referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce
RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideas of North American
Occupational Safety and Health Week.
Whereas every year, more than 6,000 people die from job-re-
lated injuries and millions more suffer occupational inju-
ries or illnesses;
Whereas every day of the year, millions of people go to and
return home from work safely due, in part, to the efforts
of many unsung heroes—the occupational safety, health,
and environmental professionals who work day in and
day out identifying hazards and implementing safety ad-
vances in all industries, at all workplaces (whether on the
road, in the air, on the waters, or on the rails) at reduc-
ing workplace fatalities and injuries;
•HRES 356
Whereas these safety professionals work to prevent accidents,
injuries, and occupational diseases, create safer work and
leisure environments, and develop safer products;
Whereas the more than 30,000 members of the 90-year-old
nonprofit American Society of Safety Engineers, based in
Des Plaines, Illinois, are safety professionals committed
to protecting people, property, and the environment glob-
ally;
Whereas the American Society of Safety Engineers, in part-
nership with the Canadian Society of Safety Engineers,
has designated May 5 through 11, 2002, as North Amer-
ican Occupational Safety and Health Week; and
Whereas the purposes of North American Occupational Safe-
ty and Health Week are—
(1) to increase employees’, employers’, and the
public’s understanding of the benefits of investing in oc-
cupational safety and health;
(2) to raise the awareness of the role and contribu-
tion of safety, health, and environmental professionals;
and
(3) to reduce workplace injuries and illnesses by in-
creasing awareness and implementation of safety and
health programs: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the goals and ideas of North
American Occupational Safety and Health Week;
(2) commends safety professionals for their on-
going commitment to protecting people, property,
and the environment; and
•HRES 356
(3) encourages all industries, organizations,
community leaders, employers, and employees to
support educational activities aimed at increasing
awareness of the importance of preventing illness,
injury, and death in the workplace.

RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regard-
ing the recognition of the authorities of Tibet who are
currently exiled in Dharamsala, India, as the legitimate
representatives of Tibet.
Whereas for more than 1,000 years Tibet has maintained a
sovereign national identity that is distinct from the na-
tional identity of China;
•HRES 357 IH
Whereas armed forces of the People’s Republic of China in-
vaded and occupied Tibet in 1949 and 1950;
Whereas the Seventeen Point Agreement, which was signed
under duress by representatives of the Tibetan Govern-
ment on May 23, 1951, guaranteed the political auton-
omy of Tibet;
Whereas the Lhasa Uprising against the People’s Republic of
China on March 10, 1959, led to the death and imprison-
ment of thousands of Tibetans and to the exile of the
Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual and temporal leader;
Whereas in 1959, 1961, and 1965 the United Nations Gen-
eral Assembly passed resolutions expressing concern
about the situation in Tibet, one of which called for ‘‘the
cessation of practices which deprive the Tibetan people of
their fundamental human rights and freedoms, including
their right to self-determination’’;
Whereas the People’s Republic of China has failed to provide
Tibetans in Tibetan autonomous areas any genuine polit-
ical autonomy;
Whereas in 1992 the People’s Republic of China designated
Tibet as a special economic zone for the express purpose
of encouraging Chinese resettlement in Tibet, which
would in time make Tibetans a minority in their own
homeland;
Whereas the People’s Republic of China appears unwilling to
negotiate a new agreement with Tibet that would guar-
antee genuine political autonomy to Tibetans;
Whereas the Dalai Lama has repeatedly endorsed a com-
promise that would guarantee Tibetans broad autonomy
within the People’s Republic of China;

RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives
regarding the restoration and protection of the Great Lakes.
Whereas the Great Lakes is the largest freshwater system on
Earth;
Whereas over 90 percent of the 29,000,000 United States
residents of the Great Lakes basin rely on the Great
Lakes for drinking water;
Whereas scientists have detected more than 360 contami-
nants in the Great Lakes ecosystem, many of which may
have a negative impact on plant, animal, and human life;
•HRES 357 IH
Whereas the authorities of Tibet who live in exile in
Dharamsala, India, administer all matters pertaining to
exiled Tibetans, including the preservation and develop-
ment of Tibetan culture and education, and the struggle
to restore the freedom of Tibet; and
Whereas the exiled authorities of Tibet are organized accord-
ing to modern democratic principles, which stands in
stark contrast to the autocratic rule presently exercised
over Tibet by the People’s Republic of China: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the President should give serious consid-
eration to recognizing the authorities of Tibet who are cur-
rently exiled in Dharamsala, India, as the legitimate rep-
resentatives of Tibet, if such authorities and the Govern-

within 3 years of the date of the adoption of this resolu-
