PETITIONS AND MEMORIALS 

The following petitions and memorials were laid before the Senate and 

were referred or ordered to lie on the 

table as indicated: 

POM–129. A resolution adopted by the 

House of the Legislature of the State of 

Alaska; to the Committee on Foreign Relations. 

‘‘HOUSE RESOLVE NO. 8 

‘‘Whereas the International Maritime Organization (IMO), an organization under the 

auspices of the United Nations, is currently 

drafting proposals for an international treaty adopting and expanding insurance indemnity provisions for seaborne commodities; 

and 

‘‘Whereas, in contrast to existing maritime 

classifications and the policies and regulations of the United States Department of 

Transportation and the United States Coast 

Guard, the IMO proposes classifying coal as 

a hazardous and noxious material; and 

‘‘Whereas there is no rational reason or 

precedent for classifying coal as a hazardous 

or noxious material and the current maritime insurance has, without exception, adequately provided insurance indemnity for 

seaborne coal shipping; and 

‘‘Whereas action classifying coal as a hazardous or noxious material could significantly increase insurance rates and the delivered cost of coal to the benefit of competing fuel sources; and 

‘‘Whereas this action would dramatically 

reduce the competitiveness of coal as an import fuel and reduce the amount of exported 

coal from countries such as the United 

States; and 

‘‘Whereas this action would reduce the potential for the export of Alaska coal; and 

‘‘Whereas the National Coal Association, 

the United States Coal Exporters Association, and the Alaska Coal Association, together with labor organizations, adamantly 

oppose the IMO proposal; and 

‘‘Whereas it is critical that United States 

Government representatives to the IMO convention oppose the classification of coal as a 

hazardous or noxious material; be it 

‘‘Resolved, That the House of Representatives respectfully urges the United States 

Senate not to ratify a Hazardous and Noxious Substance Convention proposed by the 

International Maritime Organization that 

includes coal as a designated hazardous or 

noxious material. 

‘‘Copies of this resolution shall be sent to 

the Honorable Al Gore, Jr., Vice-President of 

the United States and President of the U.S. 

Senate; the Honorable Bob Dole, Majority 

Leader of the U.S. Senate; the Honorable 

Strom Thurmond, President Pro Tempore of 

the U.S. Senate; and to the Honorable Ted 

Stevens and the Honorable Frank Murkowski, U.S. Senators, and the Honorable 

Don Young, U.S. Representative, members of 

the Alaska delegation in Congress.’’

POM–130. A concurrent resolution adopted 

by the Legislature of the State of Arizona; to 

the Committee on Foreign Relations. 

‘‘HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 2004 

‘‘Whereas, since 1949. China has been a divided nation, with the government of the Republic of China on Taiwan and the People’s 

Republic of China on the Chinese mainland 

exercising exclusive jurisdiction over separate parts of China. The government of Taiwan further acknowledges that two equal 

and distinct political entities exist within 

the divided China. United Nations General 

Assembly Resolution 2758, which in 1971 restored to the People’s Republic of China its 

seat in the United Nations while expelling 

the Republic of China on Taiwan, does not 

provide a complete solution to the issue of 

China’s seat in the United Nations that resulted from this division of China; and 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan’s twenty-one million 

people enjoy a multiparty, democratic form 

of government, the policies of which conform 

to those of other democratic nations; and 

‘‘Whereas, during the past decade, Taiwan 

has assumed regional and global responsibilities in international development programs 

and humanitarian relief operations. Taiwan 

often has closely coordinated its efforts in 

responding to international disasters and 

crises and in undertaking programs of assistance for less-developed nations with those of 

the United States. Taiwan clearly has shown 

its willingness to assume a direct role in 

contributing to the well-being of the global 

community; and 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan has joined several important multilateral organizations in recent 

years, including Asia/Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the Asian Development Bank. The United States has supported 

the admission of Taiwan into these organizations; and 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan is currently the fourteenth largest trading nation in the world 

and its gross national product is the world’s 

twentieth largest. Its annual per capital income exceeds ten thousand dollars in United 

States currency, its foreign exchange reserves exceed eighty billion dollars in United 

States currency and it has become the 

world’s seventh largest outbound investor; 

and 

‘‘Whereas, the government of Taiwan has 

initiated a campaign to pursue a seat in the 

United Nations without threatening the current position of the People’s Republic of 

China in this organization. Several other 

countries have expressed their support of 

Taiwan’s efforts in this capacity by urging 

the United Nations to consider the exceptional situation of Taiwan in the international community. Taiwan’s membership 

in the United Nations would conform with 

the established pattern of parallel representation by divided countries as well as with 

the principle of universality, whereby all 

people can be represented in this world organization. Furthermore, the participation of 

Taiwan in the United Nations would contribute to the peace and stability of the Pacific region and therefore to the interests of 

the United States; and 

‘‘Whereas, the fifth-largest foreign market 

for Arizona products in 1993, Taiwan enjoys a 

friendly commercial relationship with the 

state of Arizona and last year received $477 

million in Arizona exports. Recognizing the 

importance of trade with Asia and particularly with Taiwan, the Arizona Department 

of Commerce established the Arizona AsianPacific Trade Office in Taipei, Taiwan to 

help Arizona’s exporting companies conduct 

business in Asia and to strive to increase foreign investment in this state. Arizona is 

strongly committed to encouraging awareness of both the commercial and cultural 

benefits of Taiwan, as demonstrated by the 

recent Multi-State Trade Days mission, in 

which the Arizona Department of Commerce 

recruited companies to promote their products in such overseas locations as 

Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and the activities of the 

Phoenix Sister Cities Commission, established in 1975 to help promote student exchanges and cultural and business ties with 

sister cities such as Taipei, Taiwan: Therefore, be it 

‘‘Resolved by the House of Representatives of 

the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring: 

‘‘1. That the Members of the House of Representatives express their support of the 

broader participation of Taiwan in the 

United Nations and in the international 

community, and in so doing, encourage the 

people of this state and country to recognize 

the mutual benefits of our ongoing commercial relationship with Taiwan. 

‘‘2. That the Secretary of State of the 

State of Arizona transmit a certified copy of 

this Resolution to the Speaker of the United 

States House of Representatives, to the 

President of the United States Senate, to the 

Secretary-General of the United Nations, to 

the United States Trade Representative and 

each member of the Arizona Congressional 

delegation.’’

POM–131. A resolution adopted by the Senate of the Legislature of the Commonwealth 

of Massachusetts; to the Committee on Foreign Relations. 

‘‘SENATE RESOLUTION

‘‘Whereas, the extermination of the more 

than one and one-half million Armenians by 

the Ottoman Turks and the forced deportation of countless others has been remembered every year on April twenty-fourth 

since Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen as Armenian Martyrs Day; and 

mmaher on MIKETEMP with SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

S7012 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE May 19, 1995 

‘‘Whereas, eighty years ago Armenians 

were forced to witness the slaughter of their 

relatives and the loss of their ancestral 

homeland; and 

‘‘Whereas, modern Turkey continues to 

deny and distort the facts of the genocide 

and honors the perpetrators of the crime 

against humanity as national heroes; and 

‘‘Whereas, the continued denial of the Armenian genocide by the present-day Turkish 

Government deprives the Armenian people 

full recognition of this tragic chapter in 

their history; and 

‘‘Whereas, the Armenian people have not 

received reparations for their losses; and 

‘‘Whereas, ancestral Armenian lands have 

not been returned to the Armenian people; 

Now therefore be it 

‘‘Resolved, That the Massachusetts Senate 

hereby joins in commemorating this eightieth anniversary of the Armenian genocide 

on April twenty-fourth, Nineteen Hundred 

and Ninety-Five and urges the citizenry of 

the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to do 

the same; and be it further 

‘‘Resolved, That the Massachusetts Senate 

respectfully calls on the President of the 

United States to request the Turkish Government to acknowledge the genocide perpetrated against the Armenians in 1915–1923; 

and be it further 

‘‘Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions 

be transmitted forthwith by the Clerk of the 

Senate to the President of the United 

States.’’

POM–132. A concurrent resolution adopted 

by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana; to the Committee on Foreign Relations. 

‘‘HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 71 

‘‘Whereas, China has been a divided nation 

since 1949, and the governments of the Republic of China on Taiwan (hereinafter cited 

as ‘‘Taiwan’’) and the People’s Republic of 

China on Mainland China (hereinafter cited 

as ‘‘Mainland China’’) have exercised jurisdiction over separate parts of China; 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan has the 19th largest 

gross national product in the world, strong 

and vibrant economy, and one of the largest 

foreign exchange reserves of any nation; 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan has dramatically improved its record on human rights and routinely holds free and fair elections in a 

multiparty system, as evidenced most recently by the December 3, 1994 balloting for 

local and provincial officials; 

‘‘Whereas, The 21 million people on Taiwan 

are not represented in the United Nations 

and their human rights as citizens of the 

world are therefore severely abridged; 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan has in recent years repeatedly expressed its strong desire to participate in the United Nations; 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan has much to contribute 

to the work and funding of the United Nations; 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan has demonstrated its 

commitment to the world community by responding to international disasters and crises such as environmental destruction in the 

Persian Gulf and famine in Rwanda by providing financial donations, medical assistance, and other forms of aid; 

‘‘Whereas, The world community has reacted positively to Taiwan’s desire for international participation, as shown by Taiwan’s 

continued membership in the Asian Development Bank, the admission of Taiwan into 

the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation 

group as a full member, and the accession of 

Taiwan as an observer at the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade as the first step 

toward becoming a contracting party to that 

organization; 

‘‘Whereas, The United States has supported Taiwan’s participation in these bodies 

and indicated, in its policy review of September 1994, a stronger and more active policy of support for Taiwan’s participation in 

other international organizations; 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan has repeatedly stated 

that its participation in international organizations is that of a divided nation, with no 

intention to challenge the current international status of Mainland China; 

‘‘Whereas, The United Nations and other 

international organizations have established 

precedents concerning the admission of separate parts of divided nations, such as Korea 

and Germany; and 

‘‘Whereas, Taiwan’s participation in international organizations would not prevent or 

imperil a future voluntary union between 

Taiwan and Mainland China any more than 

the recognition of separate governments in 

the former West Germany and the former 

East Germany prevented the voluntary reunification of Germany. Now, therefore, be it 

‘‘Resolved by the House of Representatives of 

the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, 

the Senate concurring: 

‘‘Section 1. Taiwan deserves full participation, including a seat in the United Nations, 

and the government of the United States 

should immediately encourage the United 

Nations to establish an ad hoc committee for 

the purpose of studying membership for Taiwan in that organization and its related 

agencies. 

‘‘Section 2. The Principal Clerk of the 

House of Representatives is directed to 

transmit a copy of this resolution to the 

President of the United States, the Speaker 

of the United States House of Representatives, and the United States Senate Majority 

Leader.’’

POM–133. A joint resolution adopted by the 

Legislature of the State of Washington; to 

the Committee on the Budget. 

‘‘HOUSE JOINT MEMORIAL 4029 

‘‘Whereas, A safe and efficient national 

transportation system is essential to the nation’s international competitiveness; key to 

domestic productivity; and vital to our quality of life; and 

‘‘Whereas, despite the transportation investments promised in the enactment of the 

Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), Congress has yet to 

fully fund the authorizations it contains for 

highways and transit; and 

‘‘Whereas, The current levels of federal 

funding for the nation’s highway and public 

transportation systems are inadequate to 

meet rehabilitation needs, to ensure the 

safety of the traveling public, to begin solving congestion and rural access problems, to 

conduct adequate transportation research 

programs, and to keep America competitive 

in world economy; and 

‘‘Whereas, The Federal motor fuel tax and 

aviation fuel tax have traditionally been regarded as user fees paid by transportation 

users, the proceeds of which are and will continue to be required to help meet America’s 

transportation requirements; and 

‘‘Whereas, The action to divert transportation user fees from documented transportation needs was taken by Congress despite 

strong support for placing the revenue in the 

Highway Trust Fund from the National Governors’ Association, the United States Conference of Mayors, and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation 

Officials, in addition to many industry and 

transportation user organizations; and 

‘‘Whereas, Use of the transportation fuel 

taxes for deficit reduction purposes places 

the burden of reducing the deficit on industry and individuals based predominantly on 

how many miles they travel, without taking 

into account their ability to pay; and because of the long distances that must be 

driven by many people and industries in 

some states as opposed to other states, great 

inequities are inherent in any proposal to 

utilize motor fuel taxes for deficit reduction 

purposes; and 

‘‘Whereas, Including of the transportation 

trust funds in the Unified Federal Budget 

subjects transportation programs to arbitrary expenditure ceilings, despite the fact 

that trust fund expenditures are fully financed by users, and do not contribute to the 

federal deficit; and 

‘‘Whereas, In recent years the imposition 

of such budgetary limitations has resulted in 

a substantial build up of revenue in the trust 

funds, while states and local agencies have 

received less federal funding than authorized 

and available, and as a consequence, the nation’s transportation needs are being inadequately addressed: Now, therefore, 

‘‘Your Memorialists respectfully urge Congress to: 

‘‘(1) Invest the resources in the nation’s 

transportation system needed to enable economic competitiveness and job creation, as a 

minimum by fully funding at the earliest 

possible time the ISTEA highway and transit 

authorizations; 

‘‘(2) Recognize and reaffirm the traditional 

user-fee principle that has sustained the development of the national transportation 

system for more than 70 years, by reserving 

the transportation user fees now being collected for deficit reduction solely for future 

transportation purposes; and 

‘‘(3) Act expeditiously to remove the Highway Trust Fund and Airport and Airway 

Trust Fund from the Unified Federal Budget, 

be it 

‘‘Resolved, That copies of this Memorial be 

immediately transmitted to the President 

and the Secretary of the United States Senate, to the Speaker and the Clerk of the 

United States House of Representatives, and 

to each member of this state’s delegation to 

Congress.’’

POM–134. A concurrent resolution adopted 

by the General Assembly of the State of 

Iowa; to the Committee on Commerce, 

Science, and Transportation. 

‘‘SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 11 

‘‘Whereas, Amtrak, the national railroad 

passenger corporation providing national 

railroad passenger service, is energy efficient 

and environmentally beneficial, consuming 

about half as much energy per passenger 

mile as an airline and causing less air pollution; and 

‘‘Whereas, Amtrak provides mobility to 

citizens of many smaller communities poorly 

served by air and bus services and to those 

persons with medical conditions which prevent them from flying; and 

‘‘Whereas, Amtrak is nine times safer than 

driving a motor vehicle on a passenger mile 

basis, and operates even in severe weather 

conditions; and 

‘‘Whereas, Amtrak travel rose forty-eight 

percent from 1982 to 1993 and Amtrak dramatically improved coverage of its operating 

costs from revenues; and 

‘‘Whereas, expansion of Amtrak service by 

using existing rail rights-of-way would cost 

less and use less land than new highways and 

airports and would further increase Amtrak’s energy efficiency advantage; and 

‘‘Whereas, federal investment in Amtrak 

has fallen in the last decade while it has 

risen for airports and highways; and 

‘‘Whereas, Amtrak pays a fuel tax that airlines do not pay; and 

‘‘Whereas, Amtrak workers and vendors 

pay more in taxes than the federal government invests in Amtrak: Now therefore, be it 

‘‘Resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring, That the President of 

mmaher on MIKETEMP with SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

May 19, 1995 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE S7013 

the United States and the Congress are urged 

to do the following: 

‘‘1. Maintain the current level of Amtrak 

funding. 

‘‘2. Exempt Amtrak from paying fuel taxes 

that airlines do not pay. 

‘‘3. Include a strong Amtrak system in any 

plans for a national transportation system: 

be it further 

‘‘Resolved, That copies of this Resolution 

be sent to the President of the United 

States, the President of the United States 

Senate, the Speaker of the United States 

House of Representations, and members of 

Iowa’s congressional delegation.’’

POM–135. A resolution adopted by the Senate of Legislature of the State of Hawaii; to 

the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. 

‘‘SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 21 

‘‘Whereas, H.R. 602, Title III, if enacted, 

would grant the State of Hawaii concurrent 

jurisdiction over Baker Island, Jarvis Island, 

Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Howland Island, the Midway Islands, and Palmyra 

Atoll, to the same extent as and in the same 

manner that such jurisdiction applies to all 

other areas within the State of Hawaii; and 

‘‘Whereas, all of these areas have historical 

links to the State of Hawaii, the Territory of 

Hawaii, and the Kingdom of Hawaii, and are 

either part of the Hawaiian Archipelago or 

are within the same relative distance as the 

distant islands of the State; and 

‘‘Whereas, no rights or liabilities of title or 

ownership are transferred to Hawaii as a result of this Act; and 

‘‘Whereas, the people of Hawaii have demonstrated, by their wise governance and 

stewardship of the ocean resources of the Hawaiian Archipelago, both living and non-living, their desire to insure wise management 

and careful preservation of the ocean environment; and 

‘‘Whereas, Hawaii’s political, economic, 

and social destiny has been linked, historically, to the ocean environment and its resources, and Hawaii’s people, from the early 

Polynesian voyagers who discovered these islands nearly two thousand years ago, to Hawaii’s present-day citizens, represent one of 

the great oceanic societies of globe; and 

‘‘Whereas, Hawaii’s future, now as in the 

past, is linked to its surrounding seas and its 

freedom to make wise use of them; and 

‘‘Whereas, the joint exercise of concurrent 

jurisdiction over these islands and atolls will 

undoubtedly devolve to great benefit to the 

strategic interests of both the State of Hawaii and the United States of America; and 

‘‘Whereas, the Omnibus Territories Act, 

H.R. 602, grants the Governor of the State of 

Hawaii authority to accept or refuse jurisdiction over these areas, with no time limitation imposed on this decision: Now, therefore, be it 

‘‘Resolved by the Senate of the Eighteenth 

Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular 

Session of 1995, that the United States Congress is respectfully urged to enact H.R. 602 

as it pertains to allowing Hawaii to assume 

jurisdiction over these islands and atolls; 

and, be it further 

‘‘Resolved, That certified copies of this Resolution be transmitted to Hawaii’s Congressional Delegation, the Speaker of the United 

States House of Representatives, and the 

President of the United States Senate.
