Expressing respect and affection for the flag of the United States.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 13, 1997
Mr. SKAGGS (for himself and Mr. KOLBE) submitted the following concurrent
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing respect and affection for the flag of the United
States.
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 23 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 Unit-
ed States, and states its abiding trust in the freedom and
liberty which the flag symbolizes.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that postage stamps

Whereas Don Juan de Onate, the Spanish explorer who was
the son of a noble Spanish family and the husband of the
granddaughter of Cortez and the great-granddaughter of
Montezuma, led the first major colonizing effort into
what is now the United States;
Whereas Don Juan de Onate began in January of 1598, with

other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 12, 1998
Mr. ROGAN submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Science
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Federal Gov-
ernment should increase its support for basic and applied
scientific research, and for other purposes.
Whereas the United States consistently has been the world’s
strongest supporter of basic and applied scientific re-
search;
Whereas the Congress, with the support of the American peo-
ple, has shown the wisdom and foresight to generously
support basic and applied scientific research;
Whereas scientific discoveries resulting from basic and ap-
plied scientific research have had an enormous impact on
the Nation’s economy, the development of technology, the
creation of jobs and new industries, and the strength of
the Nation’s research and educational institutions;
•HCON 243 IH
Whereas Federal financial support for basic and applied sci-
entific research has contributed significantly to making
the United States the superpower that it is today;
Whereas since 1988 Federal financial support for basic and
applied scientific research has dropped in constant dollars
by more than 2 percent annually;
Whereas the reduction in Federal financial support for basic
and applied scientific research threatens the Nation’s su-
premacy in science and technology, its wealth-producing
potential, its ability to educate researchers and scientists,
its national laboratories and research institutions, and its
global competitiveness; and
Whereas to ensure its leadership role in the world in the next
millennium the United States must not replace its sci-
entific curiosity with idleness, or abdicate its role as a
discoverer and explorer of the unknown, or shift its at-
tention from the wonderment of space to the dust of de-
cline: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
Federal Government should—
(1) increase its financial support for basic and
applied scientific research in the United States;
(2) encourage the maintenance and growth of
basic and applied scientific research within the cor-
porate and industrial sectors of the economy of the
United States; and
(3) analyze, and where necessary, adjust the
Federal incentives with respect to basic and applied

scientific research to ensure the global competitive-
ness of the United States.

Expressing the sense of Congress that the settlement of the decades-long
conflict in the North of Ireland should address a number of specific
issues in order to foster a just and lasting peace.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 17, 1998
Mr. KING (for himself, Mr. GILMAN, Mr. MANTON, Mr. NEAL of Massachu-
setts, and Mr. WALSH) submitted the following concurrent resolution;
which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that the settlement of
the decades-long conflict in the North of Ireland should
address a number of specific issues in order to foster
a just and lasting peace.
Whereas Irish people living in the North of Ireland are enti-
tled to the same full national and democratic rights of
Irish citizenship as Irish people living elsewhere in Ire-
land;
Whereas all people living in the North of Ireland are entitled
to receive equality of treatment with one another;
Whereas providing these rights is a prerequisite to any nego-
tiated settlement to the conflict in the North of Ireland;
•HCON 245 IH
Whereas providing these rights requires the British Govern-
ment to act to ensure that these rights are embodied in
specific measures of legislation and administration;
Whereas there can be no internal solution to the conflict in
the North of Ireland and no return to the Stormont gov-
ernment with its inbuilt Unionist domination and denial
of civil rights;
Whereas the nationalist community in the North of Ireland
is entitled to significant all-Ireland institutions with coop-
erative, executive, and advisory powers;
Whereas the Irish Government must be guaranteed a role in
all legislative and executive decisions affecting the lives of
the people living in the North of Ireland; and
Whereas there is currently a great opportunity for a peaceful
resolution of the conflict in the North of Ireland: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that the set-
tlement of the decades-long conflict in the North of Ire-
land should address the following issues within the frame-
work of any negotiated settlement of such conflict in order
to foster a just and lasting peace:
(1) All emergency legislation should be re-
pealed.
(2) Reform of all aspects of the legal system
should be established, including reform of civil and
criminal law, the judiciary, the conduct of the
courts, and the operation of the prison service.
•HCON 245 IH
(3) An accountable and representative police
service that is acceptable to both Nationalists and
Unionists should be established.
(4) All forms of discrimination in the North of
Ireland should be abolished and explicit, time bound
measures to redress existing inequalities should be
established.
(5) Economic justice should become a reality,
not merely a promise.
(6) The equality of the Irish language and cul-
ture should be established and maintained.
(7) All political prisoners of both traditions
being held with respect to the conflict in the North
of Ireland should be released as soon as possible.

census questionnaire only those subjects that have spe-
cific Federal legislative justification;
Whereas the demographic and socioeconomic data collected in
the decennial census helps policymakers assess population
changes, housing conditions, ancestry, and other patterns
of mobility and achievement for different regions and
governmental jurisdictions, as well as for different popu-
lation subgroups;
Whereas independent analysis by a panel convened by the
National Academy of Sciences determined that there are
‘‘essential public needs’’ for information gathered by the
long form and that ‘‘the extra cost of the census long
form, once the census has been designed to collect limited
data for every resident, is relatively low’’;
Whereas the National Academy of Sciences has concluded
that the long form does not significantly affect the overall
mail response rate to the census;
Whereas independent analyses of the decennial census have
found that the long form does not increase the
undercount in the census or the differential undercount
of racial, ethnic, and low-income populations to any sig-
nificant extent;
Whereas administering a traditional long form at a later
point in time, instead of as part of the 2000 decennial
census of population, would substantially increase the
cost of collecting the data, place the quality of the data
at risk, and jeopardize the availability of reliable and
timely data for rural and small geographic areas;
Whereas the General Accounting Office has found that over
$170,000,000,000 each year in Federal program funds
are distributed to State and local governments on the
•HCON 246 IH
basis of data collected in the census, including data avail-
able only from the long form; and
Whereas the collection of demographic, socioeconomic, hous-
ing, and transportation data on the long form in the
2000 decennial census of population is supported by Fed-
eral, State, and local government officials and agencies,
service providers, researchers, and other social scientists
who help chart the direction of our Nation, private sector
decisionmakers, and many other census stakeholders, as
well as by a panel convened by the National Academy of
Sciences at the direction of the Congress: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring),
SECTION 1. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.
It is the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of
Commerce should ensure that—
(1) the 2000 decennial census of population in-
clude the administration of a long-form census ques-
tionnaire;
(2) the content of the long-form census ques-
tionnaire include, at a minimum, the subjects sent to
the Congress by the Bureau of the Census on March
31, 1997, in accordance with section 141(f)(1) of
title 13, United States Code; and
(3) a sufficient number of households receive
the long-form census questionnaire to ensure the

availability of reliable data for small geographic
areas, including rural communities.
