H. CON. RES. 159
Concerning the identification of United States military personnel involved
in United Nations and other multinational peacekeeping operations for
the purposes of the Geneva Convention.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 6, 1993
Ms. SNOWE (for herself and Mr. GILMAN) submitted the following concurrent
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Concerning the identification of United States military per-
sonnel involved in United Nations and other multi-
national peacekeeping operations for the purposes of the
Geneva Convention.
Whereas the United States has deployed United States
Armed Forces personnel to serve in United Nations and
other multilateral peacekeeping operations abroad, in-
cluding Somalia, Haiti, and the former Yugoslav republic
of Macedonia;
Whereas the United States is considering significantly ex-
panding the deployment of United States military person-
nel as part of United Nations and other multilateral
peacekeeping forces;
•HCON 159 IH
Whereas serious concern has been raised about the deploy-
ment of United States military personnel as part of mul-
tilateral peacekeeping forces, particularly when such
forces are not under United States operational control,
because of the reduced ability of the United States to
protect the safety of such personnel, both in combat and
if captured;
Whereas on October 3 and 4, 1993, the forces of Somali war-
lord Mohamed Farah Aideed captured at least one Amer-
ican soldier serving in support of the United Nations
peacekeeping operation in Somalia and publicly commit-
ted horrible atrocities against members of the United
States Armed Forces;
Whereas it was reported that General Aideed planned to use
American prisoners as human shields in direct violation
of the 1949 Geneva Convention Relative to the Treat-
ment of Prisoners of War;
Whereas the Geneva Convention contains numerous protec-
tions for internationally recognized prisoners of war, in-
cluding the right to prosecute those violating such protec-
tions; and
Whereas the Department of State and the United Nations
have declared that the protections of the Geneva Conven-
tion relevant to prisoners of war do not apply in the case
of American soldiers held prisoner in Somalia: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the President should ensure that any
member of the United States Armed Forces participating
in any United Nations or other multinational peacekeeping
•HCON 159 IH
operation shall have access to the full protection of the
Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners
of War of August 12, 1949, if taken captive and held
against his or her will by combatants or other parties to
a conflict.

Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President
should report to Congress pursuant to section 4(a)(1)
of the War Powers Resolution as it applies to the use

Whereas United States Armed Forces are clearly engaged in
hostilities in Somalia;
Whereas the President has not formally reported to Congress

Concerning the responsibility of the Federal Government for providing social

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 12, 1993
Ms. SCHENK submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Concerning the responsibility of the Federal Government for
providing social services for undocumented aliens.
Whereas the Federal Government is charged with enforcing
immigration law, and restricting the entry of undocu-
mented aliens into this country;
Whereas undocumented aliens who enter the United States
through illegal means use social services such as emer-
gency health care, public education, and the functions of
the judicial system;
Whereas these social services are financed through State and
local tax revenues;
Whereas, because of their undocumented status, such aliens
often do not contribute tax revenues to help compensate
for State and local provision of such services;
•HCON 164 IH
Whereas one study estimates that the provision of social serv-
ices to undocumented aliens costs San Diego County over
$244,000,000 each year; and
Whereas the Federal Government provides grants to States
with high populations of legal immigrants under the
State Legalization and Impact Assistance Grant pro-
gram: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) immigration is a Federal matter, and that
the Federal Government should assume responsibil-
ity for financing the provision of social services to
undocumented aliens living in this country; and
(2) the Federal Government should support ef-
forts by State and local governments to assemble re-
liable data on the costs of providing such services to
undocumented aliens.
