                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
To designate the week beginning April 18, 1993, and the week beginning 
  April 17, 1994, each as ``National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness 
                                Week''.

Whereas a new patient is added to the national patient waiting list for an organ 
        transplant every 20 minutes;
Whereas thousands of lives are saved or significantly improved annually by organ 
        and tissue transplantation; and
Whereas increasing the number of transplantable organs and tissues would save 
        American taxpayers millions of dollars: 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 April 
18, 1993, and the week beginning April 17, 1994, are each designated 
``National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week'', and the President 
is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the 
people of the United States to observe such weeks with appropriate 
programs, ceremonies, and activities.

                                 <all>
