H. Res. 683 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 18, 2012. 
Whereas many Chinese came to the United States in the 
19th and 20th centuries, as did people from other coun-
tries, in search of the opportunity to create a better life; 
Whereas the United States ratified the Burlingame Treaty on 
October 19, 1868, which permitted the free movement of

and made China a ‘‘most favored nation’’; 
Whereas in 1878, the House of Representatives passed a res-

renegotiate the Burlingame Treaty so Congress could 
limit Chinese immigration to the United States;

United States; 
Whereas, on March 1, 1879, President Hayes vetoed the Fif-
teen Passenger Bill as being incompatible with the Bur-
lingame Treaty; 
Whereas, on May 9, 1881, the United States ratified the 
Angell Treaty, which allowed the United States to sus-
pend, but not prohibit, immigration of Chinese laborers, 
declared that ‘‘Chinese laborers who are now in the
