Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President

RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the President should call for a vote in the General As-
sembly and Security Council of the United Nations to
convene a United Nations Conference on Reforms, and
should initiate proposals to expand the membership of
the Security Council and strengthen the United Nations

Whereas the United Nations has more than tripled its mem-
bership since it was chartered in 1945;
Whereas the permanent membership of the United Nations
Security Council has remained unchanged with 5 mem-
bers since its creation in 1945;
•HRES 33 IH
Whereas the nonpermanent membership of the Security
Council was expanded from 6 to 10 members in 1963;
Whereas the end of the Cold War has resulted in a new inter-
national balance of power, as well as in new global prob-
lems and threats, which create the need for a more rep-
resentative United Nations Security Council and a more
effective and efficient United Nations peacekeeping role;
and
Whereas in the last 4 years the United Nations has estab-
lished 13 peacekeeping operations involving a total of
47,000 troops and an annual budget of more than
$2,000,000,000: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the President—
(1) should call for a vote in the General Assem-
bly and Security Council of the United Nations to
convene a United Nations Conference on Reforms;
(2) should initiate a proposal to expand the
United Nations Security Council by creating a new
group of permanent members without the veto power
and by increasing the number of nonpermanent
members; and
(3) should initiate a proposal to create a United
Nations Endowment Fund for Peacekeeping Oper-
ations and a United Nations Peacekeeping Reserve
Force.

(F) monitor and report on the survival, 
growth, overall health, and estimated energy 
savings of provided trees up until the end of 
their establishment period which shall be no 
less than five years; and 
(G) ensure that trees planted near existing 
power lines will not interfere with energized 
electricity distribution lines when mature, and 
that no new trees will be planted under or adja-
cent to high-voltage electric transmission lines 
without prior consultation with the applicable 
retail power provider receiving assistance under 
this Act. 
(c) LACK OF NONPROFIT TREE-PLANTING ORGANI-
ZATION.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—If a qualified nonprofit tree- 
planting organization does not exist or operate with-
in areas served by retail power providers applying 
for assistance under this Act, the requirements of 
this section shall apply to binding legal agreements 
entered into by such retail power providers and one 
of the following entities: 
(A) Local municipal governments with ju-
risdiction over the urban or suburban forest. 
(B) Conservation districts.
