CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the 30th anniversary of the historic visit of
President Richard Nixon to China, and commending
President George W. Bush for his effort to continue
to advance a political, cultural, and economic relationship
between the United States and China.
Whereas February 21, 2002, marked the 30th anniversary of
the historic visit of President Richard Nixon to China;
Whereas on February 21, 1972, the world watched as Air
Force One, a Boeing 707 carrying President Richard
Nixon, landed in China to inaugurate a new era in rela-
tions between the United States and China;
•HCON 365 IH
Whereas in that same year, the Civil Aviation Administration
of China ordered 10 Boeing 707 jet aircraft, marking the
resumption of a vibrant trading relationship between the
United States and China; and
Whereas the visit of President George W. Bush to China on
February 21, 2002, commemorated the importance of the
reopening of political and economic ties with China: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That Congress—
(1) recognizes that the historic visit of Presi-
dent Richard Nixon to China in 1972 provided the

Mrs. MYRICK (for herself, Mrs. CUBIN, and Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia)
submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Government Reform
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Honoring the life and work of Susan B. Anthony.
Whereas Susan B. Anthony was committed to the ideal of
equality for all people;
Whereas Susan B. Anthony recognized the rights of unborn
children; and
Whereas Susan B. Anthony dedicated her life to protecting
the rights of women and unborn children: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That Congress honors the life and work of
Susan B. Anthony.

•HCON 368 IH
Whereas the Department of Defense issued a report in 1993
titled ‘‘A Review of the Continued Requirement for Draft
Registration’’, which stated that draft registration could
be suspended without irreparable damage to national se-
curity;
Whereas each branch of the Armed Forces has traditionally
been able to meet or exceed its recruitment targets;
Whereas the recent success of the Armed Forces in Afghani-
stan has once again demonstrated the ability of the vol-
unteer military to respond to threats to the lives, liberty,
and property of the people of the United States;
Whereas a military draft introduces tensions and rivalries be-
tween those who volunteer for military service and those
who have been conscripted, thus undermining the cohe-
siveness of military units, which is vital to military effec-
tiveness;
Whereas those individuals who are forced to serve in the mili-
tary are unlikely to choose the military as a career or to
share the same enthusiasm for military service as those
who volunteer;
Whereas the most effective method of meeting the personnel
needs of the Armed Forces is to increase the pay and
benefits of veterans and members of the Armed Forces;
Whereas General Vladisova Putlin, Chief of the Russian Gen-
eral Staff, commenting on plans to end the military draft
in Russia, said ‘‘This is the great dream of all service-
men, when our army will become completely profes-
sional’’;
Whereas the reinstatement of the military draft in the United
States is opposed by leaders and organizations of various
political affiliations, including former President Ronald
•HCON 368 IH
Reagan, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan,
Noble laureates Milton Friedman and James Buchanan,
former Senator Bill Bradley, the American Civil Liberties
Union, Minnesota Governor and former Navy SEAL,
Jesse Ventura, Americans for Tax Reform, the National
Taxpayers Union, Citizens Against Government Waste,
the Friends Committee on National Legislation, United
Methodist Church General Board of Church and Society,
Veterans for Peace, the Libertarian Party, the Mennonite
Church, and the Conservative Caucus;
Whereas the military draft violates the principles of liberty on
which the United States was founded; and
Whereas compulsory military service is a form of involuntary
servitude: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that rein-
stating the military draft or implementing any other form
of compulsory military service in the United States would
be detrimental to the long-term military interests of the
United States, violative of individual liberties protected by
the Constitution, and inconsistent with the values under-
lying a free society as expressed in the Declaration of
Independence.

Calling upon Yasser Arafat and the leaders of other countries in the Middle
East to accept the existence of Israel.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 20, 2002
Mr. SAXTON submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Calling upon Yasser Arafat and the leaders of other countries
in the Middle East to accept the existence of Israel.
Whereas the United States seeks peace with security for
Israel and the Palestinian people;
Whereas ongoing terrorist attacks against Israel have created
conditions that threaten both the Jewish State and re-
gional peace;
Whereas Israel currently relies upon territories captured in
the course of previous defensive wars to protect itself
against renewed attacks;
Whereas in the absence of a genuine commitment to peaceful
coexistence with Israel on the part of the Palestinian peo-
ple and Israel’s historic enemies, the relinquishing of
•HCON 369 IH
such territories by Israel could give rise to new and po-
tentially mortal threats to the Jewish State;
Whereas under Yasser Arafat, the Palestine Liberation Orga-
nization, at the 12th Session of the Palestinian National
Council held in Cairo, Egypt in 1974, adopted a ‘‘Plan
of Phases’’ which envisioned a 3-step approach for the
destruction of the State of Israel; and
Whereas the Palestinian National Authority routinely uses a
map of ‘‘Palestine’’ in its offices, on the uniforms of its
personnel, on its web site, and in the textbooks used to
teach Palestinian children, in which Israel does not exist
but is represented as part of the nation of ‘‘Palestine’’:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) calls upon Yasser Arafat to embrace a vi-
sion for a genuine and just peace in the Middle East
by formally renouncing any map of Palestine that
denies the existence of the State of Israel; and
(2) calls upon the leaders of Saudi Arabia,
Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, and other
nations that have historically been enemies of Israel,
many of whom will be meeting in Beirut on March
27, and 28, 2002, to express their commitment to
peaceful coexistence with Israel through a similar
public expression of accepting the existence of Israel.

dependent upon action of the United States Government 
for a fair resolution of their claims; 
Whereas in 1979 the Chinese Government settled the claims 
of United States citizens whose property was confiscated 
or nationalized by the Government of the People’s Repub-
lic of China in 1949 or thereafter; 
Whereas the Chinese Government has refused to resolve the 
claims of United States citizens who hold Chinese Gov-
ernment bonds issued prior to 1950 and on which that 
Government has defaulted; 
Whereas in 1987 the Chinese Government reached a settle-
ment with the Government of the United Kingdom on be-
half of British holders of similar defaulted Chinese Gov-
ernment bonds; 
Whereas the People’s Republic of China is one of the largest 
holders of United States Treasury notes and bonds; 
Whereas United States markets are fully open for commercial 
access by China; 
Whereas the Chinese Government and its instrumentalities 
rightfully expect the United States Government to honor 
official United States Government commitments to pay 
its obligations of the United States held by Chinese citi-
zens; and 
Whereas United States bondholders should similarly expect 
the Chinese Government to honor its longstanding com-
mitments to pay its obligations on those bonds: Now, 
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That the United States Government should 
take appropriate action to urge the Government of the

Whereas the Diabetes Research Working Group, a non-

has recommended an increase in Federal funding for dia-
