(2) the all hazards approach is the best way to
prepare the United States for all threats;

boys—the entire male population of Kalavryta—ransack-
ing and burning the town, attempting to burn alive the
women and children of the town, who were locked in a
grammar school, and burning buildings in and killing the
residents of several monasteries and villages surrounding
Kalavryta;
Whereas as active participants in a free and democratic soci-
ety, it is the duty of the Congress and the citizenry of
the United States to remain vigilant in order to ensure
that such atrocities as occurred at Kalavryta never again
be perpetrated; and
Whereas it is both proper and fitting for all life-affirming
people to commemorate the tragedy of Kalavryta, to re-
dedicate ourselves to the principles of equality and justice
for people of all races and religions, and to pledge that
the sufferings of the people of Kalavryta shall not be for-
gotten: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
victims of the Kalavryta carnage should be honored and
remembered and that the United States should renew its
commitment to ending tyranny and bigotry to the benefit
of all humanity.

To express the sense of Congress regarding regulation of mercury hazardous
waste, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 29, 1994
Mr. SABO (for himself and Mr. TORRES) submitted the following concurrent
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
To express the sense of Congress regarding regulation of
mercury hazardous waste, and for other purposes.
Whereas there has been a 2- to 3-fold global increase in mer-
cury in the environment since the 1850’s, increases of 3.4
times have been found in wilderness areas of the United
States, and much higher increases have been found in de-
veloped areas of the United States;
Whereas mercury is truly a national and international con-
cern because mercury is atmospherically transported in-
discriminately across political boundaries;
Whereas mercury poses a serious and growing public health
and environmental problem even when released in minute
quantities;
•HCON 319 IH
Whereas mercury presents particular problems in aquatic sys-
tems where mercury bioaccumulates;
Whereas human consumption advisories have been issued in
at least 34 States because of the high levels of mercury
contamination in fish, resulting in losses to the tourism
and fishing industries and related activities;
Whereas atmospheric deposition resulting from human activi-
ties, including waste disposal, contributes most of the
mercury loading to the environment;
Whereas numerous studies have indicated that mercury-con-
taining lamps will soon become the largest contributor of
mercury to municipal waste streams in the United States;
Whereas the United States, through the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency, is working cooperatively within the inter-
national community to reduce global risks of mercury in
the environment;
Whereas the Environmental Protection Agency is already ac-
tively supporting efforts to virtually eliminate releases of
mercury in the Great Lakes Region; and
Whereas the waste management priorities of the United
States encourage recycling before waste disposal: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that the En-
vironmental Protection Agency should not exempt mercury
hazardous wastes from hazardous waste regulation but in-
stead should adopt waste management policies and rules
that seek to minimize all releases of mercury into the envi-
ronment while encouraging the recycling of mercury-con-

Mr. ENGEL submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Vatican should
recognize the State of Israel and should establish diplo-
matic relations with that country.
Whereas 117 governments of every political form maintain
full and formal diplomatic relations with the State of
Israel;
Whereas the Vatican and the State of Israel have maintained
formal channels of communication;
Whereas the Vatican and the State of Israel participate in
ongoing consultations and informal diplomatic exchanges;
Whereas the end of the Cold War facilitated the re-establish-
ment of diplomatic relations between Israel and the na-
tions of Eastern Europe and between Israel and the
former Soviet Union;
•HCON 32 IH
Whereas the 5 permanent members of the United Nations
Security Council all now maintain full diplomatic rela-
tions with Israel;
Whereas the ‘‘Nostra Aetate’’ calls for Catholic-Jewish dia-
logue and understanding;
Whereas the National Conference on Catholic Bishops’ state-
ment, entitled ‘‘The Pursuit of Peace with Justice,’’ sup-
ports the ‘‘rights of Israel to existence as a sovereign
state with secure and recognized boundaries’’;
Whereas the National Christian Leadership Conference has
urged Pope John Paul II to formally recognize the State
of Israel;
Whereas the Vatican has demonstrated constructive support
for the Egypt-Israel peace treaty; and
Whereas the establishment of formal diplomatic relations be-
tween the Vatican and the State of Israel would be a
positive step toward peace and stability in the Middle
East and would promote increased harmony between
Christians and Jews throughout the world: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
Vatican should grant official recognition to the State of
Israel and should establish diplomatic relations with that
country.
SEC. 2. The Clerk of the House of Representatives
shall transmit copies of this resolution to the President
with a request that the President transmit those copies
to the Vatican and to the Government of Israel.
