Whereas Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is the spiritual

Whereas Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is recognized in
the United States and abroad as a leader in the quest for

Ms. HARMAN submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was

Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding proliferation
of missile technology from Russia to Iran.
Whereas there is substantial evidence that missile technology
and technical advice have been provided from Russia to
Iran, in violation of the Missile Technology Control Re-
gime;
Whereas these violations include providing assistance to Iran
in developing ballistic missiles, including the transfer of
wind tunnel and rocket engine testing equipment;
Whereas these technologies give Iran the capability to deploy
a missile of sufficient range to threaten United States
military installations in the Middle East and Persian
Gulf, as well as the territory of Israel, and our North At-
lantic Treaty Organization ally Turkey; and
•HCON 121 IH
Whereas President Clinton has raised with Russian President
Boris Yeltsin United States concerns about these activi-
ties and the Russian response has to date been inad-
equate: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the President should demand that the Gov-
ernment of Russia take concrete actions to stop gov-
ernmental and nongovernmental entities in the Rus-
sian Federation from providing missile technology
and technical advice to Iran, in violation of the Mis-
sile Technology Control Regime;
(2) if the Russian response is inadequate, the
United States should impose sanctions on the re-
sponsible Russian entities in accordance with Execu-
tive Order 12938 on the Proliferation of Weapons of
Mass Destruction, and reassess cooperative activities
with Russia;
(3) the threshold under current law allowing for
the waiver of the prohibition on the release of for-
eign assistance to Russia should be raised; and
(4) our European allies should be encouraged to
take steps in accordance with their own laws to stop
such proliferation.

from negotiations in June 1997 when an agreement

Whereas Canadian fishermen have been frustrated with their
own government’s effort to resolve the Pacific Salmon
Treaty disputes and have used the harassment of United
States citizens as a way to get attention;
Whereas Canadian fishermen, in protest over the lack of an

Whereas the famine brought about by the potato blight led
to mass starvation over the whole of Ireland and caused
the death of more than 1,000,000 of the men, women,
and children of Ireland;
Whereas the British government established a massive public
works system in a purported attempt to aid the people
of Ireland and then sabotaged that system by imposing
wages far below the escalating price of food and setting
conditions for task work that tens of thousands of people
could never meet, thus causing the acknowledged failure
of the very relief system it had created;
Whereas, beginning in mid-1847, the British government of
the time divested itself of financial responsibility for re-
lieving the famine-stricken population, instead throwing
responsibility on the Irish landlords;
Whereas many landlords, themselves financially hard-pressed
by the impact of the famine, dispossessed insolvent ten-
ants en masse, leading to the eviction of half a million
Irish people between 1846 and 1854 causing countless
deaths from exposure, disease, and starvation;
Whereas the elongation of the potato blight and the lack of
aid led to the mass emigration of more than 1,000,000
of the Irish people to the United States during the years
of the famine;
Whereas, after visiting Ireland in 1845, the African-American
abolitionist Frederick Douglass wrote that the people of
Ireland ‘‘are in the same degradation as the American
slaves’’;

educational institutions and the public.
