Whereas February 16, 1983, marks the sixty-fifth anniversary of the declaration of independence of Lithuania; Whereas on February 16, 1918, the Council of Lithuania, the sole representative of the Lithuanian people, in conformity with the recognized right to national self-determination, proclaimed the restitution of the independent and democratic state of Lithuania and declared rupture of all ties which formally bound Lithuania to other nations; Wheresis a free Lithuania existed until the Soviet takeover in 1940; Whereas the United States opposes tyranny and injustice in all forms and supports the cause of a free Lithuania; Whereas all Americans of Lithuanian descent protest the Soviet presence in the land of their ancestors; and Whereas the oppressed people currently living in Lithuania should keep the flame of freedom forever burning in their hearts: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.

Public Law 98-3 98th Congress Joint Resolution Providing that the week containing March 8, 1983, shall be designated as "Women's History Week". Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic back- ground helped found the Nation in countless recorded and unre- corded ways as servants, slaves, nurses, nuns, homemakers, industrial workers, teachers, reformers, soldiers, pioneers; and in professions and occupations representative of all walks of life; Whereas American women have played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of our Nation's life by constituting a significant portion of the labor force working in and outside of the home; Whereas American women have played a unique role throughout our history by providing the majority of the Nation's volunteer labor force and have been particularly important in the establish- ment of early charitable philanthropic and cultural institutions in the country; Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic back- ground served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement, not only to secure their own right of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor union movement, and the modern civil rights movement; and Whereas despite these contributions, the role of American women in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued in the body of American history: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the week containing March 8, 1983, is designated as "Women's History Week", and the President is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

 Cretaceous and Tertiary plants to another, Devonian plants to a third. Common forms of shells found in great numbers in some of our strata are recognized by every geologist; but whenever a new or comparatively rare form is discovered the specimen is sent to some palaeontologist of acknowledged authority at whatever distance he may be from the place where the discovery is made; nor would any geologist attempt to describe it without reference to museum collections and plates in published memoirs. And the same is true of corals, of fish, of mammals. Mr. Mansfield has had to wait more than seven years to get his Eurypterids properly described and figured as they are in this report.

That the Survey has not been unmindful of its duty in regard to palæontology is shown by the publication of the admirable report on the Coal Flora of Pennsylvania and the United States by Mr. Lesquereux, who has been occupied ten years in its preparation and publication; and by the report on the Permian plants of Greene county and West Virginia, by Prof. Wm. M. Fontaine and Prof. I. C. White. Prof. E. W. Claypole's report on Perry and Juniata counties and the fossils of Middle Pennsylvania, the fruit of three years' field and office work, is now ready to go to press. Prof. Angelo Heilprin, of Philadelphia, has volunteered a report on the Permian shells of Wilkes-Barre. And in the various reports of Prof. Stevenson and Prof. White will be found copious notes of the distribution of fossil forms through the column of rocks in their respective districts.

It must not be supposed, however, that the fossils of Pennsylvania have been adequately studied. In fact, their systematic study has but been begun. The patient field work which Prof. Claypole has expended upon the two counties of Perry and Juniata—or, rather, on parts of these two counties—must be bestowed on the other sixty-five counties of the Slate before it can be said that this part of the Geological Survey of Pennsylvania has been accomplished. A good beginning has certainly been made, but it

 PUBLIC LAW 98-8 —MAR. 24, 1983 97 STAT. 13 Public Law 98-8 98th Congress An Act Making appropriations to provide productive employment for hundreds of thousands of jobless Americans, to hasten or initiate Federal projects and construction of lasting value to the Nation and its citizens, and to provide humanitarian assistance to the indigent for fiscal year 1983, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the following sums are appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the fiscal year 1983, and for other purposes in order to increase the wealth of the Nation, putting women and men back to productive work made necessary by the conditions described as follows: Mar. 24, 1983 [H.R. 1718] Emergency jobs appropriations. TITLE I—MEETING OUR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WITH ESSENTIAL AND PRODUCTIVE JOBS CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS It is the sense of the Congress that the continued economic recession has resulted in nearly fourteen million unemployed Americans, including those no longer searching for work, rivaling the actual numbers of unemployed during the Great Depression. Other millions work only part-time due to the lack of full-time gainful employment. The annual cost of unemployment compensa- tion has reached the staggering total of $32,000,000,000. The hard- ships occasioned by the recession have been much more severe in terms of duration of unemployment and reduced percentage of unemployed receiving jobless benefits than in previous recessions. Actual filings of business related bankruptcies for the year ending June 30, 1982, reached a total of seventy-seven thousand as com- pared with a prior year figure of sixty-six thousand. Business fail- ures are up 49 per centum compared to one year ago. Delinquencies are many times greater. The American farmers are more than $215,000,000,000 in debt. Hundreds of thousands of farmers are faced with bankruptcy. It is essential that interest rates, which have been reduced follow- ing a General Accounting Office investigation of the Federal Re- serve System at the request of the Committee on Appropriations on April 26, 1982, continue at present or lower rates with due regard for controlling inflation so as not to have an opposite effect of driving interest rates upward for business, industrial and agricul- tural recovery. Under these circumstances, the Congress finds that a program to provide for neglected needs of the Nation which results in produc- tive jobs, and to provide humanitarian assistance to the indigent and homeless, to be very strongly in the national interest.

 97 STAT. 14 PUBLIC LAW 98-8 —MAR. 24, 1983 REDUCING AND STABIUZING INTEREST RATES It is the sense of the Congress that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Open Market Committee with due regard for controlling inflation so as not to have an opposite effect of driving interest rates upward should continue such actions as are necessary to achieve and maintain a level of interest rates low enough to generate significant economic growth and thereby reduce the current intolerable level of unemployment as they have since the Committee on Appropriations on April 26, 1982 obtained an investigation of the Federal Reserve System by the General Ac- counting Office. MAINTAINING AND PROTECTING PUBLIC INVESTMENT FEDERAL BUILDINGS In order to assist in reducing the backlog of needed maintenance and repair of Federal buildings across the Nation, $125,000,000 for payment to the "Federal Buildings Fund", General Services Admin- istration, to remain available until expended, which shall be availa- ble under the subactivity "Alterations and repairs" for projects which do not require prospectuses. 96 Stat. 2097. 23 USC 104 note. 96 Stat. 2098. 23 USC 104 note.

TO SPEED UP IMPROVEMENT OF MASS TRANSPORTATION To accelerate the construction, modernization and improvement of urban mass transportation systems, to increase the mobility of the urban work force which will result in productive jobs, an additional amount of $132,650,000, to remain available until expended. The Congress disapproves the proposed deferral of budget authority in the amount of $229,000,000 for the Mass Transportation Capital Fund (deferral numbered D83-59), as set forth in the Presi- dent's special message which was transmitted to the Congress on February 1, 1983.
