Joint Resolution
To designate the weeks beginning April 18, 1993, and April 17, 1994,

an organ transplant every 20 minutes;
Whereas thousands of lives are saved or significantly improved annually
by organ and tissue transplantation; and

save American taxpayers millions of dollars: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
