H. RES. 114
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 10, 1995
Mr. GILMAN submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the United States should support peace and stability
in the South China Sea.
Whereas the South China Sea is a critically important water-
way through which 25 percent of the world’s ocean
freight and 70 percent of Japan’s energy supplies transit;
Whereas the South China Sea serves as a crucial sea lane for
United States Navy ships moving between the Pacific and
Indian Oceans, particularly in time of emergency;
Whereas there are a number of competing claims to territory
in the South China Sea;
Whereas the 1992 Manila Declaration adhered to by the As-
sociation of South East Asian Nations, the Socialist Re-
public of Vietnam, and the People’s Republic of China
•HRES 114 IH
calls for all claimants to territory in the South China Sea
to resolve questions of boundaries through peaceful nego-
tiations;
Whereas the legislature of the People’s Republic of China has
declared the entire South China Sea to be Chinese terri-
torial waters;
Whereas the armed forces of the People’s Republic of China
have asserted China’s claim to the South China Sea
through the kidnapping of citizens of the Republic of the
Philippines and the construction of military bases on ter-
ritory claimed by the Philippines; and
Whereas these acts of aggression committed by the armed
forces of the People’s Republic of China against citizens
of the Philippines are contrary to both international law
and to peace and stability in East Asia: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) declares the right of free passage through
the South China Sea to be in the national security
interests of the United States, its friends, and allies;
(2) 
declares 
that 
any 
attempt 
by 
a
nondemocratic power to assert, through the use of
force or intimidation, its claims to territory in the
South China Sea to be a matter of grave concern to
the United States;
(3) calls upon the Government of the People’s
Republic of China to adhere faithfully to its commit-
ment under the Manila Declaration of 1992; and
•HRES 114 IH
(4) calls upon the President of the United
States to review the defense needs of democratic
countries with claims to territory in the South China
Sea.

(2) by adding at the end the following new 
paragraph: 
‘‘(7) If for any month an individual is entitled (prior 
to the application of this subsection) both to an old-age 
insurance benefit and to a widow’s or widower’s insurance 
benefit, the resulting increase (if any) in the amount of 
the widow’s or widower’s insurance benefit under para-
graph (1) shall be made (prior to the application of sub-
section (k)(3)(A)) in lieu of any increase in the amount 
of the old-age insurance benefit under such paragraph, un-
less—
‘‘(A) the amount of such old-age insurance ben-
efit would be greater than the amount of such wid-
ow’s or widower’s insurance benefit after the appli-
cation of paragraph (1) to each such benefit, or 
‘‘(B) the increase which would otherwise be 
made under such paragraph in the amount of such 
old-age insurance benefit would result (under the 
language following subparagraph (F) in the first 
sentence of subsection (e)(1) or (f)(1)) in the termi-
nation of the individual’s entitlement to widow’s or 
widower’s insurance benefits.’’. 
SEC. 2. EFFECTIVE DATE. 
The amendments made by this Act shall apply with 
respect to widow’s and widower’s insurance benefits
(under section 202 (e) and (f) of the Social Security Act) 
for months after the month in which this Act is enacted.
