  Designating the week of June 1 through June 7, 1993, as ``National 
                        Polio Awareness Week''.

Whereas there are an estimated 650,000 paralytic survivors in the United States 
        today;
Whereas knowledge about the late effects of polio is beginning to spread to all 
        polio survivors, the health care community, and the general public; and
Whereas the International Polio Network and over 300 local polio support 
        organizations have been instrumental in coordinating efforts to promote 
        research on and increase the awareness of the late effects of polio: 
        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 June 1 
through June 7, 1993 be designated as ``National Polio Awareness 
Week''.
