1ST SESSION
H. CON. RES. 64
Commending the members of the Armed Forces and civilian personnel of
the Government who served the United States faithfully during the
Cold War.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
APRIL 17, 1997
Mr. LAZIO of New York (for himself, Mr. SPENCE, and Mr. STUMP) submitted
the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee
on Government Reform and Oversight
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Commending the members of the Armed Forces and civilian
personnel of the Government who served the United
States faithfully during the Cold War.
Whereas, during the period of the Cold War, from the end
of World War II until the collapse of the Soviet Union
in 1991, the United States and the Soviet Union engaged
in a global military rivalry;
Whereas this rivalry, potentially the most dangerous military
confrontation in the history of mankind, has come to a
close without a direct superpower military conflict;
Whereas military and civilian personnel of the Department of
Defense, personnel in the intelligence community, mem-
bers of the foreign service, and other officers and employ-
•HCON 64 IH
ees of the United States faithfully performed their duties
during the Cold War;
Whereas many such personnel performed their duties while
isolated from family and friends and served overseas
under frequently arduous conditions in order to protect
the United States and achieve a lasting peace; and
Whereas the discipline and dedication of those personnel were
fundamental to the prevention of a superpower military
conflict: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That Congress hereby commends, and ex-
presses it gratitude and appreciation for, the service and
sacrifices of the members of the Armed Forces and civilian
personnel of the Government who contributed to the his-
toric victory in the Cold War.

Whereas Americans working aboard United States-flag do-
mestic vessels and in related domestic industries pay
$1,100,000,000 annually in Federal income taxes and an-
other $272,000,000 in State income taxes, revenue which
will be lost if foreign vessels and foreign crews are al-
lowed to enter America’s domestic trades;
Whereas the domestic maritime industry provides a signifi-
cant source of employment to maintain a cadre of well
trained, loyal American citizen merchant mariners ready
and able to respond, as always, to our Nation’s call in
time of war or other emergency; and
Whereas the Jones Act and related statutes are necessary be-
cause the construction and repair of the United States-
flag domestic merchant fleet provides the primary source
of commercial shipbuilding opportunities for American
shipyards and their workforce, helping to maintain the
shipyard mobilization base necessary to America’s na-
tional security: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that sec-
tion 27 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920 (46 App.
U.S.C. 883), popularly known as the Jones Act, and relat-
ed statutes are critically important components of our Na-
tion’s economic and military security and should be fully
and strongly supported.

high alert;
Whereas the threat of North-South military confrontation be-
tween the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the
Republic of Korea is of grave concern to the United
States;
Whereas 37,000 United States troops are stationed on the
Korean Peninsula;
Whereas the United States and the Republic of Korea have
long had a close relationship based on mutual respect,
shared security goals, and shared interests;
Whereas as a result of an invitation extended last year by
President Clinton and Republic of Korea President Kim

United States, the Republic of Korea, the Democratic
