Whereas the Brown v. Board of Education decision struck a

Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes the historical significance of the Su-
preme Court’s unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of
Education;
(2) heralds this watershed in our shared history as
a significant advancement of the most basic American
principles of freedom, justice, and equality under the
law; and
(3) repudiates racial segregation as antithetical to

Relating to the treatment of veterans with Alzheimer’s disease.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 18, 1999
Mr. BALDACCI submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
RESOLUTION
Relating to the treatment of veterans with Alzheimer’s
disease.
Whereas an estimated 30 percent of the patients in veterans
nursing home facilities suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease
or some other form of dementia;
Whereas only a very small number of facilities exist that are
dedicated to treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease
and to developing improved protocols to treat the dis-
order;
Whereas the aging of the United States veterans population
is expected to hinder the capability of traditional veterans
nursing home facilities to care for veterans with Alz-
heimer’s disease; and
Whereas research indicates that the traditional nursing home
model may not provide the most effective method of
•HRES 177 IH
treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) in authorizing medical facility projects and
leases for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Con-
gress should authorize projects and leases for facili-
ties, in urban and rural locations, that are designed
specifically for purposes of treating veterans with
Alzheimer’s disease and conducting research relating
to Alzheimer’s disease;
(2) the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should en-
courage innovation in the methods utilized by De-
partment health care personnel in treating veterans
with Alzheimer’s disease; and
(3) the Secretary should encourage and facili-
tate the sharing of information on Alzheimer’s dis-
ease among Department facilities and personnel.

Concerning the extradition to the United States of Salvadorans.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 6, 1999
Mr. MORAN of Virginia submitted the following resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Concerning the extradition to the United States of
Salvadorans.
Whereas 24 Salvadorans who have been accused of murder
in the District of Columbia have fled to El Salvador to
avoid prosecution in the United States;
Whereas these 24 individuals represent approximately two-
thirds of the outstanding homicide warrants in the Dis-
trict of Columbia;
Whereas other jurisdictions, such as Arlington, Virginia, seek
Salvadorans who have fled to El Salvador for serious
crimes, including homicide;
Whereas since 1911, El Salvador has maintained a treaty
with the United States that provides for the extradition
of suspects charged with certain criminal offenses;
•HRES 17 IH
Whereas the United States-El Salvador extradition treaty
does not compel the extradition of either nation’s citizens;
Whereas the United States has no constitutional prohibition
against extraditing its own citizens;
Whereas El Salvador’s constitution prohibits the extradition
of Salvadoran citizens;
Whereas the El Salvadoran legislature, in April 1997, voted
to amend its constitution to allow extradition of its citi-
zens;
Whereas the constitutional amendment permitting extradition
of Salvadoran nationals requires approval by two-thirds
of El Salvador’s unicameral legislature in a second vote
before it can be enacted; and
Whereas the vast majority of Salvadoran immigrants to the
United States have contributed much to the communities
in which they live: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the return to the United States of all indi-
viduals who have fled the United States to avoid
prosecution or confinement for criminal offenses and
who are currently living in El Salvador should be a
top priority for the United States Government;
(2) the legislature of El Salvador is to be com-
mended for its April 1997, passage of legislation
which may lead to enactment of a constitutional
amendment permitting extradition of Salvadoran na-
tionals; and
•HRES 17 IH
(3) the Government of El Salvador is urged to
take all steps necessary to ensure enactment of a
constitutional amendment permitting extradition of
Salvadoran nationals during its current legislative
session.
