Whereas in 1991, Bangladesh demonstrated to the world its
commitment to secular democracy by holding free and

Whereas, despite demographic challenges, and despite the dif-

veloping nation, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh has
undertaken bold economic reforms which have created
great opportunities for the people of Bangladesh, and for

Regarding recognition of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 27, 1995
Mr. SCARBOROUGH introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Regarding recognition of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Whereas the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has failed to give
a full accounting of the United States personnel who re-
main not accounted for as a result of service in the
Armed Forces or other Federal Government service dur-
ing the Vietnam era and has failed to adequately work
with the United States in determining their whereabouts
and condition;
Whereas the Hanoi government continues to remain a brutal
totalitarian communist regime dedicated to oppressing its
people and routinely giving to flaunting all standards of
international law and morality;
Whereas the people of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam are
entitled to live in a free and open society and deserve the
•HCON 88 IH
backing of the American people and Government in their
quest for liberty;
Whereas there live in the United States today several thou-
sand refugees of the Hanoi regime who fled to these
shores to build a better life for themselves and their fam-
ilies until such time as they would be free to return to
their homes in a land both free and prosperous;
Whereas the United States must continue to stand for just
and open regimes in all parts of the world, especially in
those parts where it has been actively engaged; and
Whereas the United States must remain true to the memory
of the men and women who served in the Vietnam con-
flict and must therefore refuse to recognize the Hanoi
government which was responsible for the death of over
50,000 Americans: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
recent decision of President Clinton to recognize the Gov-
ernment of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam was in viola-
tion of the principles of the United States, and that he
should revoke such recognition until such time as the
Hanoi regime fully cooperates in determining the status
of all personnel who remain not accounted for as a result
of service in the Armed Forces or other Federal Govern-
ment service during the Vietnam era and adopts a free
and democratic government that respects human rights
and observes internationally recognized norms of behavior.
