                                 Day''.

Whereas breast cancer strikes 1 out of every 9 American women during an average 
        woman's lifetime;
Whereas breast cancer is the leading cause of death among American women between 
        the ages of 35 and 54;
Whereas during this decade, it is estimated that more than 1,800,000 women and 
        12,000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States;
Whereas when breast cancer is detected at an early stage, the 5-year survival 
        rate is 97 percent;
Whereas according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and 
        Prevention, the percentage of American women who die from breast cancer 
        has begun to decline;
Whereas according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and 
        Prevention, the mortality rate among American women with breast cancer 
        decreased during the period from 1990 to 1995; and
Whereas breast cancer survivors have shown tremendous courage and determination 
        in the face of adversity: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates April 1, 1998, as ``National Breast Cancer 
        Survivors' Day''; and
            (2) requests the President to issue a proclamation calling 
        upon the people of the United States to observe the day with 
        appropriate programs and activities.
