9 United States Code, to make local Federal law enforcement

15 (1) There are credible reports that on July 15,

16 1994 Cuban government vessels fired high-pressure

17 water hoses, repeatedly rammed and deliberately sunk

18 the ‘‘13th of March’’, a tugboat carrying 72 unarmed

19 cuban citizens.

21 passengers on the ‘‘13th of March’’ drowned as a re22 sult of Cuban government actions, including most or

23 all of the twenty children aboard.

24 (3) The President of the United States ‘‘de25 plored’’ the sinking of the ‘‘13th of March’’ as ‘‘an-

3 (4) All of the men who survived the sinking of

4 the ‘‘13th of March’’ have been imprisoned by the

5 cuban government.

6 (5) The freedom to emigrate is an internation7 ally recognized human right and freedom’s fundamen8 tal guarantor of last resort.

9 (6) The Cuban government, by jamming TV and

10 Radio Marti, denies the Cuban people the right of free

11 access to information, including information about

12 this tragedy.

13 (b) It is the sense of the Senate to—

16 deaths of about 40 Cuban citizens, including about

17 twenty children;

21 (2) citizens of the United States profess the be22 liefs of almost every conceivable religion;

23 (3) Congress has historically protected religious

24 expression even from governmental action not in25 tended to be hostile to religion;
51

HR 4603 EAS

1 (4) the Supreme Court has written that ‘‘the free

2 exercise of religion means, first and foremost, the

3 right to believe and profess whatever religious doc4 trine one desires’’;

5 (5) the Supreme Court has firmly settled that

6 under our Constitution the public expression of ideas

7 may not be prohibited merely because the content of

8 the ideas is offensive to some;

9 (6) Congress enacted the Religious Freedom Res10 toration Act of 1993 to restate and make clear again

11 our intent and position that religious liberty is and

12 should forever be granted protection from unwar13 ranted and unjustified government intrusions and

14 burdens;

15 (7) the Equal Employment Opportunity Com16 mission has written proposed guidelines to title VII

17 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, published in the Fed18 eral Register on October 1, 1993, that expand the def19 inition of religious harassment beyond established

20 legal standards set forth by the Supreme Court, and

21 that may result in the infringement of religious lib22 erty;

1 (9) properly drawn guidelines for the determina2 tion of religious harassment should provide appro3 priate guidance to employers and employees and as4 sist in the continued preservation of religious liberty

5 as guaranteed by the first amendment;

7 guidelines that it retains wholly separate guidelines

8 for the determination of sexual harassment because

9 the Commission believes that sexual harassment raises

10 issues about human interaction that are to some ex11 tent unique; and

12 (11) the subject of religious harassment also

13 raises issues about human interaction that are to
