ant to this concurrent resolution by its Majority Leader

ceived a message from the Senate transmitting its concur-
rence in the conference report to accompany H.R. 3194,

or until noon on the second day after Members are notified

HCON 235 RDS
from Thursday, November 18, 1999, through Thursday,
December 2, 1999, on a motion offered pursuant to this
concurrent resolution by its Majority Leader or his des-
ignee, it shall stand adjourned sine die, or until noon on
the second day after Members are notified to reassemble
pursuant to section 3 of this concurrent resolution.
SEC. 2. When the House convenes for the second ses-
sion of the One Hundred Sixth Congress, it shall conduct
no organizational or legislative business on that day and,
when the House adjourns on that day, it shall stand ad-
journed until noon on January 27, 2000, or until noon
on the second day after Members are notified to reassem-
ble pursuant to section 3 of this concurrent resolution.
SEC. 3. The Speaker of the House and the Majority
Leader of the Senate, acting jointly after consultation with
the Minority Leader of the House and the Minority Lead-
er of the Senate, shall notify the Members of the House
and Senate, respectively, to reassemble whenever, in their
opinion, the public interest shall warrant it.
SEC. 4. The Congress declares that clause 2(h) of
rule II of the Rules of the House of Representatives and

funds, which include approximately 1,500 tribal accounts
worth approximately $2,600,000,000 and approximately
390,000 individual Indian money accounts worth approxi-
mately $453,000,000;
Whereas each year another $1,000,000,000 passes through
these accounts;
Whereas the General Allotment Act of 1887 divided up much
Indian land and transferred tribal land to individual Indi-
ans; as this land is passed down to heirs single allotments
can include dozens of owners and the Bureau of Indian
Affairs must keep accounts for each owner regardless of
the balance of the owner’s account;
Whereas trust fund accounts are comprised primarily of
money received through the sale or lease of trust lands,
and include timber stumpage, oil and gas royalties, and
agriculture fees;
Whereas accounts containing judgment funds awarded to
tribes are also maintained by the Bureau of Indian Af-
fairs;
Whereas the management of Indian trust funds affects al-
most every agency within the Department of the Interior;
Whereas much has been written about improper management
of funds in general within the Bureau of Indian Affairs;
since its inception as part of the United States War De-
partment in 1824;
Whereas over the years, numerous audits and reports on In-
dian trust funds have been published by the Inspector
General of the Department of the Interior, the General
Accounting Office, the Office of Management and Budg-
et, and congressional committees detailing mismanage-
ment of funds;

dent during periods when the House and Senate are not
in session, and thereby preserve until adjournment sine
die of the final regular session of the One Hundred Sixth
Congress the constitutional prerogative of the House and
Senate to reconsider vetoed measures in light of the objec-
tions of the President, since the availability of the Clerk
and the Secretary during any earlier adjournment of ei-
ther House during the current Congress does not prevent
the return by the President of any bill presented to him
for approval.
SEC. 5. The Clerk of the House of Representatives
shall inform the President of the United States of the
adoption of this concurrent resolution.

H. CON. RES. 240
Expressing the sense of Congress that Elia´n Gonza´lez should be reunited
with his father, Juan Gonza´lez of Cuba.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 24, 2000
Mr. RANGEL (for himself, Mr. LAHOOD, Mr. SERRANO, Mr. MCDERMOTT,
Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California, Mr. MCGOVERN, Ms. LEE, Mr.
FRANK of Massachusetts, Mr. HINCHEY, Mr. MEEKS of New York, and
Mr. MOAKLEY) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that Elia´n Gonza´lez should
be reunited with his father, Juan Gonza´lez of Cuba.
Whereas Elia´n Gonza´lez, a 6-year-old citizen of Cuba, lost his
mother in a tragic boat accident and floated alone for
days in treacherous conditions off the coast of Florida;
Whereas Elia´n Gonza´lez was found November 25, 1999, alive
but physically and emotionally drained, brought ashore
and examined at a hospital, and released temporarily by
the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) into
the care of his great-uncle and cousins in the Miami area
while it evaluated his case;
Whereas the natural father and sole surviving parent of Elia´n
Gonza´lez, Juan Gonza´lez of Cuba, has repeatedly re-
258
HR 1000 EAS
(C) the effect on consumers of the declining
financial condition of travel agents in the
United States; and
(D) the impediments imposed by the airline
industry on distributors of the industry’s prod-
ucts and services, including travel agents and
Internet-based distributors.
(2) POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS.—Based on the
results of the study described in paragraph (1), the
Commission shall recommend to the President and
Congress policies necessary to—
(A) ensure full consumer access to complete
information concerning airline fares, routes, and
other services;
(B) ensure that the means of distributing
the products and services of the airline industry,
and of disseminating information about such
products and services, is adequate to ensure that
competitive information is available in the mar-
ketplace;
(C) ensure that distributors of the products
and services of the airline industry have ade-
quate relief from illegal, anticompetitive prac-
tices that occur in the marketplace; and
•HCON 240 IH
quested that the United States Government return his
son to him immediately;
Whereas the President rightly determined that the fate of
Elia´n Gonza´lez should be determined by United States
statutes and regulations related to immigration cases in-
volving children;
Whereas the INS, after interviewing Juan Gonza´lez twice in
Cuba and carefully reviewing all relevant laws, rules, and
evidence, correctly determined on January 5, 2000, that
Juan Gonza´lez is a caring and involved father, that Elia´n
Gonza´lez faces no credible threat of political persecution
if returned to his father, and as a result, that Juan
Gonza´lez possesses the sole authority of speaking for
Elia´n Gonza´lez regarding his son’s immigration status in
the United States under Federal immigration law and
universally accepted legal norms;
Whereas the INS resolved to return Elia´n to Cuba by Janu-
ary 14, 2000, to live with his father Juan Gonza´lez, in
accordance with his father’s request;
Whereas on January 12, 2000, the Attorney General fully
supported the INS ruling, reaffirmed INS jurisdiction
over the matter, and said that a decision by a Florida
State court judge granting temporary custody of Elia´n
Gonza´lez to his relatives in Miami, establishing a March
6, 2000, date for a hearing on permanent custody, and
calling for the father’s presence at that hearing had no
force and effect;
Whereas only the Federal courts have the jurisdiction to re-
view the Attorney General’s decision;
Whereas what Elia´n Gonza´lez needs most at this time is to
be with the father and both set of grandparents who
•HCON 240 IH
raised him so that he can begin the process of grieving
for his mother, in peace;
Whereas despite the existence of important political disagree-
ments between the Governments of the United States and
Cuba, these differences should not interfere with the
right to privacy of a 6-year-old child or his sacred bond
with his father; and
Whereas any unusual or inappropriate changes to immigra-
tion law made by Congress to naturalize a minor without
the parents’ consent would have the effect of encouraging
parents in other nations to risk the lives of their children
under the false hope that they might receive special treat-
ment outside standard channels for legal immigration:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) Congress should not interfere with normal
immigration proceedings by taking any unusual or
inappropriate legislative measures designed to delay
the reunification of Elia´n and Juan Gonza´lez; and
(2) the Immigration and Naturalization Service
should proceed with its original decision to return
Elia´n Gonza´lez to his father, Juan Gonza´lez, in
Cuba and take all necessary steps to reunify Elia´n
Gonza´lez with his father as soon as possible.
