109TH CONGRESS 
1ST SESSION 
H. CON. RES. 56 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the United States should not 
ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 10, 2005 
Mr. PAUL (for himself, Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia, and Mr. DUNCAN) 
submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on International Relations 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the United States 
should not ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty. 
Whereas the United Nations Convention on the Law of the 
Sea (hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Law of the Sea Trea-
ty’’) was conceived as a result of the New International 
Economic Order, a political agenda of the United Nations 
to transfer wealth and technology from the industrial 
countries to communist and undeveloped countries; 
Whereas, in 1982, President Ronald Reagan announced that 
the United States would not become a signatory to the 
Law of the Sea Treaty; 
Whereas, in 1994, a separate ‘‘Agreement’’ that purported to 
amend the Treaty was deemed unacceptable to the Sen-
ate Foreign Relations Committee;
•HCON 56 IH 
Whereas the Law of the Sea Treaty affirms the oceans as the 
‘‘Common Heritage of Mankind,’’ and dictates that oce-
anic resources should be shared among all mankind; 
Whereas the Law of the Sea Treaty would cede 70 percent 
of the world’s surface to the control of the United Na-
tions; 
Whereas the Law of the Sea Treaty creates the International 
Seabed Authority, which will for the first time in history 
grant a United Nations entity the authority to directly 
impose fees, which are really taxes, on private enterprises 
and countries for seabed mining, offshore oil platforms, 
and other raw material recovery activities; 
Whereas the Law of the Sea Tribunal, created by this treaty, 
has claimed jurisdiction over the territorial seas and eco-
nomic zones of coastal countries, as well as jurisdiction 
over the onshore economic activities in coastal countries 
that might affect the oceans, and could rule in a manner 
contrary to United States military, counterterrorism, and 
commercial interests; and 
Whereas the Law of the Sea Treaty would be an unprece-
dented surrender of the sovereignty of the United States 
to the United Nations and violate the United States prin-
ciple of ‘‘consent of the governed’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the 
United States should not ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty.

•HCON 58 IH 
recommend to the Postmaster General that such a stamp 
be issued. 
Whereas Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm was born on Novem-
ber 30, 1924, in Brooklyn, New York, to Charles and 
Ruby St. Hill; 
Whereas in 1968, Shirley Chisholm made history by becom-
ing the first African American woman elected to the 
House of Representatives, representing the Twelfth Con-
gressional District of New York until her retirement in 
1983; 
Whereas Shirley Chisholm was a founding member of the 
Congressional Black Caucus, a fierce advocate for wom-
en’s rights and democracy, and a staunch opponent of 
the Vietnam War; 
Whereas Shirley Chisholm was an outspoken advocate for 
equal rights, early childhood education, fair labor stand-
ards, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday effort; 
Whereas Shirley Chisholm was a cofounder of the New York 
City Chapter of the National Organization for Women, 
the organization’s first chapter; and 
Whereas Shirley Chisholm further cemented her place in his-
tory when she became the first African American person 
to seek a major political party’s nomination for President 
in 1972: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) a commemorative postage stamp should be 
issued by the United States Postal Service honoring 
former Representative Shirley Chisholm; and
