Urging the President to raise, at the highest levels of the Government of
the People’s Republic of China, the issue of Chinese population transfer
into Tibet in an effort to bring about an immediate end to that govern-
ment’s policy on this issue.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 27, 1993
Mr. ACKERMAN (for himself, Mr. GILMAN, Mr. PORTER, and Mr. LANTOS)
submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Urging the President to raise, at the highest levels of the
Government of the People’s Republic of China, the issue
of Chinese population transfer into Tibet in an effort
to bring about an immediate end to that government’s
policy on this issue.
Whereas the most critical issue for the Tibetan people today
is the transfer of Chinese population into Tibet, which is
reducing the Tibetans to a minority in their own country;
Whereas this population transfer is a combination of the
direct transfer of Chinese by the Government of the
People’s Republic of China and government-induced
relocation;
•HCON 106 IH
Whereas the rate of population transfer has now reached the
point where the distinct identity of the Tibetan people
and their civilization are being overwhelmed;
Whereas the transfer of Chinese population into Tibet threat-
ens the cultural, religious, and national identity of the
Tibetan people and violates their human rights;
Whereas the State Department’s Country Reports on Human
Rights Practices for 1992 states that the ‘‘massive influx
into Tibet of Han Chinese. . .already affects ethnic mix-
ture in Lhasa’’, and in 1992 Asia Watch stated that the
movement of Chinese into Tibet ‘‘has increased in recent
years. . .because of incentives directly offered by the
government’’;
Whereas Tibetans have already been reduced to a minority of
the population in all major Tibetan towns and cities;
Whereas new Chinese towns and cities, exclusively inhabited
by Chinese settlers, are being built at an increasing rate;
Whereas Chinese population transfer results in widespread
discrimination against Tibetans and in marginalization of
Tibetans in political and economic spheres;
Whereas the Government of the People’s Republic of China
sends Chinese settlers to Tibet and induces Chinese to
relocate in Tibet by offering incentives such as wage,
pension, and tax benefits, interest-free or low-interest
loans, housing assistance, and assured employment for
family members who move to Tibet;
Whereas on October 28, 1991, the Congress enacted section
355 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal
Years 1992 and 1993, which expresses the sense of the
Congress that Tibet is an illegally occupied country
450 
mentary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 
U.S.C. 7801). 
(6) PARTICIPATING ELIGIBLE STUDENT.—The 
term ‘‘participating eligible student’’ means an eligi-
ble student awarded an opportunity scholarship 
under this division, without regard to whether the 
student uses the scholarship to attend a partici-
pating school. 
(7) PARTICIPATING SCHOOL.—The term ‘‘par-
ticipating school’’ means a private elementary school 
or secondary school participating in the opportunity 
scholarship program of an eligible entity under this 
division. 
(8) POVERTY LINE.—The term ‘‘poverty line’’ 
has the meaning given that term in section 9101 of 
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
1965 (20 U.S.C. 7801). 
(9) SECONDARY
SCHOOL.—The term ‘‘sec-
ondary school’’ means an institutional day or resi-
dential school, including a public secondary charter 
school, that provides secondary education, as deter-
mined under District of Columbia law, except that 
the term does not include any education beyond 
grade 12.

Expressing the sense of Congress that United States truck safety standards
not be compromised incident to the implementation of the North Amer-
ican Free Trade Agreement.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 27, 1993
Mr. BROWN of Ohio (for himself, Mr. DEFAZIO, Mrs. BENTLEY, Mr. LIPIN-
SKI, Mr. VALENTINE, Mr. ANDREWS of Maine, Mr. POMEROY, Mr.
HINCHEY, Mrs. THURMAN, and Mr. TUCKER) submitted the following
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Public
Works and Transportation
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that United States truck
safety standards not be compromised incident to the
implementation of the North American Free Trade
Agreement.
Whereas the North American Free Trade Agreement requires
the United States, Mexico, and Canada to ‘‘harmonize’’
their trucking safety standards, but fails to guard against
lowering vital United States safety standards;
Whereas the North American Free Trade Agreement will per-
mit Mexican trucking companies and Mexican drivers to
operate in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California
•HCON 107 IH
after 3 years and throughout the United States after 6
years;
Whereas the United States truck driver fatigue rules limit
drivers to 10 hours per day behind the wheel, Canada al-
lows 13 hours without rest, and Mexico has no limita-
tions on truck driver time;
Whereas front brakes are required on United States trucks
but are not required on Mexican trucks, and the lack of
front brakes reduces stopping ability and increases its
susceptibility to jackknifing;
Whereas the United States maximum gross vehicle weight
limit is 80,000 pounds without a special permit, com-
pared to 137,000 pounds in Canada and 171,000 pounds
in Mexico;
Whereas Mexico does not have a truck driver records system
and the Canadian system does not link with the United
States system, thereby making it impossible for enforce-
ment officials in the United States to identify suspended
or revoked drivers, or drivers with disqualifying offenses
such as drunk, drugged, or reckless driving; and
Whereas only the United States requires industry-wide ran-
dom testing for drugs and alcohol: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the intent of Congress that the Sec-
retary of Transportation, in the carrying out of harmoni-
zation negotiations under the auspices of the land trans-
portation standards subcommittee established under arti-
cle 913 (Annex 1) of the North American Free Trade
Agreement, shall not weaken in any way United States
•HCON 107 IH
truck safety standards by increasing truck sizes and
weights or by compromising truck safety standards such
as truck driver hours of service, front brake and other
safety equipment requirements, and the truck driver
record system.

Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding alcohol use by the Nation’s
youth.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 27, 1993
Mr. GOODLING submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was re-
ferred jointly to the Committees on the Judiciary and the District of
Columbia
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding alcohol use
by the Nation’s youth.
Whereas the misuse of alcohol and other drugs by the Na-
tion’s youth is a major societal problem, and alcohol has
been found to be the drug used most prevalently by high
school seniors and college students;
Whereas surveys have shown that, by 8th grade or 13 years
of age, 70 percent of youngsters have tried alcohol and
27 percent have been intoxicated;
Whereas, in a recent study, funded through a grant made by
the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Edu-
cation and entitled ‘‘Alcohol and Drugs on American Col-
lege Campuses’’, students less than 21 years of age re-
ported significantly higher alcohol use than older stu-
•HCON 108 IH
dents and approximately 41 percent of college students
reported binge drinking (5 or more drinks) within the 2
weeks before the study;
Whereas misuse of alcohol has been linked to medical, social,
psychological, and family problems, as well as crime and
a host of other social ills;
Whereas students less than 21 years of age report a higher
rate of adverse consequences as a result of alcohol use
than do older students, including poor academic perform-
ance, vandalism, trouble with authorities, physical inju-
ries, illness, and suicidal thoughts or actions;
Whereas studies have shown that the consumption of alcohol
is inversely related to academic performance, with the
heaviest drinkers obtaining the lowest grades and the
lightest drinkers obtaining the highest grades; and
Whereas, although section 158 of title 23, United States
Code (commonly known as the National Minimum Drink-
ing Age Act of 1984) resulted in laws in all 50 States
and the District of Columbia prohibiting the sale of alco-
hol to any person less than 21 years of age, according to
a survey conducted by the National Transportation Safe-
ty Board many States still have no laws prohibiting a
person less than 21 years of age from purchasing alcohol,
from attempting to purchase alcohol, from consuming al-
cohol, from possessing alcohol, from misrepresenting his
or her age to purchase alcohol, or from presenting a false
identification to purchase alcohol: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
States and the District of Columbia should enact com-
•HCON 108 IH
prehensive laws to prohibit any person who is less than
21 years of age from—
(1) purchasing alcohol;
(2) attempting to purchase alcohol;
(3) possessing alcohol in public;
(4) consuming alcohol in public;
(5) misrepresenting his or her age to purchase
alcohol; and
(6) using false identification to purchase alco-
hol.

(2) A determination of the feasibility of estab-
lishing an accrual date for each charge to an escrow
account that occurs 30 days before the disbursement
date for the charge.
(3) A determination of (A) the feasibility of
identifying the disbursement dates for various State
and local tax collection agencies throughout the
United States and (B) any cost to the Secretary of
Housing and Urban Development of issuing a list of
such disbursement dates on an annual basis.
(4) A description and comparison of various ac-
counting methods for estimating the annual percent-
age increase in property taxes for a property secur-
ing a federally related mortgage loan.
(5) An examination of mortgage agreements
and a determination of the extent to which such
agreements permit any increase in the amounts re-
quired to be deposited by a borrower upon transfer
of the servicing rights for the mortgage loan.
(6) A determination of the extent and frequency
of deficiencies of amounts in escrow accounts and a
description and comparison of the various proce-
dures used to remedy such deficiencies.
