RESOLUTION
Designating August 2003, as ``National Missing Adult Awareness Month''.
Whereas our Nation must acknowledge that missing adults are a growing group of
victims, who range in age from young adults to senior citizens and reach
across all lifestyles;
Whereas every missing adult has the right to be searched for and to be
remembered, regardless of the adult's age;
Whereas our world does not suddenly become a safe haven when an individual
becomes an adult;
Whereas there are tens of thousands of endangered or involuntarily missing
adults over the age of 17 in our Nation, and daily, more victims are
reported missing;
Whereas the majority of missing adults are unrecognized and unrepresented;
Whereas our Nation must become aware that there are endangered and involuntarily
missing adults, and each one of these individuals is worthy of
recognition and deserving of a diligent search and thorough
investigation;
Whereas every missing adult is someone's beloved grandparent, parent, child,
sibling, or dearest friend;
Whereas families, law enforcement agencies, communities, and States should unite
to offer much needed support and to provide a strong voice for the
endangered and involuntarily missing adults of our Nation;
Whereas we must support and encourage the citizens of our Nation to continue
with efforts to awaken our Nation's awareness to the plight of our
missing adults;
Whereas we must improve and promote reporting procedures involving missing
adults and unidentified deceased persons; and
Whereas our Nation's awareness, acknowledgment, and support of missing adults,
and encouragement of efforts to continue our search for these adults,
must continue from this day forward: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates August 2003, as ``National Missing Adult
Awareness Month''; and
(2) requests that the President issue a proclamation
calling upon the people of the United States to observe the
month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
