resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Expressing concern for the plight of Assyrians in the Near
East.
Whereas Assyrians have suffered profound religious and eth-
nic discrimination at the hands of certain governments
and political factions of the Near East;
Whereas the Assyrian people have made great sacrifices in
the effort to oppose the oppressive regime of Saddam
Hussein in Iraq and have suffered mightily as a result
of their efforts;
Whereas certain governments in the Near East have failed to
cooperate fully with the efforts of the United States De-
partment of State and international human rights agen-
cies to account for the disappearances of prominent As-
syrians;
•HRES 332 IH
Whereas the Assyrian people are a distinct cultural and eth-
nic group, tracing their heritage back over 6,700 years;
Whereas the Assyrians have made significant and invaluable
contributions to the progress of human civilization, such
as the university, the library, the postal delivery system,
and indoor plumbing;
Whereas the Assyrian language is a unique and living lan-
guage, with its roots in ancient Akkadian;
Whereas there are almost 3,000,000 Assyrians living
throughout the world today and 300,000 living in the
United States;
Whereas the Assyrian people have been repeatedly denied
their right as a nation to determine their own destiny;
and
Whereas the Assyrian people have expressed their desire to
coexist peacefully with other peoples in a democratic soci-
ety: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved,
SECTION 1. DECLARATION OF POLICY.
The House of Representatives—
(1) condemns the continuing religious and eth-
nic discrimination against Assyrians, as well as de-
nial of basic human rights to Assyrians in the Near
East;
(2) reaffirms that all Assyrians should be enti-
tled to freely practice their religion, speak their lan-
guage, practice their customs, and celebrate their
•HRES 332 IH
culture in whatever country they choose to make
their home; and
(3) strongly urges the governments of the Near
East to cooperate fully to ensure that the rights of
Assyrians are thoroughly respected.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
(1) the President should call for an end to the
government-sponsored persecution of Assyrians, and
further call for all governments to uphold the rights
of Assyrians;
(2) the President should instruct the Secretary
of State to address the issue of Assyrian rights with
other governments through the appropriate bilateral
and multilateral forums; and
(3) the President should instruct the United
States Ambassador to the United Nations to work in
that body to address the issue of discrimination
against Assyrians in the Near East.

RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
any budgetary surplus achieved by the end of fiscal year
2002 be saved for investment in the Social Security
Program.
Whereas the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance pro-
gram under title II of the Social Security Act has dras-

such program did not exist, the rate of poverty among
seniors would be 54 percent rather than the current rate
of 12 percent;
•HRES 340 IH
Whereas the Board of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance Trust Fund estimates that the Trust
Fund will become insolvent by the year 2029;
Whereas the number of people over age 65 will double by the
year 2025;
Whereas the number of workers whose taxes will finance their
social security benefits is projected to grow by only 17
percent;
Whereas the ratio of workers to recipients is projected to fall
from 3.2 to 1 today to 2.0 to 1 in the year 2030; and
Whereas the House of Representatives has a responsibility to
address the solvency issues facing the old-age, survivors,
and disability insurance program under title II of the So-
cial Security Act: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that any budget surplus that is achieved be-
tween now and the end of fiscal year 2002 should not be
spent, but rather it should be saved for investment in the
