1ST SESSION 
H. RES. 533 
Supporting the goals and ideals of Cambodian-American Freedom Day. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
NOVEMBER 3, 2005 
Mr. REICHERT submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Government Reform 
RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goals and ideals of Cambodian-American 
Freedom Day. 
Whereas in March 1970 approximately seven million Cam-
bodians were living under conflict between the Khmer Re-
public and the Kampuchean (Khmer Rouge) Communist 
Party; 
Whereas between April 1975 and January 1979, Cambodians 
were living under the communist regime of the Khmer 
Rouge Communist Party which committed acts of geno-
cide, and as a result, at least two million Cambodians 
lost their lives; 
Whereas on May 23, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed 
into law the Indochina Migration and Refugee Assistance 
Act of 1975 (Public Law 64–23), granting Southeast 
Asian refugees the right to settle in the United States;
•HRES 533 IH 
Whereas the Khmer Rouge communist regime was over-
thrown on January 7, 1979, by the communist group of 
the People’s Republic of Kampuchea, which was backed 
by Socialist Republic of Vietnam; 
Whereas hundreds of thousands of Cambodians fled Cam-
bodia to refugee camps throughout Southeast Asia, and 
Cambodians made their way to communities across the 
United States between 1975 and 1999; 
Whereas according to the United States Census 2000, there 
are approximately 206,000 Cambodians currently living 
in the United States; 
Whereas despite their tremendous loss of freedom to the com-
munist regimes, Cambodians and Cambodian-Americans 
have shown courage and resiliency while at the same time 
remembering and honoring both their traditional culture 
and traumatic past; and 
Whereas it is important to recognize the positive contribu-
tions of Cambodian-Americans to the United States: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of Cambodian- 
American Freedom Day; 
(2) honors and recognizes the 30th anniversary 
of the arrival of the first Cambodian immigrants to 
the United States; and 
(3) recognizes the contributions Cambodian- 
Americans have made to the United States.

section 536. Where points of order are waived against part 
of a paragraph or section, points of order against a provision 
in another part of such paragraph or section may be made 
only against such provision and not against the entire para-

ment, the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may ac-
cord priority in recognition on the basis of whether the Mem-
ber offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the 
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that pur-
pose in clause 8 of rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall 
be considered as read. When the committee rises and reports 
the bill back to the House with a recommendation that the 
bill do pass, the previous question shall be considered as or-
dered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage 
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit 
with or without instructions.

Whereas over the years ABT has performed repeatedly at the 
White House, most recently in December 2005;

its other outreach initiatives help to meet the need for

Whereas ABT’s Studio Company brings world class ballet to 
smaller communities like Rochester, New York; Stam-
ford, Connecticut; Sanibel, Florida; South Hadley, Mas-
sachusetts; and Winston-Salem, North Carolina; and 
Whereas The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at ABT 
and the ABT’s other artistic development initiatives pro-
vide the highest quality training consistent with the pro-
fessional standards of ABT: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

atre for over 65 years of service as ‘‘America’s National 
Ballet Company’’, during which it has provided world 
class art to citizens in all 50 States;
