                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 To designate the week of April 17-24, 1994, as ``Nancy Moore Thurmond 
           National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week''.

Whereas Nancy Moore Thurmond was suddenly taken from us in the prime of her 
        life;
Whereas in an attempt to honor those causes for which Nancy Moore Thurmond was 
        associated, namely the championing of children's causes;
Whereas a new patient is added to the national patient waiting list for an organ 
        transplant every twenty minutes;
Whereas thousands of lives are saved or significantly improved annually by organ 
        and tissue transplantation; and
Whereas increasing the number of organs which can be transplanted as well as 
        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 of April 17-24, 
1994, is designated ``Nancy Moore Thurmond 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 week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and 
activities.
