                               RESOLUTION


 
          Designating June 2003, as ``National Safety Month''.

Whereas the mission of the National Safety Council is to educate and influence 
        society to adopt safety, health, and environmental policies, practices, 
        and procedures that prevent and mitigate human suffering and economic 
        losses arising from preventable causes;
Whereas the National Safety Council works to protect lives and promote health 
        with innovative programs;
Whereas the National Safety Council, founded in 1913, is celebrating its 90th 
        anniversary in 2003 as the premier source of safety and health 
        information, education, and training in the United States;
Whereas the National Safety Council was congressionally chartered in 1953, and 
        is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2003 as a congressionally 
        chartered organization;
Whereas, even with advancements in safety that create a safer environment for 
        Americans, such as improvements in technology and new legislation, the 
        unintentional-injury death toll is still unacceptable;
Whereas citizens deserve a solution to nationwide safety and health threats;
Whereas such a solution requires the cooperation of all levels of government, as 
        well as the general public; and
Whereas the summer season, traditionally a time of increased unintentional-
        injury fatalities, is an appropriate time to focus attention on both the 
        problem and the solution: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates June 2003, as ``National Safety Month''; and
            (2) requests that the President issue a proclamation 
        calling upon the people of the United States to observe such 
        month with appropriate ceremonies and activities that promote 
        acknowledgement, gratitude, and respect for the advances of the 
        National Safety Council and its mission.
