                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
 To designate the week beginning October 25, 1993, as ``National Child 
                        Safety Awareness Week''.

Whereas there is a need to promote awareness of all aspects of child safety in 
        government, education, business, law enforcement, and private sectors 
        within each community of the United States;
Whereas a combined effort and national awareness will help to eliminate or 
        discourage possibly harmful or criminal actions against children;
Whereas statistics suggest an increase in incidents involving missing and 
        exploited children during the week preceding a holiday season; and
Whereas the children of the United States are our greatest resource and warrant 
        the protection necessary to ensure their healthy and happy lives: 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 October 25, 
1993, through October 31, 1993, is designated as ``National Child 
Safety Awareness Week''. The President is authorized and requested to 
issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to 
observe the week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

                                 <all>
