CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Condemning anti-Semitic vandalism in Westchester County,
New York.
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring),
Whereas several homes in Mamaroneck, New York, were van-
dalized with anti-Semitic graffiti in September;
Whereas, early in 1996, several other homes in the Orienta
Point section of Mamaroneck were targeted with anti-Se-
mitic symbols and slurs;
Whereas several other incidents of anti-Semitism have
plagued Westchester County this year, including swas-
tikas painted on nature trails in Mamaroneck and carved
in a table at Larchmont Public Library;
HCON 231 IH
Whereas community leaders in Westchester County have
joined together to condemn these vicious acts of hatred;
Whereas more must be done to combat anti-Semitism and
bigotry in our communities; and
Whereas every State should adopt legislation modeled after
Federal law that enhances criminal penalties for hate
crimes: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

(1) condemns acts of anti-Semitic vandalism in
Westchester County and throughout the country;

Expressing the sense of the Congress that the war in Chechnya is of concern
to the United States and that President Clinton should not attend
the United States-Russia Summit in Moscow in May 1995 until the
Chechen situation has been resolved.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 7, 1995
Mr. ROEMER submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the war in
Chechnya is of concern to the United States and that
President Clinton should not attend the United States-
Russia Summit in Moscow in May 1995 until the
Chechen situation has been resolved.
Whereas Russian troops advanced into Chechnya on Decem-
ber 10, 1994, and were met with strong resistance from
Chechen rebels who have since moved to the Caucasus
mountains where they are engaged in what even the most
optimistic Russian military officers predict will be a
drawn-out guerrilla war;
Whereas the cost of the Chechen battle is estimated to cost
Russia at least $2,000,000,000 and will further exacer-
bate the budget deficit of the Russian Government;
•HCON 25 IH
Whereas the budget implications of the Chechen battle may
compel the International Monetary Fund, in which the
United States is the largest shareholder, to abandon its
efforts to assist Russia in the transformation to a free-
market economy;
Whereas 
the 
United 
States 
has 
approved 
over
$2,400,000,000 in loan guarantees through the Export-
Import Bank of the United States and the Overseas Pri-
vate Investment Corporation;
Whereas the United States has provided Russia with signifi-
cant direct assistance to promote a free-market economy,
support democracy, meet humanitarian needs, and dis-
mantle nuclear weapons;
Whereas United States investment in Russia has been signifi-
cant in promoting democracy and stabilizing the Russian
economy, and this progress is imperiled and undermined
by Russia’s continued war with Chechnya;
Whereas President Yeltsin has refused to negotiate an end to
this crisis, and this action illustrates an indifference to
the economic implications the Chechen war would bring
to bear on Russia’s ability to fulfill its commitments to
the International Monetary Fund, Overseas Private In-
vestment Corporation, and the Export-Import Bank of
the United States; and
Whereas Russia’s involvement in Chechnya shows an alarm-
ing disregard for the principles of economic cooperation
contained in the Partnership for Economic Progress that
was agreed upon at the United States-Russia Summit in
Washington in September 1994: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
•HCON 25 IH
(1) the war in Chechnya is of concern to the
United States; and
(2) President Clinton should not attend the

1995 until the Chechen situation has been resolved.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a postage stamp
should be issued to honor the 100th anniversary of the
Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America.
Whereas the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of
America, an organization of patriotic Americans dedi-
cated to highlighting the role of Jews in the United
States Armed Forces, will celebrate 100 years of patriotic
service to the Nation on March 15, 1996;
Whereas thousands of Jews have proudly served the Nation
in times of war;
Whereas thousands of Jews have died in combat while serving
in the United States Armed Forces;
•HCON 26 IH
Whereas, in World War II alone, Jews received more than
52,000 awards for outstanding service in the United
States Armed Forces, including the Medal of Honor, the
Air Medal, the Silver Star, and the Purple Heart;
Whereas, in World War II alone, over 11,000 Jews died in
combat while serving in the United States Armed Forces;
Whereas members of the Jewish War Veterans of the United
States of America have volunteered over 10,000,000
hours at veterans’ hospitals; and
Whereas honoring the sacrifices of Jewish veterans is an im-
portant component of recognizing the strong and patri-
otic role Jews have played in the United States Armed
Forces: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) a postage stamp should be issued to honor
the 100th anniversary of the Jewish War Veterans
of the United States of America; and
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee of
the United States Postal Service should recommend
