One Hundred Eighth Congress
of the
United States of America
AT THE FIRST SESSION
Begun and held at the City of Washington on Tuesday,
the seventh day of January, two thousand and three
Concurrent Resolution
Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 661 estab-
lished sanctions as a result of Saddam Hussein’s unprovoked,
illegal aggression against the sovereign Arab State of Kuwait;
Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 continued
the sanctions, which were intended to deprive the government
of Saddam Hussein of maintaining or acquiring the means to
threaten other states or peoples, or to continue to oppress his
own people;
Whereas the United Nations Security Council, through the Oil-
for-Food program, allowed for humanitarian goods to flow to
Iraq while maintaining the sanctions regime and control over
Iraq’s oil revenue;
Whereas the Coalition that liberated Iraq poses no risk to other
states or peoples, and there is no reason to believe that the
people of Iraq, liberated from the tyrant Saddam Hussein, pose
such a risk;
Whereas the Coalition is providing for the humanitarian needs
of the Iraqi people;
Whereas the people of Iraq are now ready to rebuild their nation
after over 30 years of tyranny;
Whereas the sanctions established by United Nations Security
Council Resolutions 661 and 687 prohibit the importation of goods
necessary for the Iraqi people to rebuild their country;
Whereas these sanctions restrict the trade of Iraqi goods, by and
on behalf of the Iraqi people, necessary to allow expeditious
rebuilding of Iraq and recovery from the tyranny of Saddam
Hussein; and
Whereas continuing the sanctions imposed on the government of
Saddam Hussein punishes the people of Iraq for the actions
of a brutal tyrant who no longer rules them: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concur-
ring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the United Nations should immediately act to lift the
economic sanctions imposed by United Nations Security Council
Resolutions 661 and 687; and
H. Con. Res. 160—2
(2) member states of the United Nations should allow and
encourage their nationals to trade with Iraq.

harmless of its chemical weapons, biological weapons, and 
ballistic missiles with a range of more than 150 kilo-

Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 687 
further required the government of Saddam Hussein to 
end any research programs aimed at developing such 
weapons, to destroy any material associated with such 
programs, and to change its behavior toward its own peo-
ple; 
Whereas the United Nations Security Council, through the 
oil-for-food program, allowed for humanitarian goods to 
flow to Iraq while maintaining the sanctions regime and

Whereas the Coalition that liberated Iraq poses no risk to 
other states or peoples, and there is no reason to believe

H. CON. RES. 161 
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES 
SEPTEMBER 23, 2004 
Received 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the outstanding efforts of the individuals and 
communities who volunteered or donated items to the 
North Platte Canteen in North Platte, Nebraska, during 
World War II from December 25, 1941, to April 1, 
1946. 
Whereas at the beginning of World War II residents of North 
Platte, Nebraska, received information that members of 
the Nebraska National Guard from the North Platte area 
would be traveling through the community of North 
Platte on a troop train en route to the west coast; 
Whereas residents of the North Platte community met the 
troop train on December 17, 1941, with food and other
HCON 161 RDS 
gifts for the troops when they arrived at the Union Pa-
cific train station; 
Whereas although the troop train carried young men from 
Kansas instead of members of the Nebraska National 
Guard, the residents of North Platte presented the young 
men from Kansas with the food and other items that 
were donated; 
Whereas Rae Wilson, of North Platte, proposed establishing 
the North Platte Canteen to the North Platte community 
so residents would greet every troop train that traveled 
through North Platte and provide the military troops 
with comforts from home on their way to serve their 
country during World War II; 
Whereas on December 25, 1941, the North Platte Canteen 
began serving food and other items to the United States 
military troops traveling across the United States to ei-
ther the east or west coast before being shipped overseas; 
Whereas during World War II, the North Platte Canteen 
routinely greeted and served food to between 3,000 and 
5,000, and up to a maximum of 8,000, uniformed per-
sonnel on a daily basis for an approximate total of 
6,000,000 personnel from every corner of the Nation; 
Whereas individuals from 125 communities in Nebraska, Col-
orado, and Kansas donated food and volunteered at the 
North Platte Canteen over its period of operation of ap-
proximately 5 years; 
Whereas the North Platte Canteen operated strictly with vol-
unteers from local communities, organizations, churches, 
schools, and other groups and received no Federal assist-
ance for its operation;
•HCON 169 IH 
under international human rights law for other 
vulnerable populations; and 
(2) the President should instruct the Secretary 
of State to send to the United Nations Ad Hoc Com-
mittee meetings a United States delegation that in-
cludes individuals with disabilities who are recog-
nized leaders in the United States disability rights 
movement.
Æ
HCON 161 RDS 
Whereas the North Platte Canteen received $137,000 in cash 
contributions from benefit dances, scrap-metal drives, 
school victory clubs, donation cans in local businesses, 
and relatives of servicemembers who traveled through the 
Canteen to help maintain the Canteen’s operations over 
its period of operation; 
Whereas the North Platte Canteen during one month alone 
served over 40,000 homemade cookies, 30,000 hard- 
boiled eggs, nearly 7,000 cup, loaf, and birthday cakes, 
and over 2,800 pounds of sandwich meat to serve to uni-
formed personnel; 
Whereas a typical daily shopping list might include 175 
loaves of bread, 100 pounds of meat, 15 pounds of 
cheese, 2 quarts of peanut butter, 45 pounds of coffee, 
40 quarts of cream, and 500 half-pint bottles of milk; 
Whereas the greatest contribution of the North Platte Can-
teen to the war effort was as a morale booster and a re-
minder to servicemembers of the American values and 
ideals for which they were fighting; and 
Whereas the North Platte Canteen was honored and recog-
nized by the United States military with the War Depart-
ment’s Meritorious Wartime Service Award: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That the Congress— 
(1) recognizes the outstanding efforts of the in-
dividuals and communities involved with the North 
Platte Canteen that served the needs of 6,000,000 
military personnel, who traveled through North 
Platte, Nebraska, on troop trains from December
HCON 161 RDS 
25, 1941, to April 1, 1946, during World War II; 
and 
(2) requests that the President issue a procla-
mation recognizing the gallant efforts of those who 
made enormous sacrifices to make the North Platte 
Canteen a success during World War II.
