One Hundred Third Congress

AT THE SECOND SESSION
Begun and held at the City of Washington on Tuesday,

Joint Resolution
To designate the week beginning April 11, 1994, as ‘National Public Safety
Telecommunicators Week’.
Whereas over one-half million dedicated men and women are engaged in the operation of emergency response systems for Federal, State, and local governmental entities throughout the United States;
Whereas these individuals are responsible for responding to the telephone calls of the general public for police, fire and emergency medical assistance and for dispatching such assistance to help save the lives and property of our citizens;
Whereas such calls include not only police, fire and emergency medical service calls but those governmental communications related to forestry and conservation operations, highway safety and maintenance activities, and all of the other operations which modern governmental agencies must conduct; and
Whereas America’s public safety telecommunicators daily serve the public in countless ways without due recognition by the beneficiaries of their services: Now, therefore, be it
- Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the week beginning April 11, 1994, is hereby designated as ‘National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week’. The President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Vice President of the United States and
President of the Senate.
