                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
   Designating July 17 through July 23, 1993, as ``National Veterans 
                        Golden Age Games Week''.

Whereas from July 17, 1993, through July 23, 1993, the Department of Veterans 
        Affairs Medical Center at Mountain Home, Tennessee, will host the 
        seventh annual Veterans Golden Age Games;
Whereas the games are a national multi-event sports and recreational competition 
        for veterans, age 55 and over, who are currently receiving medical care 
        from the Department of Veterans Affairs;
Whereas sports and recreation are integral components in the rehabilitative 
        medicine programs offered at Veterans Administration hospitals, and help 
        improve the health and quality of life for older veterans;
Whereas veteran athletes from across the United States will compete in events 
        and competitions at the games;
Whereas the National Veterans Golden Age Games Program serves as a showcase for 
        the prevention and therapeutic medical value that sports and recreation 
        provide in the lives of all older Americans; and
Whereas the games provide further recognition of the valiant service given to 
        the Nation by its veterans: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That July 17 through July 23, 
1993, is designated as ``National Veterans Golden Age Games Week'', and 
the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation 
calling upon the people of the United States to observe such week with 
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
