CHAPTER 102

JOINT RESOLUTION Requesting and authorizing the President of the United States to officially proclaim the week of June 7-14, 1953, as "Aid to Korea Week".

Whereas the people of the United States feel a strong bond of friendship toward the people of the Republic of Korea in our common fight in defense of freedom; and Whereas Korean women, children, aged, and maimed have been subject to the ravages of war for almost three years; and Whereas the facilities of the Government of the Republic of Korea and the magnanimous aid of private relief agencies have not to date been nearly adequate for the monumental task of rehabilitation of the millions of injured, destitute, and homeless Koreans; and Whereas the American military forces in Korea have been so moved by the suffering of the civilians there that they have contributed millions of dollars of their own money to help these stricken people; and Whereas recent reports estimate there are nine million dislocated persons, one hundred thousand orphans, three hundred thousand war widows, and fifteen thousand amputees in desperate need in that land which has borne such sacrifice to retain its freedom and independence and to resist Communist aggression; and Whereas the practice of assistance through private relief agencies is in the best American tradition: 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 United States is requested and authorized to officially proclaim the week of June 7-14, 1953, as "Aid to Korea Week": And be it further Resolved^ That the President shall by this proclamation call upon the American people, by their observance of this week, to demonstrate their friendship and affection for the distressed people of the Republic of Korea. Approved June 6, 1953.
