(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— (1) during World War II, representatives of the United States, International Britain, and the Soviet Union took part in agreements and agreements, understandings concerning other peoples and nations in Europe; (2) the Soviet Union has not adhered to its obligation undertaken in the 1945 Yalta agreement to guarantee free elections in the countries involved, specifically the pledge for the "earliest possible establishment of free elections of government responsive to the wills of the people and to facilitate where necessary the holding of such elections"; (3) the strong desire of the people of Central and Eastern Europe to exercise their national sovereignty and selfdetermination and to resist Soviet domination has been demonstrated on many occasions since 1945, including armed resistance to the forcible Soviet takeover of the Baltic Republics and resistance in the Ukraine as well as in the German Democratic Republic in 1953, in Hungary in 1956, in Czechoslovakia in 1968, and in Poland in 1956, 1970, and since 1980; (4) it is appropriate that the United States express the hopes of the people of the United States that the people of Central and Eastern Europe be permitted to exercise their national sovereignty and self-determination free from Soviet interference; and (5) it is appropriate for the United States to reject any interpretation or application that, as a result of the signing of the 1945 Yalta executive agreements, the United States accepts and recognizes in any way Soviet hegemony over the countries of Eastern Europe.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— (1) it is the policy of the Government of the Soviet Union to hinder and deny the free practice of religion and to deny freedom to emigrate to the victims of religious persecution; (2) such policies are a violation of the letter and spirit of the Charter of the United Nations, the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights, and the Helsinki Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe; (3) members of the 170-member Pentecostal Christian community living in Chuguyevka in the Soviet Far East have allegedly undergone persecution at the hands of the Soviet authorities as a result of their attempts to practice their religious beliefs; (4) the Soviet authorities allegedly have refused to allow members of that Pentecostal community to emigrate from the Soviet Union; (5) when, on Monday May 13, 1985, four members of the Pentecostal community of Chuguyevka attempted to enter the United States Embassy in Moscow in an attempt to seek refuge and make their plight known, they were intercepted by Soviet guards stationed outside the Embassy; (6) in the scuffle that ensued three of the Pentecostals were beaten severely and arrested by the Soviet guards, while the fourth Pentecostal gained entrance to the Embassy and was interviewed by United States officials; and (7) upon agreeing to leave the United States Embassy the man was driven to the subway in a diplomatic car where he was detained by Soviet police before he could enter the subway. (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the Soviet Union has acted in violation of the human rights of the Pentecostal community in Chuguyevka by hindering the practice of their religious beliefs and refusing to allow them to emigrate from the Soviet Union; (2) personnel of the Government of the Soviet Union acted in violation of the human rights of the four members of the Pentecostal community who attempted to enter the United States Embassy in Moscow, particularly in using excessive force in an attempt to prevent their entry; (3) the United States Department of State should continue through all available channels to assure the safety of the four persons who attempted to enter the United States Embassy, and to seek to persuade the Government of the Soviet Union to allow the members of the Pentecostal community in Chuguyevka to emigrate to the West; and (4) the Secretary of State should undertake a study of United States policy relating to the granting of asylum in United States embassies abroad and develop recommendations for the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives as to where current policy might be adjusted with relation to incidents over the past five years where asylum has been requested at United States embassies abroad.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is therefore the sense of the Congress that— (1) one important element of a peaceful future for Taiwan is greater participation in the political process by all the people on Taiwan; and (2) accordingly, the United States should encourage the authorities on Taiwan, in the spirit of the Taiwan Relations Act, to work vigorously toward this end.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— (1) the People's Republic of China has made substantial progress in promoting market-oriented practices throughout the Chinese economy; (2) the Chinese economy has responded to this increased liberalization with record growth that last year alone resulted in increases in the real gross national product of an estimated 13 percent; (3) this growth has created significant new demand for a vast array of products and services that can be met by American producers; (4) United States trade with the People's Republic of China totalled only $6,000,000,000 in 1984 and was again in deficit by more than $50,000,000; (5) increased exports are essential to the creation of American jobs and to the vitality of the American economy; and (6) the People's Republic of China represents the world's largest potential market.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress that— Asylum. International organizations.

(1) Cambodians, Laotians, and Vietnamese seeking asylum and refuge in Thailand should not be involuntarily repatriated or otherwise put a t risk; and (2) every effort should be made to provide increased security for refugees in camps in Thailand which should include an increased presence by international humanitarian organizations. (c) REVIEW OF CERTAIN CAMBODIAN REFUGEES.—

(1) the trade deficit looms larger than any other threat to the ability of the United States to generate jobs and create economic well-being; (2) the trade deficit continues to deteriorate even from the 1984 level of $123,000,000,000; (3) the trade deficit will continue to deteriorate until the value of the dollar declines on foreign exchange markets; (4) the dollar's rise may slow down but is unlikely to fall sufficiently as a result of Congress' contemplated budget deficit reduction measures; (5) the value of the dollar would probably fall under a number of tax reform proposals but industries losing market share due to the exchange rate may not be able to wait for a complete tax package; (6) the only remaining timely option for lowering the value of the dollar is intervention in foreign exchange markets by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Federal Reserve Board; (7) any such intervention must be strong enough to achieve the intent of the Congress of lowering the dollar's value but sufficiently moderate to prevent a sudden drop in its value; (8) any such intervention in order to assure a gradual decline and protect against too large a drop in the value of the dollar, will require coordinated action by the central banks of Europe and Japan as well as the United States; and (9) such coordination is especially important to strengthen economic and political ties with the allies of the United States and to promote consistent macroeconomic policies to the mutual benefit of all. (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Therefore, it is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, in concert with United States allies and coordinated with the central banks of the Group of Five or other major central banks, should take such steps as are necessary to lower gradually the value of the dollar; (2) such steps should not exclude intervention in the foreign exchange markets; (3) the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board should work to ensure that the domestic macroeconomic policies of the United States and its allies are forged to reinforce rather than oppose one another.

Rh while Nellie helped some, although not accustomed to the oars, the people fairly shouted.

For a minute the girls waited in front of the stand. But the more people inspected them the better they appeared. Finally, the head judge stood up.

"First prize is awarded to the Fisherman's Daughters," he announced.

The cheering that followed his words showed the approval of the crowd. Nellie and Dorothy were almost frightened at the noise. Then they rowed their boat to the edge, and as the crowd gathered around them to offer congratulations, the other prizes were awarded.

The second prize went to the Indians!

"Lucky they don't know us," said Hal to Bert, "for they would never let the two best prizes get in one set." The Indians were certainly well made-up, and their canoe a perfect redman's bark.

The third prize went to the "Sea-serpent," for being the funniest boat in the procession; and the fourth to the gunboat. Then came a great shouting!

"But who was the little girl with Dorothy Minturn?" asked the mayor's wife. Of course everybody knew Dorothy, but Nellie was a stranger.

Mrs. Minturn, Mrs. Bobbsey, Aunt Sarah, Mrs. Bingham, and Mrs. Blake, the latter being the mayor's wife, had a little corner in the pavilion to themselves. Here Nellie's story was quietly told.

"How nice it was she got the prize," said Mrs. Blake, after hearing about Nellie's hardships. "I think we had better have it in money—and we might add something to it," she suggested. "I am sure Mr. Blake would be glad to. He often gives a prize himself. I'll just speak to him."

Of course Dorothy was to share the prize, and she accepted a pretty silver loving cup. But what do you suppose they gave Nellie?

Fifty dollars!

Was not that perfectly splendid?

The prize for Nellie was twenty-five dollars,

Public Law 99-112 99th Congress Joint Resolution To designate the week of October 6, 1985, through October 12, 1985, as "Mental Illness Awareness Week".

Whereas mental illness is a problem of grave concern and consequence in American society, though one widely but unnecessarily feared and misunderstood; Whereas thirty-one to forty-one million Americans annually suffer from clearly diagnosable mental disorders involving significant disability with respect to employment, attendance at school, or independent living; Whereas alcohol, drug, and mental disorders affect almost 19 per centum of American adults in any six-month period; Whereas mental illness in at least twelve million children interferes with vital developmental and maturational processes; Whereas mental disorder-related deaths are estimated to be thirtythree thousand with combined suicide accounting for at least twenty-nine thousand, although the real number is thought to be at least three times higher; Whereas our growing population of the elderly is particularly vulnerable to mental illness; Whereas mental disorders result in staggering costs to society, totaling an estimated $87,000,000,000 in direct treatment and support, and indirect costs to society, including lost productivity; Whereas mental illness is increasingly a treatable disability with excellent prospects for amelioration and recovery when properly recognized; Whereas in recent years there have been unprecedented major research developments bringing new methods and technology to the sophisticated and objective study of the functioning of the brain and its linkages to both normal and abnormal behavior; Whereas research in recent decades has led to a wide array of new and more effective modalities of treatment (pharmacological, behavioral, psychosocial) for some of the most incapacitating forms of mental illness (including schizophrenia, major effective disorders, phobias, and panic disorders); Whereeis appropriate treatment of mental illness has been demonstrated to be cost effective in terms of restored productivity, reduced utilization of other health services, and lessened social dependence; and Whereas recent and unparalleled growth in scientific knowledge about mental illness has generated the current emergence of a new threshold of opportunity for future research advances and fruitful application to specific clinical problems: Now, therefore, be it

Rh but urged by Mrs. Blake, the mayor added to it his own check for the balance.

Naturally Nellie wanted to go right home to her mother with it, and nothing about the reception had any interest for her after she received the big check. However, Mrs. Bobbsey insisted that Mr. Minturn would take the money to Nellie's mother the next day, so the little girl had to be content.

Then, when all the festivities were over, and the children's excitement had brought them to bed very tired that night, Nellie sat by her window and looked out at the sea!

Always the same prayer, but to-night, somehow, it seemed answered!

Was it the money for mother that made the father seem so near?

The roaring waves seemed to call out:

"Nellie—Nellie dear! I'm coming—coming home to you!"

And while the little girl was thus dreaming upstairs, Mr. Minturn down in the libary was telling about his visit to Nellie's mother.

"There is no doubt about it," he told Mrs. Bobbsey. "It was Nellie's father who went

Public Law 99-113 99th Congress Joint Resolution To designate the month of October 1985 as "National Spina Bifida Month.

Whereas spina bifida is a birth defect in the spinal column which occurs in one of every one thousand births in the United States; Whereas spina bifida is the most common crippler of newborns, resulting when one or more bones in the back (vertebrae) fail to close completely during prenatal development; Whereas while the cause of spina bifida is not known, it appears to be the result of multiple environmental and genetic factors; Whereas although most of the March of Dimes and Easter Seal poster children have spina bifida, many people have not heard of the defect; Whereas only a few cities in the United States have proper care centers and specialized professionals that can provide the most effective, aggressive treatment for children and adults with spina bifida; and Whereas an increase in the national awareness of the problem of spina bifida may stimulate the interest and concern of the American people, which may lead, in turn, to increased research and eventually to the discovery of a cure for spina bifida: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That the month of October 1985 is designated "National Spina Bifida Month" and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Public Law 99-115 99th Congress Joint Resolution To designate October 1985 as "Learning Disabilities Awareness Month".

Whereas millions of Americans suffer from 1 or more learning disabilities; Whereas it is estimated that 10,000,000 American children have been diagnosed as suffering from learning disabilities; Whereas most learning-disabled persons are of normal or above normal intelligence but cannot learn to read and write in the conventional manner; Whereas it is important for parents, educators, physicians, and learning-disabled persons to be aware of the nature of learning disabilities and the resources available to help learning-disabled persons; Whereas early diagnosis and treatment of learning-disabled children gives such children a better chance for a happy and productive adult life; Whereas the courage necessary for learning-disabled persons to meet their special challenges should be recognized; Whereas hundreds of national and local support groups for learningdisabled persons, parents of learning-disabled children, and professionals who work with learning-disabled persons have made important contributions to the treatment of learning disabilities; Whereas research and study have contributed to public knowledge about learning disabilities, but much remains to be learned; and Whereas public awareness of and concern about learning disabilities may encourage the establishment of the programs necessary to promote early diagnosis and treatment of learning disabilities and to help learning-disabled persons and their families cope with their learning disabilities: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That October 1985 hereby is designated "Learning Disabilities Awareness Month", and the President of the United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon all public officials and the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
