Whereas the National Cancer Institute reports that there are 15,500,000 cancer 
        survivors in the United States;
Whereas cancer treatments can have severe, prolonged, or permanent side effects, 
        both physical and psychological;
Whereas men, women, and children all have been diagnosed with and battled 
        cancer;
Whereas it is important to recognize the value of support for all men, women, 
        and children cancer survivors and the positive impact support has for 
        both patients and families;
Whereas ``Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'' is a purely volunteer event 
        where thousands of volunteers from the spa, beauty, and related 
        industries freely give their support and services to all cancer 
        survivors;
Whereas ``Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'' has expanded to thousands of 
        salons in all 50 States since its inception in 2003;
Whereas ``Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'' is recognized by both State 
        and local governments;
Whereas ``Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'' is the only event of its 
        kind, with no solicitation of funds either before, during, or after the 
        event; and
Whereas the first Tuesday in June would be an appropriate date to designate as 
        ``National Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'': Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``National Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day''.
