RESOLUTION
Congratulating the people of India and Pakistan on the
occasion of the 50th anniversary of their nations’ inde-
pendence.
Whereas in August 1947 the people of Pakistan and India
gained their independence from the British;
Whereas the people of India, Pakistan, and the United States
have a common interest in the promotion and preserva-
tion of democratic systems of government;
Whereas since independence in 1947 the people of India have
maintained the world’s largest democracy, one that serves
as an inspiration for people throughout the world;
•HRES 157 IH
Whereas in recent years the people of Pakistan have re-
asserted their own strong commitment to building and
sustaining a democratic system of government;
Whereas, in addition to democracy, the people of Pakistan,
India, and the United States have had many shared val-
ues and interests over the past fifty years, including the
desire to promote the peaceful development of the South
Asian region;
Whereas Indian and Pakistani citizens, who have visited or
lived in the United States, and United States citizens,
who have visited or lived in India and Pakistan, have
done much to improve mutual understanding and build
friendship over the past fifty years;
Whereas United States citizens of Pakistani or Indian origin
have contributed greatly to the advancement of knowl-
edge, the development of the United States economy, and
the enrichment of cultural life in the United States;
Whereas the ties of trade and investment among the United
States, India, and Pakistan have grown over fifty years
to the great benefit of the people of all three countries;
and
Whereas the fiftieth anniversary of the independence of Paki-
stan and India offers an opportunity for India, Pakistan,
and the United States to renew their commitment to
international cooperation on issues of mutual interest and
concern: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) congratulates the people of India and Paki-
stan on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of
their nations’ independence;
•HRES 157 IH
(2) looks forward to broadening and deepening
United States cooperation and friendship with Paki-
stan and India in the years ahead for the benefit of
the people of all three countries; and
(3) intends to send a delegation to India and
Pakistan during this 50th anniversary year of inde-
pendence to further enhance the mutual understand-
ing among the United States, Pakistan, and India
and among the United States Congress and the par-
liaments of those countries.

H. RES. 158
To express the support of the House of Representatives for programs such
as the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 22, 1997
Mr. DREIER submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Education and the Workforce
RESOLUTION
To express the support of the House of Representatives
for programs such as the Jump$tart Coalition for Per-
sonal Financial Literacy.
Whereas at a time when more consumers are using credit
than ever before, the financial skills of young adults are
not adequate to cope with the rapid, technologically driv-
en development of new financial products and new ways
to deliver those products;
Whereas lack of financial management skills is a major cause
of rising consumer bankruptcies and family crises, and
generally impairs the health and welfare of the general
public;
Whereas it is critical that students and young adults develop
functional skills in money management, including basic
budgeting, savings, investing, spending, and income;
HRES 158 IH
Whereas the House of Representatives commends the
Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy for
its effort to promote personal financial literacy; and
Whereas the House of Representatives supports the Coali-
tion’s objective of promoting education to ensure that
basic personal management skills are attained during the
kindergarten through 12th grade educational experience:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of
Representatives that the goal of having young adults
who can enter the mainstream of an increasingly
complex financial world with confidence and pru-
dence is one which can be advanced through coordi-
nated efforts such as the Jump$tart Coalition for
Personal Financial Literacy.
Æ
HRES 15 IH
and United Nations Security Council Resolution 827 of
May 25, 1993, requires all states to cooperate fully with
the International Criminal Tribunal;
Whereas the parties to the Peace Agreement reaffirmed their
obligation ‘‘to cooperate in the investigation and prosecu-
tion of war crimes and other violations of international
humanitarian law’’;
Whereas as of January 6, 1997, the Tribunal has publicly in-
dicted 75 people, including 5 indictments for genocide
and 8 indictments for gang rape and enslavement of
women. Those indicted include 51 Bosnian Serbs, 18
Bosnian Croats (17 of whom fought with Bosnian Croat
forces and 1 of whom fought with Bosnian Serb forces),
3 Serbian Yugoslav Army officers, and 3 Bosniacs. The
highest ranking political and military figures indicted to
date are, respectively, Radovan Karadzic and Ratko
Mladic;
Whereas the Republika Srpska and the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) have failed to arrest
and turn over for prosecution persons indicted for war
crimes, including Karadzic and Mladic;
Whereas Bosnian Croats and Croatia have failed to arrest
and turn over for prosecution persons indicted for war
crimes, including Dario Kordic and Ivica Rajic;
Whereas the International Criminal Tribunal continues to in-
vestigate gross violations of international law in the
former Yugoslavia with a view toward issuing further in-
dictments;
Whereas individuals indicted for war crimes are known to re-
side openly and notoriously within some of the countries
of the former Yugoslavia;
