his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of
President of the United States and in violation of his
constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faith-
fully executed, has prevented, obstructed, and impeded

leading testimony under oath;
Whereas William Jefferson Clinton engaged personally and

investigation into and the disclosure of information about
the President’s improper and reprehensible relationship
with a subordinate Government employee; and

Whereas by engaging in the foregoing course of conduct, Wil-

to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and
to the manifest injury of the people of the United States:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives

That the Congress does hereby censure and condemn Wil-

ernous angioma, or cavernoma, is a devastating 
blood vessel disease characterized by vascular lesions 
that develop and grow within the brain and spinal 
cord. 
(2) Detection of CCM lesions is achieved 
through costly and specialized medical imaging tech-
niques, often not accessible or convenient to patients 
who need them. 
(3) While CCM is a common type of vascular 
anomaly, many individuals are not aware they have 
the disease until the onset of serious clinical symp-
toms. CCM is often inherited unknowingly. 
(4) CCM affects an estimated 1,500,000 people 
in the United States. 
(5) Individuals diagnosed with CCM may expe-
rience neurological deficits, seizure, stroke, or sud-
den death. 
(6) Due to limited research, there is currently 
no treatment for CCM other than brain and spinal 
surgery, and only for certain patients. There is also 
a shortage of trained physicians to provide skilled 
and timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment for 
CCM.
