1ST SESSION 
H. CON. RES. 51 
Expressing the sense of Congress that Congress should have the power to 
prohibit desecration of the flag of the United States. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 13, 2003 
Mr. STEARNS submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that Congress should have 
the power to prohibit desecration of the flag of the 
United States. 
Whereas from Valley Forge to Afghanistan, in every battle-
field where American values have been attacked and 
American lives sacrificed, the flag of the United States 
has been a shining symbol of the Nation and of the in-
domitable and eternal spirit of American liberty; 
Whereas to desecrate such a symbol is to desecrate the mem-
ory of the thousands of Americans who have sacrificed 
their lives to keep that banner flying, intact, and invio-
late; and 
Whereas, since Americans have fought and died to defend the 
flag of the United States, any act of desecration of the
•HCON 51 IH 
flag is profoundly offensive to Americans: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) as a symbol of the Nation, the flag of the 
United States deserves to be treated with respect of 
the highest order; and 
(2) Congress should have the power to prohibit 
the desecration of the flag of the United States.

Supporting the efforts and activities of individuals, organizations, and other 
entities to honor the lives of enslaved Africans in the United States 
and to make reparations to their descendants for slavery and its lingering 
effects. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
OCTOBER 9, 2004
Mr. DAVIS of Illinois submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on Government Reform 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Supporting the efforts and activities of individuals, organiza-
tions, and other entities to honor the lives of enslaved 
Africans in the United States and to make reparations 
to their descendants for slavery and its lingering effects.
Whereas the enslavement of Africans in the United States 
was and still is a shameful mark on the United States 
Government and the people of the United States; 
Whereas descendants of enslaved Africans continue to experi-
ence racial discrimination, frequently manifested in the 
form of hate crimes; 
Whereas the United States Government, as a party to the 
United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Po-
litical Rights, agrees that it cannot deny minorities the
•HCON 520 IH 
right to speak their original language, practice their cul-
ture, and enjoy their religion; 
Whereas African Americans are a numerical minority in the 
United States and are considered a minority by the 
United States Government; 
Whereas due to slavery African Americans today suffer the 
ongoing and permanent loss of their original language, 
culture, and religion, which has resulted in incalculable 
damage to themselves as individuals and as a people; 
Whereas the continued rejection of the justified demands of 
African Americans for reparations and the restoration of 
an international political identity would be the equivalent 
of the United States Government committing additional 
unjustified acts against African Americans and against 
the United Nations; and 
Whereas numerous non profit organizations recognize August 
17th as National Reparations Day: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) supports the efforts and activities of individ-
uals, organizations, institutions, and other entities to 
honor the lives of enslaved Africans in the United 
States and to make reparations to their descendants 
for slavery and its lingering effects; and 
(2) supports the goals and intent of National 
Reparations Day.

Strongly denouncing the danger of international terrorism inspired by an

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
NOVEMBER 18, 2004
Mr. ROHRABACHER submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on International Relations 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Strongly denouncing the danger of international terrorism 
inspired by an apostate vision of Islam, one of the his-
toric religions of the world.
Whereas Margaret Hassan, a helpless humanitarian aid 
worker and the Iraqi head of CARE International’s Iraq 
operations, was brutally murdered while in captivity of 
Muslim fanatics in Iraq; 
Whereas Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh was ritually 
slaughtered on an Amsterdam street on November 2, 
2004; 
Whereas van Gogh’s ‘‘crime’’ was a film he made, Submis-
sion, which recounted stories of Muslim women who were 
forced into arranged marriages and abused in various 
ways; and
•HCON 523 IH 
Whereas these latest atrocities sadly mark only the most re-
cent high-profile incidents of violence, mutilations, be-
headings, and other acts of savagery committed in the 
name of Islam, and such barbarous acts contradict the 
teachings of the monotheistic faith that Islam shares with 
both Christianity and Judaism: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress—
(1) denounces the horrific killings of Margaret 
Hassan, the Iraqi head of CARE International’s 
Iraq operations, and Dutch filmmaker Theo van 
Gogh as acts of terrorism and condemns all such 
monstrous acts committed in the name of Islam; 
(2) strongly urges Muslim countries and leading 
clerics and practitioners of the Islamic faith to take 
the lead in denouncing, marginalizing, and thwarting 
the violence committed in the name of Islam against 
unarmed and helpless victims; 
(3) similarly calls on people of all faiths to de-
nounce such barbarous acts committed against Mus-
lims; and 
(4) strongly encourages the Government of the 
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to deny access to Islamic 
holy sites in Saudi Arabia both to individuals who 
are members of organizations that have taken credit 
for, and to individuals who have committed, any
•HCON 523 IH 
crime or act of terrorism, barbarism, or mutilation 
in the name of Islam.

Mr. RUSH (for himself and Mr. RANGEL) submitted the following concurrent 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress with respect to the murder 
of Emmett Till. 
Whereas Emmett Till was born in Chicago, Illinois, at Cook 
County Hospital, on July 25, 1941, to Mamie and Louis 
Till; 
Whereas Emmett Till traveled to Money, Mississippi, to 
spend the summer with his uncle, Moses Wright, and his 
relatives; 
Whereas in August of 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till—with 
adolescent flamboyance, but unfamiliarity of the racial 
customs of the South—allegedly whistled at Carolyn Bry-
ant, a white woman;
