Recognizing and commending American airmen held as prisoners of war
at the Buchenwald concentration camp during World War II for their
service, bravery, and fortitude.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 25, 1995
Mr. HUTCHINSON (for himself, Mr. MONTGOMERY, and Mr. EDWARDS) sub-
mitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Government Reform and Oversight
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing and commending American airmen held as pris-
oners of war at the Buchenwald concentration camp dur-
ing World War II for their service, bravery, and for-
titude.
Whereas during World War II 173 Allied airmen were cap-
tured by the enemy and held as prisoners of war at the
Buchenwald concentration camp in Weimar, Germany;
Whereas the captured airmen included 81 Americans, 27 Ca-
nadians, and 65 Britons, Australians, and New Zealand-
ers;
Whereas the facts and circumstances of their confinement are
amply documented in the official records maintained by
the National Archives and Records Administration;
•HCON 73 IH
Whereas a report from the International Red Cross concern-
ing Stalag Luft III in Sagan, Germany, mentioned six
American airmen held at Buchenwald, including one
whose name does not appear on the lists maintained by
the National Archives;
Whereas since the liberation of Buchenwald in 1945 numer-
ous personal memoirs, scholarly books, and articles have
been published describing the conditions at the concentra-
tion camp;
Whereas this extensive documentation records the extraor-
dinarily inhuman treatment, deprivations, and personal
suffering inflicted on prisoners of war and other inmates
at Buchenwald; and
Whereas Allied Governments and veterans organizations out-
side the United States have granted special recognition to
their citizens and servicemembers who were held as pris-
oners of war in World War II concentration camps: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) recognizes and commends the American air-
men held as prisoners of war at the Buchenwald
concentration camp during World War II for their
faithful service, personal bravery, and exceptional
fortitude; and
(2) requests that the President issue a procla-
mation recognizing and commending the service,
bravery, and fortitude of those airmen.

Mr. RANGEL submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that Social Security
should be maintained and protected.
Whereas, on August 14, 1935, the 74th Congress enacted the
first Social Security Act;
Whereas President Franklin Roosevelt stated, ‘‘In pursuing
this policy we are walking toward the ultimate objective
of making it possible for Americans to live as Americans
should.’’;
Whereas Social Security blends together elements of economic
wisdom and of social justice;
Whereas Social Security is a self-financed program supported
by deductions from workers’ earnings and matched by
employers;
•HCON 75 IH
Whereas over 141 million persons pay into the Social Secu-
rity system;
Whereas over 42 million persons receive Social Security bene-
fits;
Whereas persons earn Social Security benefits because they
and their employers pay payroll taxes;
Whereas Social Security is the Nation’s most successful anti-
poverty program, saving 15 million persons from poverty;
Whereas Social Security is the only pension program for 5
out of 10 persons;
Whereas more than 60 percent of older beneficiaries rely on
Social Security for at least half their income;
Whereas 1 out of 4 older beneficiaries rely on Social Security
for at least 90 percent of their income;
Whereas the Social Security system currently has over $436
billion in reserves and that amount will increase in fiscal
year 1995 by an additional $65 billion;
Whereas the American public has rejected cutting Social Se-
curity to pay for tax cuts or to meet short-term budget
targets;
Whereas reforms of Social Security benefits should be made
only to strengthen the long-term integrity and solvency of
the Social Security Trust Fund;
Whereas Social Security provides both young and older per-
sons with economic protection in the event of a disability
or the loss of a parent or spouse; and
Whereas Social Security is the centerpiece of the sacred con-
tract between citizens of the United States and their gov-
ernment, the cornerstone of the Nation’s commitment to

term budget targets, but only to strengthen and preserve
the long-term integrity of this program that has provided
economic security for tens of millions of Americans in

Expressing respect and affection for the flag of the United

Whereas freedom and liberty protected by the Constitution
are fundamental and precious rights of each American;
Whereas the flag of the United States is an historic and re-
vered symbol of that freedom and liberty;
Whereas generations of Americans have fought with valor
under the flag to protect the sacred values it represents;
Whereas all the people of the United States, and their rep-
resentatives in Congress, should show respect and affec-
tion for the flag;
Whereas the flag has been a source of inspiration for free-
dom-seeking people around the world;
•HCON 76 IH
Whereas deeply held respect and affection for the flag have
caused many to propose an amendment to the Constitu-
tion to protect the flag from desecration; and
Whereas an amendment to the Constitution, expanding the
powers of government to prohibit offensive behavior,
would entail a limitation on freedoms previously protected
under the First Amendment: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress of the United States ex-
presses deep respect and affection for the flag of the
United States, and states its abiding trust in the freedom
and liberty which the flag symbolizes.
