                               RESOLUTION


 
            Designating June 2006 as National Safety Month.

Whereas the mission of the National Safety Council is to educate and influence 
        citizens of the United States 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 93rd 
        anniversary in 2006 as the premier source of safety and health 
        information, education, and training in the United States;
Whereas the National Safety Council was chartered by Congress in 1953, and is 
        celebrating its 53rd anniversary in 2006 as a congressionally-chartered 
        organization;
Whereas even with advancements in safety that create a safer environment for the 
        people of the United States, such as new legislation and improvements in 
        technology, the unintentional-injury death toll is still unacceptable;
Whereas the National Safety Council has demonstrated leadership in educating 
        citizens of the United States on how to prevent injuries and deaths to 
        senior citizens as a result of falls;
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;
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 to such safety and health threats; and
Whereas the theme of ``National Safety Month'' for 2006 is ``Making Our World A 
        Safer Place'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates June 2006 as ``National Safety Month''; and
            (2) recognizes the accomplishments of the National Safety 
        Council and calls upon the citizens of the United States to 
        observe the month with appropriate ceremonies and respect.
                                 <all>
