IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MAY 20, 2004 
Mr. LEVIN (for himself, Mr. GUTIERREZ, Ms. KAPTUR, Mr. MCNULTY, Mr. 
KNOLLENBERG, Mr. KUCINICH, Mr. OLVER, Mr. WELDON of Pennsyl-

A BILL 
To authorize the Government of Ukraine to establish a me-
morial on Federal land in the District of Columbia to 
honor the victims of the Ukrainian famine-genocide of 
1932–1933. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) 
Internationally 
accepted 
principles 
of 
human rights condemn the use of food as a political 
weapon.
(2) In the years 1932–1933, Ukraine was rav-
aged and its people brought to the verge of physical 
extinction by a famine caused not by natural causes 
such as pestilence, drought, floods, or poor harvest, 
but as a consequence of a premeditated policy on the 
part of the Soviet Government led by Joseph Stalin 
to crush the nationally conscious Ukrainian people 
and destroy their national, political, cultural, and re-
ligious rights. 
(3) Attempts at intercessions were made by the 
United States Government during the height of the 
famine, in the fall/winter of 1932–1933, indicating 
that it has always been the traditional policy of the 
United States to recognize events such as the fam-
ine-genocide in Ukraine. 
(4) The United States Commission on the 
Ukraine Famine found in its report filed in 1988 
pursuant to Public Law 98–473 that the Ukrainian 
famine was a deliberate policy of the Soviet Govern-
ment. 
(5) The Ukrainian famine is considered an un-
precedented heinous crime of genocide as defined by 
the United Nations Genocide Convention. 
(6) Ukrainian communities worldwide plan to 
commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Ukrainian
famine-genocide with appropriate observances to pay 
tribute to the victims of this tragedy. 
SEC. 2. AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH MEMORIAL. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Government of Ukraine is 
authorized to establish a memorial on Federal land in the 
District of Columbia to honor the victims of the Ukrainian 
famine-genocide of 1932–1933. 
(b) COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS FOR COMMEMO-
RATIVE WORKS.—The establishment of the memorial shall 
be in accordance with the Commemorative Works Act (40 
U.S.C. 1001 et seq.), except that sections 2(c), 6(b), 8(b), 
and 10(c) of that Act shall not apply with respect to the 
memorial. 
SEC. 3. LIMITATION ON PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

pense for the establishment of the memorial or its mainte-
nance.
