Expressing the sense of the Congress that any legislation that is enacted
to provide for comprehensive national health care reform should provide
for coverage of syringes for individuals who have been diagnosed with
diabetes and who require the administration of insulin by syringe.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Ms. FURSE submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
jointly to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that any legislation
that is enacted to provide for comprehensive national
health care reform should provide for coverage of sy-
ringes for individuals who have been diagnosed with dia-
betes and who require the administration of insulin by
syringe.
Whereas more than 14,000,000 individuals in the United
States have diabetes;
Whereas diabetes contributes to more than 160,000 deaths
annually in the United States;
Whereas 
diabetes 
costs 
the 
Nation 
approximately
$92,000,000,000 annually in direct and indirect medical
costs;
•HCON 223 IH
Whereas diabetes disproportionately affects Hispanic, Native
American, African-American, and other medically under-
served populations;
Whereas approximately 10 percent of individuals with diabe-
tes require the injection of insulin to manage the disease;
Whereas research has proven that frequent administration of
insulin prevents certain complications of diabetes, such as
blindness, kidney disease, heart disease, stroke, and the
need for amputation;
Whereas sterile syringes are necessary to safely administer
insulin by injection; and
Whereas most health care benefit plans currently provide cov-
erage for sterile syringes to administer insulin: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that any
legislation that is enacted to provide for comprehensive na-
tional health care reform should provide for coverage of
syringes for individuals in the United States who have
been diagnosed with diabetes and who require the adminis-
tration of insulin by syringe.

Whereas Victoria Van Meter will represent the youth of the

Whereas, in States with unemployment rates that are at least
110 percent of the national average, it is far more dif-
ficult to find a job;
Whereas, in addition to the roughly 5,000,000 families who
are currently receiving aid to families with dependent
children (AFDC), there are approximately 8,700,000 peo-
ple who are actively looking for work, and another
6,000,000 jobless who are discouraged from looking for
work;
Whereas only 7 percent of the roughly 5,000,000 families re-
ceiving AFDC are headed by a mother who works even
part-time;
Whereas AFDC parents trying to get work and get off wel-
fare face the realities of a labor market that is increas-
ingly dominated by low-wage, part-time, and temporary
jobs that cannot support a family;
Whereas AFDC is the major cash welfare program for fami-

Whereas requiring AFDC recipients to find a job within a
certain time discriminates against those who receive ben-

rates;
Whereas private sector jobs, public sector jobs, and commu-

Concerning the 27th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 17, 1994
Mr. SCHUMER submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Concerning the 27th anniversary of the reunification of
Jerusalem.
Whereas for 3,000 years Jerusalem has been the focal point
of Jewish religious devotion;
Whereas Jerusalem is also considered a holy city by the mem-
bers of other religious faiths;
Whereas the once thriving Jewish majority of the historic Old
City of Jerusalem was driven out by force during the
1948 Arab-Israeli War;
Whereas from 1948 to 1967 Jerusalem was a divided city
and Israeli citizens of all faiths as well as Jewish citizens
of all states were denied access to holy sites in the area
controlled by Jordan;
Whereas in 1967 Jerusalem was reunited during the conflict
known as the Six Day War;
•HCON 225 IH
Whereas since 1967 Jerusalem has been a united city admin-
istered by Israel and persons of all religious faiths have
been guaranteed full access to holy sites within the city;
Whereas this year marks the 27th year that Jerusalem has
been administered as a unified city in which the rights
of all faiths have been respected and protected;
Whereas in 1990 the United States Senate and House of
Representatives overwhelmingly adopted Senate Concur-
rent Resolution 106 and House Concurrent Resolution
290 declaring that Jerusalem, the capital of Israel,
‘‘must remain an undivided city’’;
Whereas subsequent statements by the Government of the
United States, including support for United Nations Se-
curity Council Resolutions 681 and 726, have raised un-
derstandable concern in Israel that Jerusalem might one
day be redivided and access to religious sites in Jerusa-
lem denied to Israeli citizens of all faiths and Jewish citi-
zens of other states; and
Whereas such concerns inhibit and complicate the search for
a lasting peace in the region: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) congratulates the residents of Jerusalem
and the people of Israel on the 27th anniversary of
the reunification of that historic city;
(2) strongly believes that Jerusalem must re-
main an undivided city in which the rights of every
ethnic and religious group are protected as they
have been by Israel during the past 27 years; and

(3) calls upon the President and the Secretary
of State to issue an unequivocal statement in sup-
port of these principles.

Mr. DORNAN submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to
protecting the privacy rights of Federal employees.
Whereas executive branch departments and agencies have
been known to officially recognize, encourage, promote,
and fund homosexual events and homosexuality, both
male and female, without explicit congressional mandate;
and
Whereas that type of official recognition, encouragement, pro-
motion, and funding, at taxpayer expense, is question-
able, given that—
(1) homosexuality is not a fundamental constitu-
tional right;
HCON 227 IH
(2) there is no clear evidence that persons are de-
prived of educational or economic opportunities by rea-
son of their homosexuality; and
(3) equating homosexuality with race, color, or gen-
der is highly offensive, particularly to many minority
group members and women who have had to struggle to
secure social opportunity and certain basic rights: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) executive branch departments and agencies
should not officially recognize, encourage, promote,
or fund homosexual events or homosexuality, directly
or indirectly, male or female, without explicit con-
gressional mandate;
(2) the Office of Personnel Management should
administer the civil service system in a way such
that quotas, minority status, affirmative action, and
other similar concepts do not apply with respect to
homosexuality or any claim thereof; and
(3) no person should be required to comply
with, participate in, or endorse any employee sen-
sitivity training or education relating to homosexual-
ity or cultural diversity, or other similar program, as
