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

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.
