Calling for an end to the sexual exploitation of refugees.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 13, 2002
Ms. MILLENDER-MCDONALD submitted the following concurrent resolution;
which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Calling for an end to the sexual exploitation of refugees.
Whereas the United Nations has received reports of wide-
spread sexual exploitation of refugees in exchange for hu-
manitarian assistance;
Whereas a report commissioned by the United Nations High
Commissioner of Refugees and the British organization
Save the Children accuses dozens of aid workers in Libe-
ria, Sierra Leone, and Guinea of refusing to give food
and medicine to young girls unless they perform sexual
favors;
Whereas the Secretary General of the United Nations has de-
nounced this sexual exploitation and called for a full in-
vestigation of the humanitarian staff from the agencies
involved;
•HCON 349 IH
Whereas international nongovernmental organizations, gov-
ernment agencies responsible for humanitarian response,
and peacekeeping forces have all been implicated in var-
ious reports of sexual exploitation of refugees;
Whereas the exchange of sex for money or gifts appears to
be widespread and many refugee children feel that there
are no other options for securing their basic necessities;
Whereas the majority of the victims of this exploitation are
girls between the ages of 13 and 18 years old, many of
whom are orphaned;
Whereas insufficient food rations was cited as a primary fac-
tor contributing to sexual exploitation; and
Whereas refugees are often highly illiterate and susceptible to
exchanging sex for food to help their families survive:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That Congress—
(1) supports the Secretary General of the
United Nations in condemning the sexual exploi-
tation of children by humanitarian aid workers;
(2) urges the United Nations Office of Inves-
tigative Oversight Services to conduct an investiga-
tion of sexual exploitation of refugees by humani-
tarian aid workers of both non-governmental organi-
zations and government sponsored agencies; and
(3) urges the President to—
•HCON 349 IH
(A) affirm the commitment of the United
States to protecting the well-being and human
rights of women and girls; and
(B) instruct the Administrator of the
United States Agency for International Devel-
opment and the Secretary of Agriculture to re-
view the distribution of food assistance to ref-
ugee communities throughout the world to en-
sure that humanitarian assistance to refugees
provided by the United States is respectful of
the human rights of women and girls and sup-
ports young girls identified as victims of sexual
exploitation.

Expressing the sense of the Congress that a commemorative postage stamp

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 14, 2001
Mr. ETHERIDGE submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Government Reform
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a commemorative
postage stamp should be issued in honor of Ava Gardner.
Whereas Ava Gardner’s movie career was recognized by the
film industry, as demonstrated by her receipt of a Golden
Globe nomination for ‘‘Best Actress in a Drama’’ for
‘‘Night of the Iguana’’ (released in 1964), an Academy
of Motion Pictures ‘‘Merit for Outstanding Achievement,
Best Actress’’ nomination for ‘‘Mogambo’’ (released in
1953), and the Look ‘‘Film Achievement’’ award for
‘‘The Hucksters’’ (released in 1947);
Whereas Ava Gardner personified and led the golden age of
Hollywood, when stories were of the heart and values dic-
tated one’s performance, with roles such as Sarah in
‘‘The Bible . . . in the Beginning’’ (released in 1966),
•HCON 34 IH
recognized as the Best Picture of the Month for the
Whole Family with the Box Office Blue-Ribbon Award;
Whereas Ava Gardner’s patriotism was unparalleled, and she
was recognized by the Armed Forces for her spirit of
public service and for her distinguished performance as
guest star of the Armed Forces radio network’s produc-
tion of ‘‘Victorious Lady’’;
Whereas Time Magazine recognized Ava Gardner’s achieve-
ments in 1951 by dedicating its cover to her, the first fe-
male from North Carolina to appear there;
Whereas Ava Gardner resided in New York, California,
Spain, and England, and her work was world renowned,
taking her around the Nation and the globe;
Whereas although Ava Gardner rose to great heights from
humble beginnings, living the American Dream through
hard work and perseverance, she did not forget the needs
of ordinary people and worked tirelessly for cancer re-
search funding;
Whereas Ava Gardner also did not forget the people of John-
ston County, North Carolina, where she was born the
youngest of the five daughters and two sons of Jonas and
Mary Elizabeth Gardner, attended high school in the
Rock Ridge community, and attended college in then At-
lantic Christian College (Barton College) in Wilson,
North Carolina;
Whereas citizens from every State in the United States and
people from around the world revere Ava Gardner’s work,
visiting the Ava Gardner Museum in Smithfield, North
Carolina, visiting numerous Internet sites related to her,
and enjoying her work in episodes of the hit television se-

Whereas catastrophic wildfires not only cause environmental
damage to forests and other lands but place the lives of
firefighters at risk and pose threats to human health,
personal property, sustainable ecosystems, wildlife habi-
tat, and air and water quality;
Whereas upon completion of the 2001 wildfire season, 81,681
fires burned 3,555,138 acres, which threatened rural
communities nationwide and killed 15 firefighters;
Whereas more than 7,400,000 acres burned during the 2000
wildfire season—equivalent to a six-mile-wide swath from
Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, California—destroy-
ing 861 structures, killing 16 firefighters, and costing the
Federal Government $1,300,000,000 in suppression
costs;
Whereas an April 1999 General Accounting Office report to
the United States House of Representatives, entitled
‘‘Western National Forests: A Cohesive Strategy is Need-
ed to Address Catastrophic Wildfire Threats’’ (GAO/
RCED–99–65) states that ‘‘The most extensive and seri-
ous problem related to the health of national forests in
the interior West is the overaccumulation of vegetation,
which has caused an increasing number of large, intense,
uncontrollable and catastrophically destructive wildfires’’;
Whereas an April 2000 United States Forest Service report,
entitled ‘‘Protecting People and Sustaining Resources in
Fire-Adapted Ecosystems: A Cohesive Strategy’’, in re-
sponse to the 1999 General Accounting Office report,
confirms the previous report’s conclusion and further
warns 
that

ries ‘‘Knots Landing’’ and her life story in biographical
television movies;
Whereas Ava Gardner’s works carry on, despite her death on
January 25, 1990; and
Whereas Ava Gardner was one of America’s most accom-
plished actresses in the 20th century, leading the Holly-
wood golden age, spreading the goodwill and patriotism
of the American people around the globe, and setting the
mark to be achieved in film, radio, and television for as-
piring actresses and actors: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) a commemorative postage stamp should be
issued by the United States Postal Service in honor
of Ava Gardner; and
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee of
the United States Postal Service should recommend
to the Postmaster General that such a postage
stamp be issued.

individuals who are in the United States, or its territories, illegally.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 14, 2002
Mr. KERNS submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that amnesty should not
be granted to individuals who are in the United States,
or its territories, illegally.
Whereas in 2000, there were an estimated 8,000,000 illegal
aliens living in the United States according to the Bu-
reau of the Census;
Whereas the granting of amnesty under the Immigration Re-
form and Control Act of 1986 has not curtailed the flow
of illegal aliens to the United States;
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens would reward
those who break the laws of the United States;
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens would demonstrate
that the United States is not committed to upholding and
enforcing its laws;
•HCON 350 IH
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens could encourage
additional illegal immigration;
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens would undermine
the process of legal immigration into the United States;
Whereas it is vital to national security to ensure the integrity
of the Nation’s borders;
Whereas the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, further
demonstrated the necessity of securing the Nation’s bor-
ders; and
Whereas granting amnesty to illegal aliens would subvert the
efforts of the Border Patrol, the Immigration and Natu-
ralization Service, the Customs Service, the Coast Guard,
and other agencies that work to secure the Nation’s bor-
ders: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that amnesty
should not be granted to individuals who are in the United
States, or its territories, illegally.
