On the recordOctober 10, 2001
in July of this year, Governor Mike Easley of my State of North Carolina, issued a proclamation designating the week of October 21-27, 2001 as ``World Population Awareness Week.'' The proclamation draws attention to the serious issues associated with rapid population growth and urbanization, including infrastructure, pollution, transportation, health, sanitation, and public safety problems. I join Governor Easley in his recognition of World Population Awareness Week.
