referred to the Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Supporting the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia and expressing the sense of the House
of Representatives that war criminals from the conflict
among republics of the former Yugoslavia should be
brought to justice.
Whereas the world community should not tolerate crimes
against humanity or any other serious violations of inter-
national humanitarian law;
Whereas war criminals who were responsible for the most
horrendous crimes against humanity that the world has
ever witnessed were brought to justice with trials in Nur-
emberg, Germany;
•HRES 282 IH
Whereas the world community has recently witnessed geno-
cide, systematic mass killings, ethic cleansing, concentra-
tion camps, forced movement of people, violations of the
laws or customs of war, and many other crimes against
humanity;
Whereas there is no place in the world community for persons
who perpetrate, order, or condone crimes against human-
ity, or provide refuge for persons who commit crimes
against humanity;
Whereas swift and effective justice is the only acceptable ac-
tion for, and the most effective deterrent against, the re-
currence of crimes against humanity; and
Whereas justice is the only foundation for a lasting peace:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the perpetrators of crimes against humanity
and violations of the laws or customs of war in the
conflict among republics of the former Yugoslavia
and persons in positions of authority in the republics
of the former Yugoslavia who are responsible for
crimes against humanity should be condemned;
(2) persons who are indicted by the Inter-
national Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugo-
slavia should not occupy positions of authority in
any government or entity in the republics of the
former Yugoslavia;
•HRES 282 IH
(3) the United States should insist upon the
full cooperation of the republics of the former Yugo-
slavia in bringing indicted individuals to justice;
(4) future support for the reintegration of the
republics of the former Yugoslavia into the inter-
national community should be dependent on their
full cooperation and support of the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia;
(5) investigators for the International Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia should be given
full access to all sites, witnesses, and evidence of al-
leged and suspected war crimes; and
(6) the United States should oppose amnesty
for any indicted war criminals from the conflict
among republics of the former Yugoslavia.

Whereas the Secretary of Energy has misused Federal funds
and abused her position by spending $46,500 of taxpayer

cover the Department of Energy and by compiling a list
of press reporters and Members of Congress who have
made ‘‘unfavorable’’ comments about the Secretary and
the Department;

Whereas the Secretary has improperly employed a private

taxpayer expense; and
Whereas by these actions the Secretary has forfeited her
right to public office: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the President should immediately ask for,
and accept, the resignation of the Secretary of En-
ergy; and
(2) Secretary O’Leary should reimburse the
Federal Government from her personal funds for ex-
penditures made to improperly monitor the press,
for compiling a list of those individuals who have
made unfavorable comments about her and the De-
partment, and to improve the personal image of the
Secretary.

To recognize and celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus
Boycott.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 29, 1995
Mr. HILLIARD submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Government Reform and Oversight
RESOLUTION
To recognize and celebrate the 40th anniversary of the
Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Whereas, in the 1950’s, racial segregation was a pervasive
and integral part of life in the South, and the city buses
in Montgomery, Alabama, were a microcosm of the seg-
regated society of the South;
Whereas, during this time, African-American bus passengers
in Montgomery, Alabama, were required to sit in the rear
of the bus, to give up seats to white passengers and, after
paying their fare at the front of the bus, to exit and re-
enter the bus through the back door;
Whereas, during this time, more than 75 percent of all of the
bus passengers in Montgomery were African-American;
•HRES 285 IH
Whereas, during this time, African-Americans in Montgomery
knew that protesting their unequal treatment could cause
them to become victims of economic boycotts, violence, or
other forms of intentional misconduct;
Whereas, on December 1, 1995, Mrs. Rosa Parks refused to
move from her seat to the rear of the bus, knowing that
this refusal placed her job and her life in jeopardy;
Whereas from Mrs. Parks’ refusal to move to the back of the
bus was born the Montgomery Bus Boycott;
Whereas Mrs. Parks’ dignified refusal to act within the con-
fines of an unjust system ignited a spark that spread
throughout Montgomery, the South, the United States,
and the world;
Whereas the Montgomery Bus Boycott represents the first
full-scale, extended effort by African-Americans to suc-
cessfully challenge discrimination and segregation; and
Whereas, on November 13, 1956, almost 1 year after Rosa
Parks refused to move to the back of the bus, the United
States Supreme Court outlawed racial segregation on
buses: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes and celebrates the 40th anniver-
sary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott; and
(2) recognizes the Montgomery Bus Boycott as
an extraordinary historical event born out of the
courage of ordinary men and women in Montgomery,
Alabama, and as the catalyst of the American civil
rights movement, the purpose of which was to en-
