H. CON. RES. 47
Concerning criminal aliens.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 23, 1993
Mr. BEILENSON submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Concerning criminal aliens.
Whereas the Federal Government has sole jurisdiction over
the enforcement of United States immigration laws;
Whereas the Federal Government has failed to enforce such
laws adequately, resulting in the unlawful entry into the
United States of millions of illegal immigrants each year;
Whereas the Federal Government also has sole jurisdiction
over the deportation of immigrant aliens who have been
convicted of certain felonies;
Whereas illegal and legal immigrants represent a substantial
portion of the prison populations of several States and
local communities in the United States;
Whereas the presence of large numbers of criminal aliens has
placed an enormous financial burden on the criminal jus-
tice systems of the affected communities;
•HCON 47 IH
Whereas Congress recognized this burden in the Immigration
Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), and called for
the ‘‘expeditious deportation’’ by the Federal Government
of convicted aliens;
Whereas IRCA also called for the reimbursement to States
for costs incurred for the imprisonment of illegal aliens;
and
Whereas none of the commitments made by Congress in
IRCA to alleviate the burden of criminal aliens on States
and local communities have been fulfilled: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Federal Government should ac-
knowledge its responsibility to enforce United States im-
migration law, and that the Attorney General should es-
tablish as a priority, through the allocation of adequate
resources, the identification and deportation of criminal
aliens in an expeditious manner.

Expressing the sense of the Congress in favor of the more

purposes of any deficit-reduction measures.
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

seeking to reduce the Federal deficit, any proposal which
would diminish, defer, or otherwise adversely affect peri-
odic cost-of-living adjustments in benefits provided under

Concerning the appointment of a special envoy to Northern Ireland.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 23, 1993
Mr. KENNEDY submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Concerning the appointment of a special envoy to Northern
Ireland.
Whereas the list of human rights abuses involving the British
Government is lengthy and well documented as evidenced
by recent reports from the Norwegian Helsinki Commit-
tee, Amnesty International, and the International Hel-
sinki Watch Committee;
Whereas 40 people have been killed since the beginning of the
year, the highest death rate attributable to political strife
in Northern Ireland since 1975;
Whereas the violence will only continue to escalate unless
meaningful, all-inclusive peace talks are initiated by the
British Government to address the conflict in Northern
Ireland;
HCON 49 IH
Whereas there has been a long standing and warm alliance
between the United States and Great Britain which has
been a source of stability and comfort to the people of
both nations, especially during this time of rapidly shift-
ing international alliances;
Whereas the political and judicial principles which guide the
Nation today, including safeguards painstakingly hewn
from the British Magna Carta, urgently compel us to
speak out against inequity and abuse no matter where in
the world it occurs;
Whereas America’s unending commitment to fairness and de-
cency does not distinguish between friend and enemy,
criminal or prosecutor, and the American covenant of de-
mocracy commits us to protest any wrongdoing and
confront any injustice;
Whereas the turmoil and bloodshed will not come to an end
until the British authorities, including the military and
security forces, are prepared to protect and defend the
human rights of all the people of Northern Ireland;
Whereas the United States has taken an active leadership
role to encourage peace in the conflict between Iraq and
Kuwait, the civil conflict in El Salvador, the conflict be-
tween Israel and her neighbors, and elsewhere in the
world, but has failed to assume a similar role in the con-
flict in the north of Ireland; and
Whereas as an ally and a friend, the United States has a
unique opportunity to insist that Great Britain adhere to
recognized standards of international law in Northern
Ireland, and as a leading power in the world community,
the United States has a special responsibility to do so:
Now, therefore, be it
HCON 49 IH
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
President should appoint a special envoy who will be per-
sonally and actively involved in bringing about a solution
to the present conflict in Northern Ireland, including en-
couraging and facilitating negotiations among all parties
to the conflict who agree to end the use of violence.

(2) Foreign drug cartels have used brutal tac-
tics of violence and the threat of violence against 
United States citizens to protect and expand their 
drug trade and as well as their areas of operation. 
In September 2010, American David Hartley was 
shot by the Mexican drug cartel, the Zetas, while jet 
skiing, because he unknowingly came too close to 
their avenues for drug smuggling across Falcon 
Lake in Texas. In February 2011, Special Agent 
Jaime Zapata, an Immigrations and Customs Agent, 
was murdered by the Zetas while on duty in Mexico. 
These are only two cases of many where American 
lives have been lost or threatened due to the actions 
of drug cartels. 
(3) When Americans at home and abroad, in-
cluding agents assigned to protect United States 
borders and national security, are targeted, threat-
ened, and attacked by such foreign entities, it serves 
a continual threat to the safety and security of the 
United States and its people. 
(4) The Mexican drug cartels meet all of the 
legal criteria for designation as foreign terrorist or-
ganizations under section 219 of the Immigration 
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189):

‘‘(2) with respect to the procurement of bone
marrow, the program provides that the Director is to

cians; and
‘‘(4) the program meets such other criteria as the

‘‘(k) RECRUITMENT OF DONORS.—For purposes of sub-
section (b)(5), a program for the recruitment of bone mar-
row donors is established in accordance with this subsection
if—
‘‘(1) in recruiting an individual to enroll in the
Registry, and in each subsequent stage of the process
of recruitment, the program provides to the individ-
ual information regarding the possibility that, if it is
determined that it is medically inappropriate for the
individual to be a donor for the patient involved, a
sibling of the individual may nevertheless be a medi-
cally appropriate donor for the patient;
‘‘(2) in the case of an individual who is enrolled
with the Registry, the program provides for annual
(or more frequent) informational mailings to each
such individual, which mailings concern the status of
the activities of the Registry;

counselors to meet individually with individuals who
are so enrolled and who, pursuant to the Registry,
have been requested to undergo confirmatory testing
pursuant to a search for bone marrow for a particu-

‘‘(4) in the case of an individual described in
paragraph (3), the program provides to the individ-
ual a general description of the medical condition of
the patient involved and an assessment of the possibil-
ity that the individual is a medically appropriate
donor for the patient; and
‘‘(5) the program meets such other criteria as the
Secretary may establish.’’.

Expressing the sense of Congress that Federal mandates to States should

for them.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 24, 1993
Mr. DREIER submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Government Operations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that Federal mandates
to States should be rescinded unless they are accom-
panied by sufficient funds to pay for them.
Whereas the burden of Federal mandates on State and local
governments has increased precipitously in recent years;
Whereas State and local spending on mandatory programs
has increased from 30 percent in 1962 to 50 percent in
1992;
Whereas cost estimates of this burden to the States range
from $15,000,000,000 to $500,000,000,000;
Whereas the mandates for Medicaid alone cost the States
$44,000,000,000 in 1992;
Whereas mandates are a tool to create Government programs
despite Federal spending limits and lead to more Govern-
•HCON 51 IH
ment than would arise if the Federal Government had to
pay for the programs it required;
Whereas actions of the Federal Government that directly or
indirectly prescribe the manner, standards, level, and
conditions of public service to be provided by State and
local governments are often taken with little regard for
the fiscal consequences of such actions upon the affected
State and local jurisdictions;
Whereas such mandates force State and local governments to
exhaust scarce public resources to comply with their re-
quirements;
Whereas mandates detract from the ability of State and local
governments to use local public resources to meet local
needs;
Whereas forcing States to implement and fund Federal man-
dates compromises the goals of Federal regulations and
places States in the precarious position of either attempt-
ing to fund the Federal requirements with diminishing
amounts of available revenue or jeopardizing eligibility
for certain Federal funds;
Whereas Federal regulations are best carried out by Federal
agencies, not State and local governments; and
Whereas this excessive fiscal burden has weakened the Fed-
eral system of Government and damaged intergovern-
mental relations: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That Congress should refrain from imposing
future mandates on States, and it should either rescind
previous mandates on States or provide the necessary
funds to carry out the requirements of the mandates.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress concerning the opportunity

Whereas a civic-minded spirit has taken hold across the coun-
try that advocates substantive change in the conduct of
our Government;
Whereas this enthusiasm, as evidenced by last November’s
election and by the electorate’s heightened attention to
public policy issues, is widespread;
Whereas our President has called on all Americans to be ‘‘ar-
chitects of the future’’ and ‘‘agents of change’’—a call
which should be taken up first and foremost by those who
are the elected leaders of America;

•HCON 53 IH
Whereas the American people, representing every political af-
filiation as well as those with no such affiliation, seek and
deserve fuller participation in the issues of the day;
Whereas the problems that confront our Nation—including
budget concerns, the health care system, gun- and drug-
related crime—demand that lawmakers spend more time
listening to the concerns of our constituents;
Whereas urgent issues confront the entire community of our
Nation, and should therefore be viewed in an atmosphere
undistorted by those who present a limited perspective on
these concerns;
Whereas officeholders have felt compelled to spend increasing
amounts of time and energy securing the funds they need
to remain politically viable;
Whereas the cost of campaigning for election to the House
and Senate has risen to such levels that, if allowed to
continue, could belie our own arguments that Govern-
ment and American families must become more frugal;
and
Whereas the House is designed to be a people’s house, a sta-
tus which would be best achieved when its membership
is made more accessible to and reflective of citizen-legis-
lators of all economic backgrounds: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

(1) campaign finance reform corresponds to the
current national spirit,
(2) we have a unique—but fleeting opportunity
to capitalize on this spirit of reform,
•HCON 53 IH
(3) this issue should be taken up with full,
speedy, and serious consideration,
(4) a meaningful campaign finance reform bill
will provide for voluntary spending limits, will limit
contributions by political action committees, and will
encourage increased debate among candidates,
(5) an effective campaign finance reform bill
will enable the true work of Congress to proceed
with more efficiency as Members will be free to
spend more time on the issues vital to the public,
and
(6) a true campaign finance reform bill will re-
flect a commitment to no special interest group but
one—the American people.
