                     KIDS DAY AMERICA/INTERNATIONAL

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I rise today to join Stefanou 
Chiropractic Centers in supporting the sixth annual Kids Day America/
International event in Philadelphia on May 20, 2000. Stefanou 
Chiropractic is the official chiropractic office representing Kids Day 
America/International at the event, which will benefit the World 
Children's Wellness Foundation.
  Kids Day America/International is a special day set aside to address 
health, safety and environmental issues. It was founded for the purpose 
of educating families and communities about important social concerns 
that affect us as individuals and as a community.
  Our children represent the promise of a bright future, and we must 
uphold our obligation to nurture and protect them, providing them with 
the opportunity to learn, achieve, grow and succeed in a healthy and 
safe environment. Kids Day America/International is an opportunity to 
teach our children positive principles which will benefit them for a 
lifetime.
  I would like to offer my best wishes to Stefanou Chiropractic Centers 
for a successful and educational event to be enjoyed by all. To honor 
this event, I put forward the following proclamation:

       Whereas, the health and well-being of children is our 
     responsibility; and
       Whereas, the safety of our children is a significant 
     concern for parents, community leaders and health care 
     givers; and
       Whereas, environmental welfare is of universal concern and 
     deserves the utmost attention; and
       Whereas, if started in childhood, proper health, safety and 
     environmental habits can be maintained for a lifetime, 
     producing a valued member of society, and enhancing our 
     community;
       Now, therefore, I urge my Senate colleagues to join me in 
     proclaiming the 20th of May, 2000 as ``Kids Day America/
     International.''
