Whereas this memorial will afford Americans of all descents

Whereas the Commission adopted conservation and manage-
ment recommendations in 1974 to ensure the recovery
and sustainability of Atlantic bluefin tuna throughout the
Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea;
Whereas, in 1981, the Commission adopted a management
strategy for Atlantic bluefin tuna predicated on a hypoth-
esis that two stocks of the fish existed; a western stock
found in the Atlantic west of 45 degrees west longitude
(hereafter referred to as the 45 degree line), and an east-
ern stock found in the Atlantic Ocean east of the 45 de-
gree line and in the Mediterranean Sea;
Whereas, since 1981, the Commission has adopted additional,
more restrictive conservation and management rec-
ommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna for countries that
harvest bluefin tuna west of the 45 degree line, including
a 25 percent quota reduction since 1991 with an addi-
tional 40 percent quota reduction scheduled for 1995;
Whereas the United States and other Commission members
that harvest bluefin tuna west of the 45 degree line have
implemented all conservation and management rec-
ommendations adopted by the Commission for Atlantic
bluefin tuna west of the 45 degree line;
Whereas many other Commission members do not comply
with the conservation and management recommendations
adopted by the Commission for Atlantic bluefin tuna east
of the 45 degree line;
Whereas a recent National Academy of Sciences (NAS) re-
view of the scientific data used by the Commission con-
cluded that the available data is consistent with a one

Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President should not have
granted diplomatic recognition to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Mac-
edonia.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 23, 1994
Ms. SNOWE (for herself, Mr. GILMAN, Mr. BILIRAKIS, Mr. ANDREWS of New
Jersey, Mrs. MALONEY, and Mr. DEUTSCH) submitted the following con-
current resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President
should not have granted diplomatic recognition to the
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Whereas the United States has strong and enduring eco-
nomic, political, and strategic ties with the Hellenic Re-
public of Greece;
Whereas Greece has been a strategic ally of the United States
in the Eastern Mediterranean during every major conflict
in this century;
Whereas historical and archaeological evidence demonstrates
that the ancient Macedonians were Greek;
Whereas Macedonia is a Greek name that has designated the
northern area of Greece for over 2,000 years;
•HCON 210 IH
Whereas in 1944, the United States opposed the changing of
the name of the Skopje region of Yugoslavia by Marshall
Tito from Vardar Banovina to Macedonia as part of a
campaign to gain control of the Greek province of Mac-
edonia, and the major port city of Salonika;
Whereas the regime in Skopje has persisted in inflaming ten-
sions between it and Greece through a sustained propa-
ganda campaign and the continued use of an ancient
Greek symbol, the Star of Vergina, in its flag;
Whereas the Skopje regime has refused to remove paragraph
49 from its constitution, a reference to the 1944 declara-
tion by the then communist regime calling for the ‘‘unifi-
cation’’ of neighboring territories in Greece and Bulgaria
with the ‘‘Macedonian Republic’’;
Whereas Greece has no claim on the territory of the former
Yugoslav republic of Macedonia and has repeatedly
reaffirmed the inviolability of all borders in the area of
the 2 countries; and
Whereas it is in the best interest of the United States to op-
pose any expansionist or irredentist policies in order to
promote peace and stability in the area: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the President should not have extended dip-
lomatic recognition to the Skopje regime that insists
on using the Greek name of Macedonia; and
(2) the President should reconsider this deci-
sion and withdraw diplomatic recognition until such
•HCON 210 IH
time as the Skopje regime renounces its use of the
name Macedonia, removes objectionable language in
paragraph 49 of its constitution, removes symbols
which imply territorial expansion such as the Star of
Vergina in its flag, ceases propaganda against
Greece, and adheres fully to Conference on Security
and Cooperation in Europe norms and principles.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 28, 1994
Mr. CLINGER (for himself and Mr. RAHALL) submitted the following concur-
rent resolution; which was referred jointly to the Committees on Energy
and Commerce and Public Works and Transportation
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that telephone direc-
tories within the eastern and midwestern United States
should include information relating to natural disaster
survival techniques.
Whereas geoscientists believe that there is a high probability
of a major earthquake occurring in the eastern or mid-
western United States by the year 2015;
Whereas information relating to natural disaster survival
techniques, particularly information concerning earth-
quake survival, should be provided to people living in the
eastern and midwestern United States in a form that is
easy to understand and readily accessible;
•HCON 213 IH
Whereas the telephone directory is one of the most widely dis-
tributed and accessible public reference sources;
Whereas natural disaster survival information published in
telephone directories has been a feature of earthquake
preparedness plans in the earthquake prone areas of the
western United States since the early 1980’s; and
Whereas existence of natural disaster survival information in
a telephone directory would serve as the basis for inform-
ing a community how to prepare and respond to a natu-
ral disaster: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) local telephone directories for areas within
the eastern and midwestern United States should in-
clude a survival guide relating to natural disasters,
such as earthquakes, which provides information
concerning both recommended precautionary meas-
ures and survival techniques in a manner similar to
telephone directories published in the western United
States;
(2) such a survival guide should also include in-
formation relating to those natural disasters that are
common to the primary area served by the directory,
such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods;
(3) such survival guides should include the
names, addresses, and telephone numbers of Fed-
eral, State, and local organizations through which
•HCON 213 IH
the public can obtain additional, authoritative infor-
mation concerning both recommended precautionary
measures and survival techniques; and
(4) disaster management agencies at the Fed-
eral, State, and local levels should—
(A) assist in preparing and updating the
survival guide information, and in identifying
additional, authoritative sources of information
within their organizations or other agencies,
(B) establish effective mechanisms, such as
hotlines, to respond quickly to citizens’ inquiries
for additional information when a natural disas-
ter is imminent or has occurred, and
(C) make periodic distribution to the pub-
lic of the information referred to in subpara-
graph (A).
