2D SESSION
H. RES. 541
To express the sense of the House of Representatives concerning violence
on television.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEPTEMBER 26, 1996
Mr. CASTLE (for himself, Mr. WOLF, Mr. GILCHREST, Mr. GREENWOOD, Mr.
GILMAN, Mr. SOLOMON, Mr. INGLIS of South Carolina, Mr. WICKER, Mr.
LIPINSKI, Mr. DURBIN, Mr. MCKEON, Mr. HEINEMAN, Ms. LOFGREN,
Mrs. MYRICK, and Mr. PORTMAN) introduced the following resolution;
which was referred to the Committee on Commerce
RESOLUTION
To express the sense of the House of Representatives
concerning violence on television.
Resolved,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The House of Representatives finds as follows:
(1) Children are exposed to significant amounts
of violence on television:
(A) The average American child spends 28
hours per week watching television.
(B) The American Psychological Associa-
tion found that the average child views up to
•HRES 541 IH
8,000 made-for-TV murders and 100,000 acts
of violence by the end of grade school.
(C) The Center for Media and Public Af-
fairs found a 41 percent increase in television
violence between 1992 and 1994.
(D) The recent 1994–1995 National Tele-
vision Violence Study completed by Mediascope
found that among programs that contain vio-
lence, only 15 percent are preceded with an ad-
visory or any sort of content code, 73 percent
of perpetrators go unpunished in violent scenes,
and 1 out of 4 violent interactions on television
involve the use of a handgun.
(E) Since 1955, television characters have
been murdered at a rate 1,000 times higher
than real-world victims.
(2) Viewing violence harms children:
(A) Three national studies—the Surgeon
General’s Commission report (1972), the Na-
tional Institute of Mental Health 10-year fol-
lowup (1982), and the report of the American
Psychological 
Association’s 
Committee 
on
Media in Society (1992)—reviewed hundreds of
studies to arrive at the irrefutable conclusion
•HRES 541 IH
that when children view violence their behavior
becomes increasingly violent.
(B) Studies have found that children ex-
posed to substantial media violence can experi-
ence other ill effects including desensitization
and apathy toward violence, distrust of others,
and an exaggerated sense of fear and paranoia
of being a victim of violence.
(3) Even the most vigilant and concerned par-
ents will not be able to monitor their children’s tele-
vision viewing habits at all times.
(4) The commitment of broadcasters is nec-
essary to address the level of violence viewed by chil-
dren and its harmful effect on them.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
(1) national broadcast television networks
should not air violent video programming between
the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., the hours when
children are reasonably likely to comprise a substan-
tial portion of the audience; and
(2) legitimate news programs, documentaries,
educational programs, and sporting events should
•HRES 541 IH
not contain violence in excess of what is needed to
convey the information intended during these hours.

H. RES. 543
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States
and the United Nations should support the election of a woman for
Secretary General of the United Nations.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEPTEMBER 26, 1996
Mrs. SCHROEDER (for herself and Mrs. MALONEY) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the United States and the United Nations should support
the election of a woman for Secretary General of the
United Nations.
Whereas, in 1996, only 35.1 percent of the staff of the Sec-
retary General of the United Nations were women;
Whereas, in 1996, only 2 of the 36 Under Secretaries and
Assistant Secretaries General of the United Nations were
women;
Whereas, in 1996, the Secretary General of the United Na-
tions did not attend the United Nations’ Fourth World
Conference on Women;
Whereas the United Nations’ Fourth World Conference on
Women found that ‘‘the United Nations is continuing to
•HRES 543 IH
deny itself the benefits of women’s leadership by their
underrepresentation at decision-making levels within the
Secretariat and the specialized agencies’’ of the United
Nations;
Whereas the United Nations’ Fourth World Conference on
Women urged the Secretary General to develop mecha-
nisms to nominate women candidates for appointment to
senior positions in the United Nations, the specialized
agencies, and other organizations within the United Na-
tions;
Whereas the position of Secretary General is the most senior
position in the United Nations;
Whereas there are women who are qualified to serve as Sec-
retary General of the United Nations; and
Whereas, as a permanent member of the United Nations, the
United States has the opportunity to approve candidates
for Secretary General of the United Nations: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the United Nations and the United States
should work with international organizations and
foreign governments to identify qualified women can-
didates for Secretary General of the United Nations;
and
(2) in accordance with the ‘‘platform for ac-
tion’’ of the United Nations’ Fourth World Con-
•HRES 543 IH
ference on Women, the United Nations and the
United States should support—
(A) the nomination and appointment of quali-
fied women to senior positions in the United Na-
tions, the specialized agencies, and other organiza-
tions within the United Nations; and
(B) the nomination and election of qualified
women for Secretary General of the United Nations.
