Joint Resolution
Designating “National Animal Agriculture Week”.
Whereas the American Society of Animal Science is celebrating its seventy-fifth anniversary in July 1983; and
Whereas its seven thousand five hundred members comprise the largest scientific society which provides information through research, extension and teaching to all segments of animal agriculture in the United States and much of the world; and
Whereas the application of scientific information has markedly improved the efficiency of meat production and enhanced end-product desirability; and
Whereas foods from animal origin supply 70 per centum of the protein, 35 per centum of the energy, 80 per centum of the calcium, 60 per centum of the phosphorous, and important quantities of the “B” vitamins and trace minerals to the average American’s diet: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the President of the
National Animal Agriculture Week.
United States is hereby authorized and requested to issue a proclamation designating the week of July 24 to July 31, 1983, as “National Animal Agriculture Week” to honor the tremendous progress made in the past seventy-five years by applying scientific principles to animal agriculture production and the role of animal products in our daily life.
