•HCON 95 IH
Whereas article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution of
the United States confers on Congress the power to de-

Whereas section 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50

Whereas the armed forces of the former Soviet Union, cur-

to be deployed on the territory of the sovereign and inde-
pendent Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania
against the wishes of the Baltic peoples and their govern-

Whereas the stationing of military forces on the territory of

Whereas the governments of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania
have demanded that the Russian Federation remove such

in Europe specifically calls for the conclusion, without
delay, of appropriate bilateral agreements, including
timetables, for the ‘‘early, orderly and complete with-
drawal of such foreign troops from the territories of the
Baltic states’’;
Whereas the United States is aware of the difficulties facing
the Russian Federation in resettling Russian soldiers and
their families in Russia, and that the lack of housing is
a factor in the expeditious removal of Russian troops;
Whereas the United States is committed to providing assist-
ance to the Russian Federation for construction of hous-
ing and job retraining for returning troops in an attempt
to help alleviate this burden; and
Whereas the United States is encouraged by the progress
achieved thus far in removal of such troops, and wel-
comes the agreement reached between the Russian Fed-
eration and Lithuania establishing the August 1993
deadline for troop removal: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

Whereas Department of Veterans Affairs medical research
has been at the forefront of medical advances in
diagnostics, therapeutics, and prosthetics, benefiting not
only veterans but society as a whole; and
Whereas at the fiscal year 1994 budget request level of
$206,000,000, the Department of Veterans Affairs medi-
cal research program would not be able to fund any new
research projects for the second year in a row and would
require major reductions in ongoing programs: Now,
therefore, be it
