                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 To designate the week beginning April 12, 1993, as ``National Public 
                    Safety Telecommunicators Week''.

Whereas over one-half million dedicated men and women are engaged in the 
        operation of emergency response systems for Federal, State, and local 
        governmental entities throughout the United States;
Whereas these individuals are responsible for responding to the telephone calls 
        of the general public for police, fire and emergency medical assistance 
        and for dispatching such assistance to help save the lives and property 
        of our citizens;
Whereas such calls include not only police, fire and emergency medical service 
        calls but those governmental communications related to forestry and 
        conservation operations, highway safety and maintenance activities, and 
        all of the other operations which modern governmental agencies must 
        conduct; and
Whereas America's public safety telecommunicators daily serve the public in 
        countless ways without due recognition by the beneficiaries of their 
        services: 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 
12, 1993, is hereby designated as ``National Public Safety 
Telecommunicators Week''. The President is authorized and requested to 
issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to 
observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

            Passed the Senate March 29 (legislative day, March 3), 
      1993.

            Attest:

                                             WALTER J. STEWART,

                                                             Secretary.
