Prime Minister from 1974 to 1977 and from June 1992
until his assassination;
•HCON 112 IH
Whereas, under the leadership of Yitzhak Rabin, a frame-
work for peace between Israel and the Palestinians was

tober 26, 1994, and continues today;
Whereas, on December 10, 1994, Yitzhak Rabin was awarded
the Nobel Prize for Peace for his vision and accomplish-
ments as a peacemaker;
Whereas shortly before his assassination, Yitzhak Rabin said,
‘‘I have always believed that the majority of the people
want peace and are ready to take a chance for
peace . . . Peace is not only in prayers . . . but it is in
the desire of the Jewish people.’’;
Whereas Yitzhak Rabin’s entire life was dedicated to the
cause of peace and security for Israel and its people; and
Whereas, on November 4, 1995, Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin was assassinated in Tel Aviv, Israel: Now, there-

H. CON. RES. 115
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the inadequacy of German
reparations for Holocaust survivors living in the United States.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 17, 1995
Mr. YATES submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the inad-
equacy of German reparations for Holocaust survivors
living in the United States.
Whereas there are more than 125,000 Holocaust survivors
living in the United States,
Whereas, after the end of World War II, the Federal Repub-
lic of Germany instituted reparations programs for those
individuals who miraculously survived the German Nazi
cruelty and brutality; and
Whereas such reparations have been woefully inadequate in
providing the Holocaust survivors with compensation
commensurate with the unimaginable damage and suffer-
ing that they sustained;
HCON 115 IH
Whereas, while many Holocaust survivors receive reparations,
such payments have been small;
Whereas thousands of other Holocaust survivors living in the
United States have been paid no reparations at all;
Whereas Germany seeks to bring about a conclusion to the
payment of reparations, even though Holocaust survivors
have been paid little or nothing and continue to suffer
physically and emotionally;
Whereas Holocaust survivors had no significant role in the
original, or in most subsequent, negotiations with Ger-
many regarding reparations;
Whereas Holocaust survivors residing in the United States
did not previously apply for, or were refused, reparations
are in dire need of medical, material, and other help to
alleviate the consequences of their persecution under the
German Nazi regime;
Whereas many Holocaust survivors are excluded from repara-
tions under current programs because of the onerous eli-
gibility requirements imposed by the Government of Ger-
many;
Whereas the definition of a concentration camp, and the du-
ration of imprisonment, required for Article 2 Hardship
Fund payments should be made more inclusive, as large
groups of Holocaust survivors now living in the United
States, including Jews from Hungary, are excluded from
reparations because their confinement does not satisfy
the definitions imposed by Germany;
Whereas the Government of Germany can and should do
much more to compensate these victims of the German
Nazi horror: Now, therefore, be it

ferred to the Committee on International Relations and, in addition, to
the Committee on Resources, for a period to be subsequently determined
by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall
within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the
expression of self-determination by the people of Puerto Rico.
Whereas the people of Puerto Rico are natural-born citizens
of the United States but do not enjoy all of the individual
rights and liberties accorded to other American citizens
under the United States Constitution;
Whereas the future status of Puerto Rico remains under dis-
cussion among residents of the Island of Puerto Rico and
among Puerto Ricans residing in the 50 States of the
United States; and
Whereas the Charter of the United Nations, a treaty to which
the United States is a signatory, expresses the right of
self-determination, that is the right of a people to decide
HCON 11 IH1S
for themselves the political status under which they live:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) reaffirms the commitment of the people of
the United States to the principle of self-determina-
tion;
(2) reasserts the principle, first articulated by
the Congress in its ratification of the Charter of the
United Nations, that with respect to territories
whose peoples have not yet attained a full measure
of self-government, the interests of the inhabitants
of such territories are paramount; and
(3) endorses the right of the people of Puerto
Rico to political self-determination.

Whereas the 1994 cease-fires in Northern Ireland have cre-

Whereas the United States has sought to play an active role
