‘‘SEC. 208. CHILD CUSTODY PROTECTION. 
‘‘(a) 
RESTRICTION
ON
TEMPORARY
CUSTODY 
ORDER.—If a court renders a temporary order for custo-
dial responsibility for a child based solely on a deployment 
or anticipated deployment of a parent who is a service-
member, then the court shall require that, upon the return 
of the servicemember from deployment, the custody order 
that was in effect immediately preceding the temporary 
order shall be reinstated, unless the court finds that such 
a reinstatement is not in the best interest of the child, 
except that any such finding shall be subject to subsection 
(b). 
‘‘(b) LIMITATION ON CONSIDERATION OF MEMBER’S 
DEPLOYMENT IN DETERMINATION OF CHILD’S BEST IN-
TEREST.—If a motion or a petition is filed seeking a per-
manent order to modify the custody of the child of a serv-
icemember, no court may consider the absence of the serv-
icemember by reason of deployment, or the possibility of 
deployment, as the sole factor in determining the best in-
terest of the child. 
‘‘(c) NO FEDERAL JURISDICTION OR RIGHT OF AC-
TION OR REMOVAL.—Nothing in this section shall create 
a Federal right of action or otherwise give rise to Federal 
jurisdiction or create a right of removal.

1ST SESSION
H. RES. 50
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that in light of current
economic conditions the Federal taxes on gasoline, diesel fuel, and home
heating fuel shall not be increased.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 26, 1993
Mr. SOLOMON submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
in light of current economic conditions the Federal taxes
on gasoline, diesel fuel, and home heating fuel shall
not be increased.
Whereas many sectors of the Nation’s economy have yet to
recover from the recent economic downturn;
Whereas an energy tax increase would reduce personal con-
sumption, considered to be the engine of the American
economy, and an increase in gasoline, diesel fuel, and
home heating fuel taxes would seriously hinder economic
recovery;
Whereas an increase in the Federal excise tax on gasoline by
10 cents per gallon would further damage the economy
in that such tax would increase the Consumer Price
•HRES 50 IH
Index by 0.3 percent, and place an undue hardship on
senior citizens, and low income Americans living on a
fixed income.
Whereas Federal, State, and local taxes account for nearly 30
percent of the retail price of gasoline;
Whereas all States already tax gasoline and 20 States in the
last 2 years have increased, or have considered increas-
ing, their taxes on gasoline; and
Whereas an energy tax, including the gasoline, diesel fuel,
and home heating fuel taxes, are regressive in that less
affluent Americans must spend a greater proportion of
their income to pay those taxes than do more affluent
Americans: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that in light of the current economic condi-
tions the Federal taxes on gasoline, diesel fuel, and home
heating fuel shall not be increased.
