.</p> <p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize8"><ref href="/us/usc/t10/s139">10 USC 139 note</ref>.</p></sidenote>funds appropriated pursuant to an authorization contained in this or any other Act may be obligated or expended to test any explosive or inert antisatellite warheads against objects in space unless the President determines and certifies to the Congress—</chapeau> <paragraph class="indent1 fontsize10"> <num value="1">(1) </num> <content>that the United States is endeavoring, in good faith, to negotiate with the Soviet Union a mutual and verifiable ban on antisatellite weapons;

Subject to the availability of appropriations to carry out this section and consistent with the requirement of subsection (D, the Secretary may approve an application for a grant if an institution, in its application, provides adequate assurances that it will comply with the requirements of this section.

Sept. 28, 1983

[H.J. Res. 353]

 Whereas the United States joins with the world community in expressing its outrage over the actions of the Soviet Government on August 31, 1983, which caused the destruction of Korean Air Lines flight 7 with the loss of two hundred and sixty-nine innocent lives; Whereas on August 31, 1983, Korean Air Lines flight 7 inadvertently entered Soviet airspace; Whereas Soviet authorities tracked Korean Air Lines flight 7 for more than two hours, but did not adhere to all the internationally recognized procedures necessary to warn the aircraft that it was off course and to protect its passengers; Whereas a Soviet Air Force fighter fired air-to-air missiles at Korean Air Lines flight 7 and destroyed the unarmed, clearly marked civilian airliner with two hundred and sixty-nine innocent men, women, and children from fourteen nations aboard, including sixty-one of our fellow citizens; Whereas among the victims was a distinguished Member of Congress, the Honorable Larry P. McDonald; Whereas the highest levels of the Soviet Government have lied in an attempt to justify this unconscionable act and have continued to deny access to the area where the airplane went down; Whereas the Soviet Government has publicly proclaimed its intention to repeat its murderous act if another airliner wanders inadvertently into Soviet airspace; and Whereas this cold-blooded barbarous attack on a commercial airliner straying off course is one of the most infamous and reprehensible acts in history: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the United States hereby—

Soviet destruction of Korean airliner, condemnation.

 (1) condemns the Soviet crime of destroying Korean Air Lines flight 7 and murdering the two hundred and sixty-nine innocent people onboard; (2) calls for a full and frank explanation from the Soviet Union for this brutal massacre; (3) extends its deepest sympathies to the families who lost loved ones, and supports their rights to obtain reparations from the Soviet Union; (4) calls on the Soviet Union to assist international efforts to recover the remains of the victims; (5) calls for an international investigation by the International Civil Aviation Organization into this heinous incident; (6) declares its intention to work with the international community in demanding that the Soviet Union modify its air defense procedures and practices to assure the safe passage of commercial airliners; 97 STAT. 716 (7) finds that this tragic incident, and the Soviet Government’s refusal to acknowledge responsibility for its wanton conduct, will make it more difficult for the United States and other nations to accept the Soviet Union as a responsible member of the international community; and (8) urges our allies and other nations to cooperate with the United States in continuing to demand that the Soviet Government unequivocally apologize for its actions, fully compensate the families of the innocent victims, and agree to abide by internationally recognized and established procedures which are purposefully designed to prevent the occurrence of such tragedies.

That November 1983 is

[S.J. Res. 119]

 Whereas traffic accidents result in more violent deaths in the United States than any other cause, over forty-four thousand in 1982; Whereas traffic accidents cause thousands of serious injuries in the United States each year; Whereas more than 65 per centum of drivers killed in single vehicle collisions and over 50 per centum of all drivers fatally injured have blood alcohol concentrations above the legal limit; Whereas the Surgeon General has reported that life expectancy has risen for every age group over the past seventy-five years except for those fifteen to twenty-four years old, whose death rate, the leading cause of which is drunk driving, is higher now than it was twenty years ago; Whereas the total societal cost of drunk driving has been estimated at over $24,000,000,000 per year, which does not include the human suffering that can never be measured; Whereas there are increasing reports of driving after drug use and accidents involving drivers who have used marihuana or other illegal drugs; Whereas driving after the use of therapeutic drugs, either alone or in combination with alcohol, contrary to the advice of physician, pharmacist, or manufacturer, may create a safety hazard on the roads; Whereas more research is needed on the effect of drugs either alone or in combination with alcohol, on driving ability and the incidence of traffic accidents; Whereas an increased public awareness of the gravity of the problem of drugged driving may warn drug users to refrain from driving and may stimulate interest in increasing necessary research on the effect of drugs on driving ability and the incidence of traffic accidents; Whereas the public, particularly through the work of citizens groups, is demanding a solution to the problem of drunk and drugged driving; Whereas the President has appointed a Commission on Drunk Driving to heighten public awareness and stimulate the pursuit of solutions, and this Commission has provided vital recommendations for remedies for the problem of drunk driving in an interim report in December 1982; Whereas many States have appointed task forces to examine existing drunk driving programs and make recommendations for a renewed, comprehensive approach, and in many cases their recommendations are leading to enactment of new laws, along with stricter enforcement; 97 STAT. 726 Whereas the best defense against the drunk or drugged driver is the use of safety belts and greater safety belt usage would increase the number of survivors of traffic accidents; Whereas an increase in the public awareness of the problem of drunk and drugged driving may contribute to a change in society’s attitude toward the drunk or drugged driver and help to sustain current efforts to develop comprehensive solutions at the State and local levels; Whereas the Christmas and New Year holiday period, with more drivers on the roads and an increased number of social functions, is a particularly appropriate time to focus national attention on this critical problem; Whereas designation of the week of December 12, 1982, through December 18, 1982, as National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week stimulated many activities and programs by groups in both the private and public sectors aimed at curbing drunk and drugged driving in the high-risk Christmas and New Year holiday period and thereafter; Whereas the number of traffic fatalities over the three-day New Year holiday in 1982 was the lowest since 1949, with 282 deaths as compared to 338 deaths for the same period in 1981; Whereas the activities and programs during National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week in 1982 heightened the awareness of the American public to the danger of drunk and drugged driving and contributed to the decrease in traffic fatalities: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the week of December

National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week.

11, 1983, through December 17, 1983, is designated as “National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week” and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate activities.

Joint Resolution To authorize and request the President to designate October 16, 1983, as “World Food Day”.

Oct. 3, 1983

[S.J. Res. 81]

 Whereas hunger and chronic malnutrition remain daily facts of life for hundreds of millions of people throughout the world; Whereas the children of the world are those who are suffering the most serious effects of hunger and malnutrition, with millions of children dying each year from hunger-related illness and disease, and many others suffering permanent physical or mental impairment, including blindness, because of vitamin and protein deficiencies; Whereas although progress has been made in reducing the incidence of hunger and malnutrition in the United States, certain groups, notably Native Americans, migrant workers, the elderly, and children, remain vulnerable to malnutrition and related diseases; Whereas the danger posed by malnutrition and related diseases to these groups and to other people is intensified by unemployment and slow rates of economic growth; Whereas national policies concerning food, farmland, and nutrition require continuing evaluation and should consider and strive for the well-being and protection of all residents of the United States and particularly those most at health risk; Whereas there is widespread concern that the use and conservation of land and water resources required for food production throughout the United States ensure care for the national patrimony we bequeath to future generations; Whereas the United States has always supported the principle that the health of a nation depends on a strong agricultural foundation based on private enterprise and the primacy of the independent family farm; Whereas a major global food supply crisis appears likely to occur within the next twenty years unless the level of world food production is significantly increased, and the means for the distribution of food and of the resources required for its production are improved; Whereas the United States, as the world’s largest producer and trader of food, has a key role to play in efforts to assist nations and peoples to improve the ability to feed themselves; Whereas the United States has a long tradition of demonstrating its humanitarian concern for helping the hungry and malnourished; Whereas efforts to resolve the world hunger problem are critical to the security of the United States and the international community; Whereas the Congress of the United States is acutely conscious of the paradox of immense farm surpluses and rising farm foreclosures in America despite the desperate need for food by hundreds of millions of people around the world; 97 STAT. 748 Whereas a key recommendation of the 1980 report of the Presidential Commission on World Hunger was that efforts be undertaken to increase public awareness of the world hunger problem; Whereas the member nations of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations designated October 16 of each year as World Food Day because of the need to alert the public to the increasingly dangerous world food situation; Whereas past observances of World Food Day have been supported by proclamations of the fifty States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and other territories and possessions of the United States, by resolutions of Congress, by Presidential proclamations, by programs of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Government departments and agencies, and by the governments and peoples of many other nations; and Whereas more than three hundred national private and voluntary organizations plan to participate in World Food Day observances this year: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That October 16, 1983, is

World Food Day.

designated “World Food Day”. The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate activities to explore ways in which our Nation can further contribute to the elimination of hunger in the world.

congressional findings Sec. 2. The Congress finds that— (a) there is pending before the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut a civil action entitled “Western Pequot Tribe of Indians against Holdridge Enterprises Incorporated, et al., Civil Action Numbered H76–193 (D. Conn.),” which involves Indian claims to certain public and private lands within the town of Ledyard, Connecticut; (b) the pendency of this lawsuit has placed a cloud on the titles to much of the land in the town of Ledyard, including lands not involved in the lawsuit, which has resulted in severe economic hardships for the residents of the town; (c) the Congress shares with the State of Connecticut and the parties to the lawsuit a desire to remove all clouds on titles resulting from such Indian land claims; (d) the parties to the lawsuit and others interested in the settlement of Indian land claims within the State of Connecticut have reached an agreement which requires implementing legislation by the Congress of the United States and the Legislature of the State of Connecticut; (e) the Western Pequot Tribe, as represented as of the time of the passage of this Act by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council, is the sole successor in interest to the aboriginal entity generally known as the Western Pequot Tribe which years ago claimed aboriginal title to certain lands in the State of Connecticut; and (f) the State of Connecticut is contributing twenty acres of land owned by the State of Connecticut to fulfill this Act. The State of Connecticut will construct and repair three sections of paved or gravel roadways within the reservation of the Tribe. The State of Connecticut has provided special services to the members of the Western Pequot Tribe residing within its borders. The United States has provided few, if any, special services to the Western Pequot Tribe and has denied that it had jurisdiction over or responsibility for said Tribe. In view of the provision of land by the State of Connecticut, the provision of paved roadways by the State of Connecticut, and the provision of special services by the State of Connecticut without being required to do so by Federal law, it is the intent of Congress that the State of Connecticut not be required to otherwise contribute directly to this claims settlement.

Joint Resolution To designate the month of November 1983 as “National Christmas Seal Month”.

Nov. 16, 1983

[S.J. Res. 188]

 Whereas chronic diseases of the lung afflict well over seventeen million Americans, cause more than two hundred thousand deaths annually, at a cost to the Nation of more than $48.8 billion each year in lost wages, productivity, and in direct costs of medical care; Whereas leading the fight in the voluntary sector to prevent illness, disability, and death from lung disease is the American Lung Association—the Christmas Seal People—a nonprofit public health organization supported by individual contributions to Christmas Seals and other donations; Whereas chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases have been among the fastest rising causes of death—an 87 per centum increase in the past ten years. Almost seven million Americans, including two million two hundred and fifty thousand children, suffer from asthma; Whereas, two and one-half million people have emphysema, while seven million eight hundred thousand suffer from chronic bronchitis. And it is expected that lung cancer will surpass breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths among American women during this decade; Whereas the American Lung Association, the Nation’s first national voluntary public health organization, was founded in 1904 as the National Tuberculosis Association to combat TB when this lung disease was known to nearly every American family and one in seven deaths resulted from tuberculosis. Beginning in 1907, Christmas Seals were used to raise funds through private contributions to provide education to Americans about the disease; Whereas, in its early years, the National Tuberculosis Association pioneered in school programs aimed at motivating our young people to establish healthful living patterns. That tradition remains strong as the American Lung Association, through its community Lung Associations, helps educate the public, patients, and their families about lung diseases; sponsors community action programs for good lung health; underwrites medical research; supports education for physicians and other health care workers; wages vigorous campaigns against cigarette smoking and air pollution. The primary source of funding for more than seventy years has been Christmas Seals. This year, Christmas Seals will be in sixty million homes. Tuberculosis has been subdued considerably, but not eradicated in the one hundred and two years since the discovery of the tubercle bacillus by Doctor Robert Koch. The disease is still responsible for one in one thousand deaths—many among children. The American Lung Association continues to work with Congress to better distribute resources to control tuberculosis and work toward its eradication; 97 STAT. 986 Whereas the American Lung Association works with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, a major component of the National Institutes of Health, to support research, training, and demonstration programs relevant to the lung, as well as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, in addition to the Tuberculosis Program of the Centers for Disease Control, the Office of Smoking and Health, and the Office of Health Promotion; and Whereas the American Lung Association continues to cooperate with Federal agencies to bring about a decrease in the serious problem of lung disease, a mission to which its volunteers and staff are committed: 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 November

National Christmas Seal Month.

1983 is designated as “National Christmas Seal Month” and the President of the United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon all Government agencies and the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate activities supporting the Christmas Seal program.
