Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to the right of all Ameri-
cans to keep and bear arms in defense of life or liberty and in the
pursuit of all other legitimate endeavors.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 5, 1993
Mr. CRANE submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to the
right of all Americans to keep and bear arms in defense
of life or liberty and in the pursuit of all other legitimate
endeavors.
Whereas the second amendment to the Constitution of the
United States conveys an inalienable right to all Amer-
ican citizens, such right occupying the same preferred po-
sition as all other constitutional rights, and
Whereas unconscionable abridgements of the second amend-
ment have been undertaken over the years by State and
local governmental bodies, and have been allowed by the
courts to stand uncorrected, and
Whereas the Framers of the second amendment to the Con-
stitution and those who ratified the second amendment
HCON 3 IH
intended that the individual retain the right to keep and
bear arms in order to protect life, liberty, and property
and to protect our Nation from those who would attempt
to destroy our freedom: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
Constitution provides that all individual citizens have the
right to keep and bear arms, which right supersedes the
power and authority of any government.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 17, 1993
Mr. DELAY submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Education and Labor
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress in opposition to the efforts
of certain groups to impose a sexual agenda on the
children of the United States.
Whereas certain groups, including the Adolescent Pregnancy
and Parenthood Advisory Council of Texas (referred to in
this resolution as ‘‘APPAC’’) advocate the enactment of
legislation to provide for the distribution in public school
systems of contraceptives and off-campus reproductive
health care, including abortion, without parental knowl-
edge or consent;
Whereas the Sex Information and Education Council of the
United States (referred to in this resolution as
‘‘SIECUS’’) advocates the compulsory teaching, in pro-
gressive stages from grades K–12, that homosexuality is
equal to heterosexuality, that homosexual and lesbian
•HCON 40 IH
marriages offer all the advantages of traditional families,
and that ‘‘. . . . legal abortion is very safe’’ and accept-
able;
Whereas both APPAC and SIECUS advocate not only com-
pulsory public school instruction, using both visual and
graphic techniques, of conventional and deviant sexuality
but also a ‘‘Teen Bill of Rights’’ that would remove pa-
rental consent and religious considerations as factors in
teenage sexual activity and abortion;
Whereas abundant medical, pedagogical, and psychological
evidence contradicts and accordingly renders suspect the
claims of APPAC and SIECUS; and
Whereas the legislative agenda advocated by APPAC and
SIECUS represents an unacceptable departure from the
prevailing ethical values of the Nation: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that it
opposes the proposals of the Adolescent Pregnancy and
Parenthood Advisory Council of Texas and the Sex Infor-
mation and Education Council of the United States.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. GOODLING (for himself and Mr. HYDE) submitted the following concur-

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that medical examiners
and coroners should make reasonable, good faith efforts
to locate the next of kin of deceased individuals.
Whereas often times families lose contact with family mem-
bers, making it difficult to locate a deceased family mem-
ber who has not let records regarding next of kin;
Whereas some families search for years to locate a family
member, only to discover they had died and the family
was never notified; and
Whereas there is not a consistent procedure used by medical
examiners and coroners in the United States to follow in
attempting to locate the next of kin of a deceased individ-
ual: Now, therefore, be it

public health problems and environmental problems in
such border region;
Whereas, although economic growth under NAFTA will also
create more resources to protect the environment in such
border region, such resources will not make an immediate
or significant reduction in the border region’s public
health problems and environmental problems;
Whereas such health and environmental problems will neces-
sitate expanding the level of bilateral environmental co-
operation between the United States and Mexico;
Whereas one method of bilateral environmental cooperation
would be to establish a joint commission aimed at com-
plimenting the activities of the International Boundary
and Water Commission, alleviating public health prob-
lems and environmental problems in the United States-
Mexico border region, and expanding bilateral environ-
mental cooperation on a nationwide basis;
Whereas there has been great concern expressed both in the
United States and in Mexico that insufficient financial
resources exist at the Federal levels in both nations to
deal with the public health problems and environmental
problems in such border region;
Whereas the best alternative to Federal funding for projects
to alleviate public health problems and environmental
problems in such border region is to establish access to
the international capital markets for public and private
financial organizations with the power to incur and issue
debt;
Whereas the establishment of access to the international cap-
ital markets for public and private financial organizations

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

next of kin of deceased persons in situations where
the identity of the deceased is unknown or is known
but the identity of next of kin is unknown; and
(2) the reasonable, good faith efforts referred to
in paragraph (1) should include, at a minimum, re-
quirements that medical examiners and coroners
contact the Social Security Administration and the
Department of Veterans Affairs to obtain informa-
tion on the background of deceased persons along
with—
(A) checking for personal papers, phone
lists, letters, and other documents at the place
of death and current residence of the deceased;
(B) checking for a will or insurance poli-
cies;
(C) checking local hospitals for previous
admissions of the deceased;
(D) checking the listings in local telephone
directories;
(E) checking city directories;
