                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 Designating May 1994 as ``National Community Residential Care Month''.

Whereas the need for quality, dependable health care for the elderly, disabled, 
        and mentally ill increases each year;
Whereas community residential care fulfills medical, social, and nutritional 
        assistance to those in need and who cannot care for themselves;
Whereas the community residential care industry is both national and 
        international, and it is deserving of recognition and appreciation;
Whereas the community residential care industry is staffed by committed, 
        hardworking professionals who dedicate their working lives to the care 
        of the elderly, the disabled, and the mentally ill;
Whereas those providing community residential care must meet stringent licensing 
        requirements; and
Whereas the community residential care industry provides a uniquely workable and 
        homelike environment for those unable to care for themselves at home in 
        a manner which promotes confidence, support, and self-esteem: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That May 1994 is designated as 
``National Community Residential Care Month''. The President is 
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people 
of the United States to observe such month with appropriate ceremonies 
and activities.
