SEC. 3. SENSE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
(1) the Secretary of State should change the
prohibition on the use of United States passports for
travel to Lebanon to a travel advisory because Amer-
ican citizens have been safely traveling to Lebanon
since 1991, and it appears that the risk posed to the
safety of American citizens is no greater in Lebanon
than it is in other countries for which the United
States is maintaining travel advisories;
(2) the Secretary of State should identify those
conditions in Lebanon that pose a risk to United
States citizens and provide suggestions for the Gov-
ernment of Lebanon to ameliorate those risks; and
(3) if deciding to renew the ban on travel to
Lebanon, the Secretary of State should—
(A) create a new waiver category to permit
exceptions for United States business personnel
who wish to travel to Lebanon for business pur-
poses; and
(B) expand the present humanitarian waiv-
er provisions to permit American citizens of

H. RES. 277
Relating to a question of the privileges of the House.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 17, 1995
Mr. PETERSON of Florida submitted the following resolution; which was laid
on the table
RESOLUTION
Relating to a question of the privileges of the House.
Whereas the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct is
currently considering several ethics complaints against
Speaker Newt Gingrich;
Whereas the committee has traditionally handled such cases
by appointing an independent, non-partisan, outside
counsel—a procedure which has been adopted in every
major ethics case since the committee was established;
Whereas, although complaints against Speaker Gingrich have
been under consideration for more than fourteen months,
the committee has failed to appoint an outside counsel;
Whereas the committee has also deviated from other long-
standing precedents and rules of procedure; including its
failure to adopt a resolution of preliminary inquiry before
HRES 277 LTH
calling third-party witnesses and receiving sworn testi-
mony;
Whereas these procedural irregularities—and the unusual
delay in the appointment of an independent, outside
counsel—have led to widespread concern that the com-
mittee is making special exceptions for the Speaker of the
House; and
Whereas the integrity of the House depends on the con-
fidence of the American people in the fairness and impar-
tiality of the Committee on Standards of Official Con-
duct: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the chairman and ranking member of
the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct should
report to the House, no later than November 28, 1995,
concerning—
(1) the status of the Committee’s investigation
of the complaints against Speaker Gingrich;
(2) the Committee’s disposition with regard to
the appointment of a nonpartisan outside counsel
and the scope of the counsel’s investigation; and
(3) a timetable for Committee action on the
complaints.
