the action taken by the Government of France against
seafood imports from United States is a totally unwar-

Whereas the Republic was founded as a democracy ‘‘of the
people, by the people and for the people’’;
Whereas, with the exception of national security, there are
few reasons for the Federal Government to act behind
closed doors while formulating policy that will affect each
1 of the approximately 260,000,000 Americans;
Whereas the Rules of the House provide that committee and
subcommittee hearings, and meetings for the transaction
of business, shall be open to the public unless the com-
mittee or subcommittee determines otherwise by specified
procedures;
Whereas the Rules of the Senate and statutes applying to the
Executive Branch provide that some Senate and Execu-
tive Branch meetings and hearings shall be open to the
public;
Whereas there are concerns regarding the lack of public and
media access to previous proceedings of the President’s
Task Force on National Health Care Reform; and
Whereas too much of the health care debate has already
taken place behind closed doors and out of the public’s
view: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That—
(1) all House of Representatives hearings and
meetings at the subcommittee, full committee, and
conference committee level regarding health care leg-
islation shall be open to the public and the media,
except as provided in clause 2(g)(2) of House Rule
XI (regarding disclosures that would endanger the
national security, violate a law or rule of the House,
•HRES 363 IH
or tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any per-
son); and
(2) it is the sense of the House that the Senate
and the Executive Branch should guarantee public
and media access to meetings and hearings concern-
ing the reform of health care legislation.
