Whereas the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC)
military junta, which on May 27, 1997, overthrew the
democratically elected government of Sierra Leone led by
President Ahmed Kabbah, suspended the constitution,
banned political activities and public meetings, and in-
vited the rebel fighters of the Revolutionary United Front
(RUF) to join the junta;
Whereas the AFRC and RUF then mounted ‘‘Operation No
Living Thing’’, a campaign of killing, egregious human
rights violations, and looting, that continued until Presi-
dent Kabbah was restored to power by the Economic
Community of West African States Military Observation
Group (ECOMOG) on March 10, 1998;
Whereas the AFRC and RUF have escalated their 8 year
reign of terror against the citizens of Sierra Leone, which
includes heinous acts such as forcibly amputating the

H. RES. 629
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the basic allowance
for housing for members of the Armed Forces stationed in San Diego
and Orange Counties, California, should be increased to compensate
for increased energy costs there.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 12, 2000
Mr. BILBRAY
(for himself, Mr. HUNTER, Mr. PACKARD, and Mr.
CUNNINGHAM) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on Armed Services
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the basic allowance for housing for members of the
Armed Forces stationed in San Diego and Orange Coun-
ties, California, should be increased to compensate for
increased energy costs there.
Whereas the economy of San Diego and Orange Counties,
California, 
is 
being 
drained 
of 
$75,000,000 
to
$100,000,000 each month as a result of unreasonable
electric power costs;
Whereas electricity consumers in San Diego and Orange
Counties are expected to be $500,000,000 poorer by the
end of October 2000 as a result of electricity price spikes;
•HRES 629 IH
Whereas electricity prices increased by 9,000 percent in a
matter of hours during periods of peak demand in San
Diego and Orange Counties this summer;
Whereas Department of Defense data for the year 2000 did
not show San Diego or Orange County to be in a high
cost area and the basic allowance for housing under sec-
tion 403 of title 37, United States Code, was not in-
creased for members of the Armed Forces stationed
there; and
Whereas the current basic allowance for housing does not re-
flect the current high electricity costs which must be
borne by these men and women: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the basic allowance for housing under
section 403 of title 37, United States Code, for members
of the Armed Forces stationed in San Diego and Orange
Counties, California, should be adjusted promptly to pro-
vide immediate relief from the electricity crisis.
