2D SESSION 
H. RES. 510
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with respect to free 
trade negotiations that could adversely impact the sugar industry of 
the United States. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 3, 2004
Mr. KILDEE submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Ways and Means 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with 
respect to free trade negotiations that could adversely 
impact the sugar industry of the United States.
Whereas the President has concluded negotiations with El 
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua to form 
a Central American Free Trade Agreement (referred to 
in this resolution as ‘‘CAFTA’’), and is seeking to incor-
porate Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic into that 
agreement; 
Whereas CAFTA seeks to provide those countries with in-
creased access to the United States sugar market; 
Whereas simultaneously, the Administration has embarked on 
a multitude of free trade agreements with major sugar 
producing nations such as Australia, members of the
•HRES 510 IH 
South Africa Customs Union, Thailand, nations of the 
Western Hemisphere, and others, and has made it clear 
that access to the United States sugar market is on the 
negotiating table; 
Whereas the United States sugar market is already over-
supplied, with declining consumption forcing domestic 
sugar producers to store extremely high quantities of 
sugar; 
Whereas significant increases in sugar imports under CAFTA 
and other trade agreements currently under negotiation 
could render inoperable basic elements of the United 
States sugar program enacted under the Farm Security 
and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107–
171); 
Whereas effects on the United States sugar program would 
wreak havoc in the United States sugar industry, and re-
sult in the loss of thousands of jobs and farms involved 
in sugar production in 19 States across the country; and 
Whereas any constructive effort to address distortion in the 
world sugar market should be handled multilaterally 
through the World Trade Organization, in a manner that 
addresses comprehensively and simultaneously the sugar 
subsidy programs of all major world producers, and 
should not be handled through bilateral or regional agree-
ments: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the President should renegotiate provisions 
of CAFTA relating to access to the United States 
sugar market, so as to grant no greater access to
•HRES 510 IH 
the United States sugar market than is currently en-
joyed by the signatories to the agreement; and 
(2) the President should not include sugar as 
an element of negotiations in any bilateral or re-
gional free trade agreement.

Whereas the vast majority of individuals subjected to such 
stops and interventions based on race, ethnicity, or na-
tional origin are found to be law-abiding; 
Whereas racial profiling is, therefore, not an effective means 
to uncover criminal activity; 
Whereas racial profiling harms individuals subjected to it be-
cause the individuals experience fear, anxiety, humilia-
tion, anger, resentment, and cynicism when unjustifiably 
treated as criminal suspects; 
Whereas racial profiling damages the criminal justice system 
as a whole by undermining public confidence and trust in 
the police, the courts, and criminal law; 
Whereas President Bush, in his first address to a joint ses-
sion of Congress on February 27, 2001, said that the 
practice of racial profiling is wrong and pledged to end 
the practice; and 
Whereas Attorney General John Ashcroft, as recently as July 
25, 2002, made a commitment to work with Congress to 
get a bill to the President’s desk that will make clear that 
racial profiling is wrong and should be banned in the 
United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-

(1) Congress should enact legislation—

Mr. MCINTYRE (for himself and Mr. DUNCAN) submitted the following

RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
a day should be established as ‘‘National Tartan Day’’ 
to recognize the outstanding achievements and contribu-
tions made by Scottish Americans to the United States.
Whereas April 6 has a special significance for all Americans, 
and especially those Americans of Scottish descent, be-
cause the Declaration of Arbroath, the Scottish Declara-
tion of Independence, was signed on April 6, 1320, and 
the American Declaration of Independence was modeled 
in part on that inspirational document; 
Whereas this resolution honors the major role that Scottish 
Americans played in the founding of the Nation, such as 
the fact that almost half of the signers of the Declaration 
of Independence were of Scottish descent, the Governors
•HRES 514 IH 
in 9 of the original 13 States were of Scottish ancestry, 
Scottish Americans successfully helped shape the Nation 
in its formative years and guide it through its most trou-
bled times; 
Whereas this resolution recognizes the monumental achieve-
ments and invaluable contributions made by Scottish-
Americans that have led to America’s preeminence in the 
fields of science, technology, medicine, government, poli-
tics, economics, architecture, literature, media, and visual 
and performing arts; 
Whereas this resolution commends the more than 200 organi-
zations throughout the United States that honor Scottish 
heritage, tradition, and culture, representing the hun-
dreds of thousands of Americans of Scottish descent, re-
siding in every State, who already have made the observ-
ance of Tartan Day on April 6 a success; and 
Whereas these numerous individuals, clans, societies, clubs, 
and fraternal organizations do not let the great contribu-
tions of the Scottish people go unnoticed: Now, therefore, 
be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that a day should be established as ‘‘National 
Tartan Day’’ to recognize the outstanding achievements 
and contributions made by Scottish Americans to the

Whereas the use by some law enforcement agents of race, 
ethnicity, or national origin in deciding which persons

law enforcement interventions (referred to in this resolu-

Whereas statistical evidence from throughout the United

RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goals of National Manufacturing Week, con-
gratulating manufacturers and their employees for their 
contributions to growth and innovation, and recognizing 
the challenges facing the manufacturing sector.
Whereas for more than a century, the manufacturing sector 
has been the primary source of economic growth in the 
United States; 
Whereas manufacturing is central to both economic security 
and national security; 
Whereas every dollar in manufactured goods sold generates 
an additional $1.43 in intermediate economic activity, 
which is an output higher than that of any other eco-
nomic sector;
•HRES 516 IH 
Whereas manufacturers are responsible for almost 2⁄3 of all 
private-sector research and development conducted in the 
United States, which benefits other manufacturers and 
other industries; 
Whereas manufactured goods make up 62 percent of prod-
ucts exported from the United States, a number that is 
double the percentage of 10 years ago; 
Whereas in the last 20 years, manufacturing productivity has 
increased twice as much as productivity in other eco-
nomic sectors, enabling American manufacturers to pay 
employees higher wages and at the same time to compete 
in a world market; 
Whereas employees in the manufacturing sector are com-
pensated an average of more than $54,000 annually, the 
highest average compensation level in the private sector; 
Whereas the manufacturing sector has contributed signifi-
cantly to economic growth and tax receipts at all levels 
of government, paying 1⁄3 of all corporate taxes collected 
by State and local governments; and 
Whereas February 23–27 has been designated as National 
Manufacturing Week by the National Association of Man-

manufacturing to the United States economy: Now, 
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
