RESOLUTION
Designating June 2003, as ``National Safety Month''.
Whereas the mission of the National Safety Council is to educate and influence
society 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 90th
anniversary in 2003 as the premier source of safety and health
information, education, and training in the United States;
Whereas the National Safety Council was congressionally chartered in 1953, and
is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2003 as a congressionally
chartered organization;
Whereas, even with advancements in safety that create a safer environment for
Americans, such as improvements in technology and new legislation, the
unintentional-injury death toll is still unacceptable;
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; and
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: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates June 2003, as ``National Safety Month''; and
(2) requests that the President issue a proclamation
calling upon the people of the United States to observe such
month with appropriate ceremonies and activities that promote
acknowledgement, gratitude, and respect for the advances of the
National Safety Council and its mission.
