Honoring the life of Enrique ‘‘Kiki’’ Camarena. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MARCH 8, 2005
Mr. HUNTER submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Honoring the life of Enrique ‘‘Kiki’’ Camarena.
Whereas Enrique Camarena, a Special Agent of the Drug 
Enforcement Administration for 11 years, was abducted 
and brutally murdered by drug barons in 1985; 
Whereas Enrique Camarena dedicated his life to serving the 
law enforcement community and the nation as a whole 
and was the devoted husband of Geneva Alvarado and 
loving father of Enrique, Daniel, and Eric; 
Whereas Enrique Camarena received two Sustained Superior 
Performance Awards and a Special Achievement Award 
while serving the Drug Enforcement Administration; 
Whereas Enrique Camarena’s dedication to reducing the 
scourge of drugs eventually cost him his life;
•HRES 141 IH 
Whereas ‘‘Camarena Clubs’’ to combat drug abuse have been 
created in high schools across the nation to honor his 
memory; 
Whereas Enrique Camarena is honored each year during Na-
tional Red Ribbon Week; and 
Whereas the 20th Anniversary of Enrique Camarena’s death

fore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) mourns the loss of Enrique Camarena;

ing at both Lebanese and Syrian involvement in this ter-
rorist act’’; 
Whereas the October 19, 2005, report also asserted that 
‘‘[g]iven the infiltration of Lebanese institutions and soci-
ety by the Syrian and Lebanese intelligence services 
working in tandem, it would be difficult to envisage a 
scenario whereby such a complex assassination plot could 
have been carried out without their knowledge’’; 
Whereas on October 31, 2005, the United Nations Security 
Council adopted Resolution 1636, which expressed ex-
treme concern that ‘‘Syrian authorities have cooperated 
in form but not in substance’’ with the UNIIIC, that 
‘‘several Syrian officials tried to mislead the investigation 
by giving false or inaccurate statements’’ and that ‘‘Syr-
ia’s continued lack of cooperation with the inquiry would 
constitute a serious violation of its obligations’’; 
Whereas on December 12, 2005, the second report of the 
UNIIIC noted that ‘‘steady progress’’ has been made in 
the Lebanese portion of the investigation that ‘‘remains 
to be matched’’ in the Syrian portion of the investigation 
and recommended an extension of the UNIIIC’s inves-
tigative mandate by a ‘‘minimum period of six months’’ 
since substantive lines of enquiry are far from being com-
pleted and ‘‘given the slow pace with which the Syrian 
authorities are beginning to discharge their commitments 
to the [Security] Council’’; 
Whereas Syria’s actions to hinder the UNIIIC’s investigative 
efforts include credible reports of the arrest and threat-
ening of close relatives of at least one crucial witness, 
delay caused by procedural maneuvering, and the report 
of two witnesses that all Syrian intelligence documents 
concerning Lebanon have been burned;
