IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. TALENT submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a postage stamp
should be issued to honor the 100th anniversary of the
Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America.
Whereas the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of
America, an organization of patriotic Americans dedi-
cated to highlighting the role of Jews in the United
States Armed Forces, will celebrate 100 years of patriotic
service to the Nation on March 15, 1996;
Whereas thousands of Jews have proudly served the Nation
in times of war;
Whereas thousands of Jews have died in combat while serving
in the United States Armed Forces;
Whereas, in World War II alone, Jews received more than
52,000 awards for outstanding service in the United

States Armed Forces, including the Medal of Honor, the
Air Medal, the Silver Star, and the Purple Heart;
Whereas, in World War II alone, over 11,000 Jews died in
combat while serving in the United States Armed Forces;
Whereas members of the Jewish War Veterans of the United
States of America have volunteered over 10,000,000
hours at veterans’ hospitals; and
Whereas honoring the sacrifices of Jewish veterans is an im-
portant component of recognizing the strong and patri-
otic role Jews have played in the United States Armed
Forces: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) a postage stamp should be issued to honor
the 100th anniversary of the Jewish War Veterans
of the United States of America; and
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee of
the United States Postal Service should recommend
to the Postmaster General that such a postage
stamp be issued.

the area be categorized according to the census tracts
contained within the area;
Whereas the interim rule published by the Secretary of Hous-
ing and Urban Affairs on January 18, 1994 (59 Fed.
Reg. 2703) concerning empowerment zones and enter-
prise communities requires the use of census tract data;
Whereas census tract data are not the most accurate indica-
tors of poverty rates in a geographic area because such
data often mask differences within a census tract;
Whereas census data are more accurate at the level of census
block groups because the Bureau of the Census develops
its data at the block group level and then aggregates the
block group data to produce summary statistics at the
census tract level;
Whereas the use of census block group data would permit a
focus on geographic areas that are eligible for designation
as empowerment zones or enterprise communities, and
would avoid creating eligibility for substantial geographic
areas that should not receive such designation;
Whereas the use of census block group data would allow eligi-
bility for empowerment zone or enterprise community
designation for areas, throughout the Nation, that would
otherwise be eliminated from consideration for such des-
ignation due to the averaging effect of summarizing cen-
sus block group data across the block groups that com-
prise a census tract;
Whereas areas containing industrial centers of job growth ad-
jacent to residential concentrations of job seekers could
be eligible for designation as empowerment zones or en-
terprise communities if census tracts or blocks that have
no population, or (if more than 75 percent of the tract

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Office of
Personnel Management should provide certain vocational
rehabilitation services in its administration of the civil
service disability retirement program.
Whereas individuals under the civil service disability retire-
ment program should have the option of resuming useful
employment after their careers are interrupted by severe
injury;
Whereas vocational rehabilitation methods, such as selective
job referral, retraining, and career counseling, have pro-
gressed to the point where they represent cost-effective,
as well as humane, alternatives to continued dependence
on disability benefits;
HCON 1 IH
Whereas the former Federal policy favoring the rehiring of
injured employees has been curtailed because of recent
hiring ceilings; and
Whereas vocational rehabilitation is used throughout the in-
surance industry as well as under Federal workmen’s
compensation law, and should be a part of the Office of
Personnel Management’s functions in administering the
civil service disability retirement program: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
Office of Personnel Management should identify those in-
dividuals under the disability retirement provisions of title
5, United States Code, who could benefit from vocational
rehabilitation and should advise such annuitants of the
various vocational rehabilitation programs available to
them, including those administered by the United States
Employment Service and State vocational education divi-

register a current address with the local law enforce-
ment agency;
(3) a court should require an adult or child who
commits a child-related sex offense to register with
a local law enforcement agency as a condition of
probation;
(4) criminal penalties should be provided for of-
fenders described in paragraph (3) who are ordered
to register with a local law enforcement agency and
fail to register;
(5) law enforcement agencies should submit in-
formation on individuals convicted of child-related
sex offenses in the law enforcement agencies’ com-
