RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
schools should educate children about and organize com-

Americans in American history and culture, and that
there should be a paid holiday in honor of Native Ameri-
cans for all Federal, State, and local government

Whereas the United States owes a debt to Native Americans
that was created by the near extermination of their race;
Whereas the United States should make amends for the un-
speakable harm it has done to a proud and noble people
by recognizing and honoring Native Americans;
•HRES 190 IH
Whereas it is time for the United States to heal the wounds
created by a history of distrust and genocide;
Whereas Native Americans have shown their willingness to
fight and die for this Nation in foreign lands;
Whereas an emphasis on freedom, justice, patriotism, and
representative government has always been an element of
Native American culture;
Whereas it is important to empower Native Americans and
give them the resources to be self-sufficient;
Whereas Native American reservations have an average pov-
erty rate of 31 percent and unemployment rates that are
approximately 6 times the national average;
Whereas the self-reliance of Native Americans has begun to
lift Native Americans from poverty and has provided for
food, clothing, medical clinics, and the upgrading of sub-
standard housing;
Whereas the United States must further the cause of justice
by educating and sensitizing the people of the United
States about Native Americans;
Whereas the United States must recognize the contributions
Native Americans have made to the United States, in-

Whereas on October 7, 2000, Hezbollah forces illegally
crossed the Israeli border with Lebanon and kidnapped
3 Israli Defense Force soldiers, Adi Avitan, Binyamin
Avraham, and Omar Souad;
Whereas 9 months after the kidnapping, Hezbollah released
no information as to the whereabouts and conditions of
these soldiers;
Whereas the events leading up to, surrounding, and imme-
diately following the kidnapping remain unknown;
Whereas after long denial the United Nations admitted to
possession of a videotape that contains images which
could provide material evidence for the investigation into
the incident on October 7, 2000;
Whereas this videotape would help to assess the conditions of
the soldiers and assist in the investigation to determine
the identities of the kidnappers and their methods; and
Whereas to date the United Nations is reluctant to transfer
an uncensored form of the videotape to Israeli Govern-
ment authorities investigating this incident: Now, there-
fore, be it
