  Supporting the goals and ideals of ``National Community Residential 
                             Care Month''.

Whereas the need for quality and dependable health care for the elderly, 
        disabled, and mentally ill increases every year;
Whereas community residential care provides medical, social, and nutritional 
        assistance to individuals who cannot provide for themselves;
Whereas the community residential care industry provides a workable and home-
        like environment for individuals unable to care for themselves at home, 
        and does so in a manner which promotes confidence, support, and self-
        esteem for the individuals receiving such care;
Whereas the community residential care industry is staffed by committed, 
        hardworking professionals who dedicate their working lives to the care 
        of the elderly, disabled, and mentally ill;
Whereas persons providing community residential care must meet stringent 
        licensing requirements;
Whereas both the national and international community residential care industry 
        are deserving of recognition and appreciation; and
Whereas the Community Residential Care Association of California has designated 
        the month of May as ``National Community Residential Care Month'': Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress supports the goals and ideals of National Community 
Residential Care Month and requests that the President issue a 
proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe such 
a month with appropriate programs and activities.
