Whereas 31 to 37 million Americans do not have adequate

Expressing the sense of the Congress that a commemorative
postage stamp should be issued to honor Americans held
as prisoners of war or listed as missing in action.
Whereas millions of Americans have proudly served their
country in times of war this century;
Whereas thousands of these Americans were captured by the

Whereas many American prisoners of war were subjected to
brutal and inhumane treatment by their captors in viola-
tion of international codes and customs for the treatment
of prisoners of war, and many prisoners of war died from
this treatment;
Whereas there are over eighty-eight thousand missing Amer-
ican service personnel from World War II, the Korean

ing their fates has caused their families to suffer acute
hardships; and
Whereas public awareness of the sacrifices that have been
and may continue to be made by Americans held as pris-
oners of war or listed as missing in action and by their
families is critical to advancing efforts to obtain the re-
turn of missing American service personnel: Now, there-

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Concerning United States policy relating to the north of
Ireland.
Whereas the nation of Ireland was partitioned in 1921 with-
out sanction and in contravention of the expressed wishes
of an overwhelming majority of its people;
Whereas this partition of the six counties of the north of Ire-
land from the remainder of Ireland resulted in the insti-
tutionalization of discrimination and violence against
such community artificially created by the partition and
in the denial of such community’s democratic rights and
right to self-determination;
Whereas the civil rights movement founded in the 1960s by
the minority community in the north of Ireland—which

Martin Luther King, Jr. in the United States—was vio-
lently suppressed;
Whereas in the past 25 years over 3,000 individuals have
been killed and over 25,000 individuals wounded in this
conflict in the north of Ireland;
Whereas numerous violations of international law, human and
civil rights abuses, and suppression of free speech and
peaceful assembly have been found to exist in the north
of Ireland by the United Nations Human Rights Com-
mission, the European Court of Human Rights, and
scores of independent inquiries;
Whereas despite more than 20 years of initiatives, including
the accords reached at Sunningdale and Hillsborough and
ongoing peace-talks, no progress in achieving a resolution
of the conflict has resulted and the incidence of human
rights violations has continued unabated, as documented
in recent reports by Amnesty International and Helsinki
Watch;
Whereas this conflict has escalated and expanded beyond the
borders of the six counties of the north of Ireland and
now presents an immediate and continuous threat to the
peace and security of the entire region;
Whereas for more than 200 years, the people of the United
States have supported the legitimate aspirations of self-
determination and democracy of peoples throughout the
world and, on March 24, 1993, Secretary of State War-
ren Christopher declared respect for human rights to be
a cornerstone of United States foreign policy; and
Whereas the United Nations, through its Special Committee
on Decolonization, has, in the past 3 decades, helped to

bring peace, stability, and self-determination to numerous
former colonies throughout the world: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the policy of the United States concerning
the six counties of the north of Ireland should be
consistent with the policy of the United States con-
cerning other areas of the world where people are
seeking democratic reform and self-determination;
and
(2) the President, in the interests of peace, jus-
tice, and democracy, should forcefully advocate Unit-
ed Nations diplomatic intervention and involvement
in the peace-making process in the six counties of
the north of Ireland.

Mr. SERRANO submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was

Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the
expression of self-determination by the people of Puerto Rico.
Whereas the people of Puerto Rico are natural-born citizens
of the United States but do not enjoy all of the individual
rights and liberties accorded to other American citizens
under the United States Constitution;
Whereas the future status of Puerto Rico remains under dis-
cussion among residents of the Island of Puerto Rico and
among Puerto Ricans residing in the 50 States of the
United States; and
Whereas the Charter of the United Nations, a treaty to which
the United States is a signatory, expresses the right of
self-determination, that is the right of a people to decide
for themselves the political status under which they live:
Now, therefore, be it
•HCON 94 IH
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) reaffirms the commitment of the people of
the United States to the principle of self-determina-

(2) reasserts the principle, first articulated by
the Congress in its ratification of the Charter of the
United Nations, that with respect to territories
whose peoples have not yet attained a full measure
of self-government, the interests of the inhabitants
of such territories are paramount; and
