                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                             June 20, 2007

Mr. Pryor (for himself, Mr. Sununu, Mrs. Dole, Mr. Lugar, Ms. Landrieu,

                   which was considered and agreed to

                               RESOLUTION


 
            Designating June 2007 as National Safety Month.

Whereas the National Safety Council, founded in 1913, is celebrating its 94th 
        anniversary as the premier source of safety and health information, 
        education, and training in the United States in 2007;
Whereas the mission of the National Safety Council is to educate and influence 
        people to prevent accidental injury and death;
Whereas the National Safety Council was congressionally chartered in 1953 and is 
        celebrating its 54th anniversary as a congressionally chartered 
        organization in 2007;
Whereas the National Safety Council works to promote policies, practices, and 
        procedures leading to increased safety, protection, and health in 
        business and industry, in schools and colleges, on roads and highways, 
        and in homes and communities;
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 number of unintentional injuries remains 
        unacceptable;
Whereas the people of the United States deserve to live in communities that 
        promote safe and healthy living;
Whereas such a solution requires the cooperation of all levels of government, as 
        well as the Nation's employers and the general public;
Whereas the summer season, traditionally a time of increased accidental injuries 
        and fatalities, is an appropriate time to focus attention on injury 
        risks and preventions; and
Whereas the theme of ``National Safety Month'' for 2007 is ``Celebrating Safe 
        Communities'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates June 2007 as ``National Safety Month''; and
            (2) recognizes the accomplishments of the National Safety 
        Council and calls upon the people of the United States to 
        observe the month with appropriate ceremonies and respect.
                                 <all>
