H. CON. RES. 302
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Whereas there is an epidemic of children in crisis in the
United States caused by the increased stresses on chil-
dren from contemporary society, which can even include
instances of child abuse and neglect;
Whereas newspaper headlines, news reports, and various
studies provide evidence that children are more frequently
committing acts of violence, taking illegal drugs, and
•HCON 302 EH
committing suicide, indicating that the future of the chil-
dren of the United States, and therefore the future of the
Nation, is at risk;
Whereas all families in the United States, regardless of their
economic status, ethnic or cultural heritage, or geo-
graphic location, are experiencing the pressures caused by
contemporary society while trying to raise and nurture
their children;
Whereas it is imperative that the people of the United States
act boldly to secure the future of the Nation by halting
and healing the pain of children in crisis;
Whereas KidsPeace is the oldest, most successful, and most
comprehensive not-for-profit organization dedicated solely
to helping children attain the confidence and develop the
courage necessary to confront and overcome crises;
Whereas KidsPeace has more than 1,500 caregivers helping
more than 2,000 children each day in 25 locations across
the United States;
Whereas KidsPeace established National KidsDay and Na-
tional Family Month to recognize and focus attention on
relationships between parents and children;
Whereas National KidsDay is celebrated on the third Satur-
day of September, during the period when children are
returning to school, when children are subject to a very
high level of stress, and when there is a critical need for
children to feel honored, valued, supported, and loved;
Whereas National Family Month is celebrated during the
five-week period between Mother’s Day in May and Fa-
ther’s Day in June, which is a critical adjustment period
for families to prepare for children to return to the home
at the end of the school year and can provide a wonderful
•HCON 302 EH
opportunity for families to prepare to use their time to-
gether during the summer to grow and strengthen as a
family unit; and
Whereas these celebrations can provide opportunities for par-
ents, grandparents, and caregivers to recognize the im-
portance of being involved in the physical and emotional
lives of their children: Now, therefore be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) recognizes the importance of children and
families to the future of the United States;
(2) expresses support for the goals of National
KidsDay and National Family Month, as established
by KidsPeace; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States
to participate in local and national activities and
celebrations recognizing National KidsDay and Na-
tional Family Month.

Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President should declare

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President
should declare Kneeling Nun Mountain in Grant County,
New Mexico, to be a national monument, and for other
purposes.
Whereas Kneeling Nun Mountain is one of southwest New
Mexico’s most identifiable landmarks with a distinctive
profile that can be seen for miles;
Whereas Kneeling Nun Mountain is and has been a culturally
significant source of centuries-old legends and beliefs
among Native Americans, Hispanics, and other residents
of the area;

genocide;
(2) the United States should make collection of
information that can be supplied to the Tribunal for
use as evidence to support an indictment and trial
of President Slobodan Milosevic for war crimes,
crimes against humanity, and genocide a high prior-
ity;
(3) any such information concerning President
Slobodan Milosevic already collected by the United
States should be provided to the Tribunal as soon as
possible;
(4) the United States should provide a fair
share of any additional financial or personnel re-
sources that may be required by the Tribunal in
order to enable the Tribunal to adequately address
preparation for, indictment of, prosecution of, and
adjudication of allegations of war crimes and crimes
against humanity posed against President Slobodan
Milosevic and any other person arising from the con-
flict in the former Yugoslavia, including in Kosovo;
(5) the United States should engage with other
members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
and other interested states in a discussion of infor-

Whereas the National Congress of American Indians adopted
a resolution describing Kneeling Nun Mountain as ‘‘sa-
cred to the native Indian population of southwestern New
Mexico for many centuries’’ and calling for its permanent
protection as ‘‘a national monument dedicated to preserv-
ing the history and cultural heritage of the great
Mimbres and Mogollon cultures’’;
Whereas part of Kneeling Nun Mountain is owned by the
Federal Government and is managed by the Bureau of
Land Management of the Department of the Interior;
Whereas Kneeling Nun Mountain is threatened environ-
mentally by the plans of the Phelps Dodge Corporation
to expand mining activities in the area;
Whereas the environmental threat to Kneeling Nun Mountain
from mining activity would be intensified by a land trade
being contemplated by the Phelps Dodge Corporation and
the Bureau of Land Management;
Whereas expanding mining activities on and around Kneeling
Nun Mountain will not significantly add to the ore re-
serves of the Phelps Dodge Corporation or provide a sig-
nificant number of jobs for residents of communities near
the mountain; and
Whereas thousands of citizens of southwest New Mexico have
joined with representatives of various community groups
in signing a petition urging that Kneeling Nun Mountain
be declared a national monument: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) Kneeling Nun Mountain in Grant County,
New Mexico, is historically and culturally significant;
•HCON 303 IH
(2) the President should declare the Federal
land on and around Kneeling Nun Mountain to be
a national monument in accordance with section 2 of
the Act entitled ‘‘An Act for the preservation of
American antiquities’’, enacted June 8, 1906 (16
U.S.C. 431; commonly known as the Antiquities Act
of 1906); and
(3) until such time as the President acts as de-
scribed in paragraph (2), the Secretary of the Inte-

land on and around Kneeling Nun Mountain from
private encroachment and environmental damage.

posed against President Slobodan Milosevic and any

the Tribunal;
(6) the United States should engage with other

and other interested states in a discussion of meas-
ures to be taken to apprehend indicted war criminals
and persons indicted for crimes against humanity
with the objective of concluding a plan of action that
will result in these indictees’ prompt delivery into

Kosovo, that have had the effect of genocide, of
