To require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a survey and investigation
of the site containing the graves of American Revolutionary War soldiers
and sailors, located on a section of the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the
city of New York.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
AUGUST 2, 1993
Mr. TOWNS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on Natural Resources
A BILL
To require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a survey
and investigation of the site containing the graves of
American Revolutionary War soldiers and sailors, located
on a section of the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the city
of New York.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) historical documents indicate that the
Brooklyn Navy Yard in the city of New York con-
tains the graves of approximately 9–11,000 Amer-
ican soldiers and sailors who had been held captive
and tortured aboard British prison ships in nearby
waters during the American Revolutionary War;
(2) recently discovered evidence suggest that
the specific part of the Brooklyn Navy Yard that is
the proposed site for a city garbage incinerator for
which a construction permit has been requested is
the burial ground for many of these courageous Rev-
olutionary War heroes;
(3) the potential value of this graveyard in un-
derstanding and commemorating the history of the
United States will be lost if construction is allowed
to proceed without an investigation; and
(4) the city of New York may spend millions of
tax dollars on a plan that will be halted if the site
proves to be a historic landmark.
SEC. 2. SURVEY AND INVESTIGATION.
In order to avoid damage to a potential national his-
toric treasure, the Secretary of the Interior, under section
2(b) of the Act entitled ‘‘An Act to provide for the preser-
vation of historic American sites, buildings, objects and
antiquities of national significance, and for other pur-

Jeremiah Johnson, and dated 1786.

To require the Federal Communications Commission to establish standards
to reduce the amount of programming which contains violence from
broadcast television and radio.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
AUGUST 3, 1993
Mr. BRYANT introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce
A BILL
To require the Federal Communications Commission to es-
tablish standards to reduce the amount of programming
which contains violence from broadcast television and
radio.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Television and Radio
Program Violence Reduction Act of 1993’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Television and radio programming are
bringing ever-increasing levels of violent program-
ming into the American home. Over 25 percent of
prime-time television shows contain ‘very violent’
material, according to the National Coalition on Tel-
evision Violence.
(2) Prime time violence tripled during the
1980’s, the American Academy of Pediatrics reports.
(3) Programs developed for children are espe-
cially violent. A University of Pennsylvania study
found that children’s programming contains over 30
violent acts per hour.
(4) Before the average child finishes grade
school, he or she sees 8,000 murders and 100,000
acts of violence on television.
(5) Numerous academic studies have built up
astonishing evidence that shows children tend to imi-
tate the behavior they see on television. The Na-
tional Institute of Mental Health finds that violence
on television leads to aggressive behavior by children
and teenagers who watch violent programs.
(6) Three different Surgeons General, the At-
torney General’s Task Force on Family Violence, the
American Medical Association, the American Psy-
chiatric Association, the American Academy of Pedi-
atrics, and other authorities have all found that
viewing televised violence is harmful to children.
(7) Americans watch enormous amounts of tele-
vision, and many children will watch television for
twice as many hours (22,000 hours) as they attend
school.
(8) Many children watch violent television pro-
grams without adult supervision or guidance.
(9) More than 20 years of research has led to
a consensus that watching televised violence in-
creases children’s aggressiveness and desensitizes
them to the effects and implications of violence, and
the solidity of the agreement among respected sci-
entists that televised violence is harmful nullifies ar-
guments to the contrary by the television industry.
(10) There is a need to find solutions that limit
the harmful influence of television and radio violence
and yet maintain our freedom of expression.
SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Act:
(1) The term ‘‘violence’’ means any action that
has as an element the use or threatened use of phys-
ical force against the person of another, or against

agencies or persons for supplies or services without regard
to section 3709 of the Revised Statutes (41 U.S.C. 5).
SEC. 7. REPORT.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than the expiration of
the 18-month period beginning on the date of the appoint-
ment of the last member of the Commission to be ap-
pointed under section 4(a), the Commission shall submit
