Congratulating Ukraine on the tenth anniversary of re-establishment of its
independence.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 27, 2001
Mr. SCHAFFER (for himself and Ms. KAPTUR) submitted the following concur-
rent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International Re-
lations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Congratulating Ukraine on the tenth anniversary of re-
establishment of its independence.
Whereas the proclamation on August 24, 1991 of the inde-
pendence of Ukraine led to the disintegration of the So-
viet Union;
Whereas Ukraine and the United States, proceeding from
their shared commitment to democratic values, have ex-
pressed their determination to build broad and durable
relations in the 1994 Charter for Ukrainian-American
Partnership, Friendship and Cooperation and Ukraine is
a country that maintains a distinctive partnership with
NATO since 1997;
Whereas on June 28, 1996, Ukraine’s Parliament voted to
adopt the democratic Constitution and Ukraine has con-
HCON 203 IH
ducted its presidential and parliamentary elections ac-
cording to it, moving further away from the former com-
munist model of one-party totalitarian rule; and
Whereas Ukraine since its independence has successfully
transferred from a colony of the Soviet empire into a via-
ble, peaceful state, which established exemplary relations
with all, neighboring countries and consistently pursues a
course of European integration with a commitment to en-
suring democracy and prosperity for its citizens: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—
(1) as a leader of the democratic nations of the
world, the United States commends and congratu-
lates the people of Ukraine on the tenth anniversary
of Ukrainian independence;
(2) the President and Parliament of Ukraine
should continue their efforts to maintain the balance
of powers between the executive and legislative
branches of government and ensure that their co-
operation is aimed at furthering democratic reforms
and strengthening civil society based on the rule of
law; and
(3) the United States should continue to assist
in building a truly independent Ukraine through en-
couraging and supporting democratic and market-
economy transformations in Ukraine, keeping the

following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
Education and the Workforce
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the
establishment of National Character Counts Week.
Whereas the well-being of the Nation requires that the young
people of the United States become an involved, caring
citizenry with good character;
Whereas the character education of children has become more
urgent as violence by and against youth increasingly
threatens the physical and psychological well-being of the
people of the United States;
Whereas more than ever, children need strong and construc-
tive guidance from their families and their communities,
•HCON 204 IH
including schools, youth organizations, religious institu-
tions, and civic groups;
Whereas the character of a nation is only as strong as the
character of its individual citizens;
Whereas the public good is advanced when young people are
taught the importance of good character and the positive
effects that good character can have in personal relation-
ships, in school, and in the workplace;
Whereas scholars and educators agree that people do not
automatically develop good character and that, therefore,
conscientious efforts must be made by institutions and
individuals that influence youth to help young people de-
velop the essential traits and characteristics that com-
prise good character;
Whereas, although character development is, first and fore-
most, an obligation of families, the efforts of faith com-
munities, schools, and youth, civic, and human service or-
ganizations also play an important role in fostering and
promoting good character;
Whereas Congress encourages students, teachers, parents,
youth, and community leaders to recognize the impor-
tance of character education in preparing young people to
play their role in determining the future of the Nation;
Whereas effective character education is based on core ethical
values which form the foundation of democratic society;
Whereas examples of character are trustworthiness, respect,
responsibility, fairness, caring, citizenship, and honesty;
Whereas elements of character transcend cultural, religious,
and socioeconomic differences;
Government for the specific product or service during
the previous 3 fiscal years;
‘‘(vii) the projected growth or decline in the de-
mand of the Federal Government for the specific prod-
uct or specific service;
‘‘(viii) the capability of the projected demand of
the Federal Government for the specific product or
service to sustain both Federal Prison Industries and
private vendors; and
‘‘(ix) whether authorizing the production of the
new product or performance of a new service will pro-
vide inmates with the maximum opportunity to ac-
quire knowledge and skill in trades and occupations
that will provide them with a means of earning a
livelihood upon release.
‘‘(D)(i) The board of directors may not approve a pro-
posal to authorize the production and sale of a new specific
product or continued sales of a previously authorized prod-
uct unless—
‘‘(I) the product to be furnished is a prison-made
product; or
‘‘(II) the service to be furnished is to be per-
formed by inmate workers.
‘‘(ii) The board of directors may not approve a pro-
posal to authorize the production and sale of a new prison-
•HCON 204 IH
Whereas the character and conduct of our youth reflect the
character and conduct of society; therefore, every adult
has the responsibility to teach and model ethical values
and every social institution has the responsibility to pro-
mote the development of good character;
Whereas Congress encourages individuals and organizations,
especially those who have an interest in the education
and training of the young people of the United States, to
adopt the elements of character as intrinsic to the well-
being of individuals, communities, and society;
Whereas many schools in the United States recognize the
need, and have taken steps, to integrate the values of
their communities into their teaching activities;
Whereas the establishment of National Character Counts
Week, during which individuals, families, schools, youth
organizations, religious institutions, civic groups, and
other organizations would focus on character education,
would be of great benefit to the Nation; and
Whereas the week beginning October 15, 2001, and the week
beginning October 14, 2002, are appropriate weeks to es-
tablish as National Character Counts Week: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—
(1) a National Character Counts Week should
be established to promote character education; and
(2) the President should issue a proclamation
calling upon the people of the United States to—
•HCON 204 IH
(A) embrace the elements of character
identified by their local schools and commu-
nities, such as trustworthiness, respect, respon-
sibility, fairness, caring, citizenship, and hon-

ceremonies, programs, and activities.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States
Postal Service should issue a postage stamp commemo-
rating Langston Hughes, a great American literary fig-
ure.
Whereas Langston Hughes was born in 1902 in Joplin, Mis-
souri;
Whereas literary critics consider Langston Hughes one of the
greatest American poets of the 20th century;
Whereas Langston Hughes’ innovative use of blues and jazz
rhythms to express his cultural heritage earned him rec-
ognition as the greatest African American poet;
•HCON 205 IH
Whereas in addition to poetry, Langston Hughes wrote nov-
els, short stories, plays, opera lyrics, and books for chil-
dren, and was the first African American to earn his liv-
ing solely as a writer;
Whereas Langston Hughes was the central figure of the Har-
lem Renaissance of the 1920s, during which African
American art, music, and literature first achieved na-
tional recognition;
Whereas Langston Hughes was an inspiration and mentor for
many African American writers and continues to influ-
ence writers today;
Whereas Langston Hughes became one of the most powerful
spokesmen against racism during the 20th century by
utilizing passion and humor in his writings; and
Whereas the United States Postal Service has issued postage
stamps commemorating other great American literary fig-
ures: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the United States Postal Service should
issue a postage stamp commemorating Langston
Hughes; and
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee
should recommend to the Postmaster General that
such a postage stamp be issued.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the important relationship between the United
States and Mexico.
Whereas the United States and Mexico share a special bilat-
eral friendship matched by few other countries in the
world;
Whereas the United States and Mexico are partners joined by
geography as well as by a series of government-to-govern-
ment and private relationships which are of critical im-
portance to both countries;
Whereas the United States and Mexico share concern on a
wide range of issues, including trade and immigration,
environmental quality, economic development, and re-
gional security and stability; and
•HCON 206 IH
Whereas the special relationship between the United States
and Mexico is critically important in its own right as well
as serving as a linchpin in the relationship between the
United States and every nation in Central and South
America: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that it is
in keeping with the just interests of the United States that
the special nature of the relationship between the United
States and Mexico be recognized and further cultivated to
the mutual benefit of both countries.

Mr. LARGENT (for himself and Mr. BROWN of Ohio) submitted the following
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy
and Commerce
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the important contributions of the Youth For
Life: Remembering Walter Payton initiative and encour-
aging participation in this nationwide effort to educate
young people about organ and tissue donation.
Whereas more than 76,000 men, women, and children cur-
rently await life-saving transplants;
Whereas every 14 minutes another name is added to the na-
tional transplant waiting list;
Whereas people of all ages and medical histories are potential
organ, tissue, and blood donors;
Whereas more than 2,300 of those awaiting transplants are
under the age of 18;
•HCON 207 IH
Whereas approximately 14,000 children and young adults
under the age of 18 have donated organs or tissue since
1988;
Whereas science shows that acceptance rates increase when
donors are matched to recipients by age;
Whereas organ donation is often a family decision, and shar-
ing a decision to become a donor with family members
can help to ensure a donation when an occasion arises;
Whereas nationwide there are up to 15,000 potential donors
annually, but consent from family members to donation
is received for less than 6,000;
Whereas educating young people about organ and tissue do-
nation promotes family discussions over the desire of
family members to become organ donors;
Whereas Youth for Life: Remembering Walter Payton (in
this concurrent resolution referred to as ‘‘Youth for
Life’’) is committed to educating young adults about
organ donation and encouraging students to discuss this
decision with their family and register to be organ do-
nors;
Whereas the Youth for Life effort is dedicated to football leg-
end Walter Payton, who broke the NFL career rushing
record on October 7, 1984; and
Whereas Youth For Life: Remembering Walter Payton Day
will be held on October 9, 2001: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That Congress—
(1) supports the goals and ideas of Youth For
Life; and
•HCON 207 IH
(2) encourages all young people to learn about
the importance of organ, tissue, bone marrow, and
blood donations and to discuss these donations with
their families and friends.
