108TH CONGRESS 
2D SESSION 
H. RES. 873 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the terms of 
the Commissioners of the United States Commission on Civil Rights 
are staggered, beginning and ending upon the expiration date of the 
vacant position, and that Commissioners appointed to fill unexpired terms 
should serve only until the expiration date of the term for which they 
were appointed to finish, but may be eligible to be appointed to a 
new, subsequent term. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
DECEMBER 7, 2004 
Mr. CHABOT submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the terms of the Commissioners of the United States 
Commission on Civil Rights are staggered, beginning and 
ending upon the expiration date of the vacant position, 
and that Commissioners appointed to fill unexpired terms 
should serve only until the expiration date of the term 
for which they were appointed to finish, but may be 
eligible to be appointed to a new, subsequent term. 
Whereas in 1957, the Commission on Civil Rights was cre-
ated as an independent and autonomous agency to mon-
itor civil rights in the United States;
•HRES 873 IH 
Whereas in 1983, Congress reconstituted the Commission on 
Civil Rights with the specific intent of creating staggered 
terms for the Commissioners appointed by the President, 
Speaker of the House, and President pro tempore of the 
Senate; 
Whereas when Congress reauthorized the Commission on 
Civil Rights in 1994, it chose not to disrupt the stag-
gered terms established in 1983 Act; 
Whereas since 1983, Commissioners have not served their 
terms in a manner consistent with Congressional intent, 
necessitating the involvement of the Federal courts to 
reach a legal conclusion on this matter; and 
Whereas the Federal Court of Appeals found in 2002 in 
United States v. Wilson that Congress intended to main-
tain the well-established practice of having commissioners 
for staggered terms: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the staggered terms of the Commis-
sioners established by Congress were intended to carry 
with the calendar year, not the individual, to preserve the 
independence and autonomy of the United States Commis-
sion on Civil Rights.

DECEMBER 7, 2004 
Ms. KAPTUR (for herself, Mr. ROHRABACHER, and Mr. LEVIN) submitted the

national Relations 
RESOLUTION 
Supporting the establishment and full funding of a staff 
exchange program between the House of Representatives 
and the Parliament of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada, 
as soon as possible. 
Whereas supporters of democracy worldwide recognize the 
valor of the people of Ukraine in seeking to advance 
democratic governance in their country; 
Whereas the role of the Parliament of Ukraine, the 
Verkhovna Rada, is essential to ensuring democratic gov-
ernance and a balance of power among the branches of 
the Government of Ukraine;
•HRES 874 IH 
Whereas the people of the United States affirm the positive 
role being played by the Parliament of Ukraine in avert-
ing a constitutional crisis in that transitional republic; 
Whereas on November 30, 1999, the Speaker of the House 
of Representatives signed an agreement with the leaders 
of the Parliament of Ukraine to establish an inter-
parliamentary exchange program between the two legisla-
tive bodies; 
Whereas Members of the House of Representatives and the 
Parliament of Ukraine have already participated in video 
teleconferences as part of this agreement; and 
Whereas the House of Representatives has commended these 
historic efforts and expressed its desire and willingness to 
build on the success of this agreement: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the establishment and full funding of a staff exchange pro-
gram between the House of Representatives and the Par-
liament of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada, as soon as pos-
sible.
