Whereas Turkey is now a candidate for membership in the
European Union, a community of nations likewise based
on shared values of democracy and human rights;
Whereas full inclusion of the 20,000,000 Kurds living within
Turkish borders in an open and multiethnic society will
promote both the strengthening of democracy and the
stability of the region as a whole;
Whereas four former parliamentarians from the now banned
Kurdish-based Democracy Party (DEP), Leyla Zana,
Hatip Dicle, Orhan Dogan, and Selim Sadak, remain im-
prisoned at Ankara’s Ulucanlar Prison and among the
actions cited in Zana’s indictment was her 1993 appear-
ance before the Helsinki Commission in Washington,
D.C.;
Whereas 153 Members of the United States Congress in
1997 signed a letter to President Clinton calling for
Leyla Zana’s immediate and unconditional release ‘‘so
that we may again welcome her to our shores’’; and
Whereas, at the recent Stockholm International Forum on

delegation expressed its commitment to ‘‘the promotion

(2) the prompt recognition by the Government
of the Republic of Turkey of full cultural and lan-

ders, including the right of education and broad-
casting in Kurdish, is a vital step in promoting toler-

Whereas article I, section 1 of the Constitution specifies that
‘‘All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in
a Congress of the United States’’;
Whereas a ‘‘republic’’ is defined as ‘‘a government in which

utilization of the Red Cross and Red Crescent by other
national societies;
Whereas the Red Cross and the Red Crescent have been rec-
ognized as protected symbols under the Statutes of the
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement;
Whereas the International Committee of the Red Cross has
ignored previous requests from the United States Con-
gress to recognize the Magen David Adom Society;
Whereas the Statutes of the International Red Cross and Red
Crescent Movement state that it ‘‘makes no discrimina-
tion as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or po-
litical opinions’’ and it ‘‘may not take sides in hostilities
or engage at any time in controversies of a political, ra-
cial, religious or ideological nature’’;
Whereas although similar national organizations of Iraq,
North Korea, and Afghanistan are recognized as full
members of the International Red Cross and Red Cres-
cent Movement, the Magen David Adom Society has been
denied membership since 1949; and
Whereas in fiscal year 1999 the United States Government
provided $119,400,000 to the International Committee of
the Red Cross and $7,300,000 to the Federation of Red
Cross and Red Crescent Societies: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That—

should immediately recognize the Magen David Adom
Society and the Magen David Adom Society should be
granted full membership in the International Committee
of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement;

(3) the Red Shield of David should be accorded the
