H. CON. RES. 31
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the United States should support
the efforts of Greece, in its negotiations with the Former Yugoslav

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 16, 1995
Mrs. MALONEY (for herself and Mr. BILIRAKIS) submitted the following con-
current resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International
Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the United States
should support the efforts of Greece, in its negotiations
with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, to
find a solution which promotes a solid, cooperative rela-
tionship between these two neighboring countries and
that the United States should not establish formal diplo-
matic relations with the Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia until this relationship is established.
Whereas negotiations under the auspices of the United Na-
tions are currently being conducted pertaining to the
•HCON 31 IH
name and to other national symbols of the Former Yugo-
slav Republic of Macedonia;
Whereas all historical and archaeological evidence dem-
onstrates that the ancient Macedonians were Greeks and
Macedonia is a Greek name in origin;
Whereas in 1944 the name of the territory of the Former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was changed from
Vardar Banovina to Macedonia as part of the campaign
by Yugoslavia’s Communist dictator Tito to gain control
of the Greek province of Macedonia and the United
States opposed the use of the name Macedonia by Tito
at that time;
Whereas Greece was a valuable ally of the United States dur-
ing World War II and during the cold war;
Whereas Greece continues to be a valuable ally of the United
States in the Eastern Mediterranean as demonstrated by
its coalition role in the Persian Gulf conflict;
Whereas Greece has no claim on the territory of the Former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and has repeatedly
reaffirmed the inviolability of all borders in the area of
the two countries; and
Whereas it is in the interest of the United States to oppose
any expansionist or irredentist policies in order to pro-
mote peace and stability in such area: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the United States should use its influence
as a permanent member of the United Nations Secu-
rity Council to support the efforts of Greece, in its
•HCON 31 IH
negotiations with the Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia, to find a solution which promotes a
solid, cooperative relationship between these two
neighboring countries; and
(2) the United States should not establish for-
mal diplomatic relations with the Former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia until such a relationship is
established.

should be allowed to exercise the right of self-determina-
tion in their homeland, Punjab, Khalistan.
Whereas the Sikh nation declared independence on October
7, 1987;
Whereas freedom is universally recognized as the birthright
of all nations;
Whereas self-determination is enshrined in Article 1 of the
United Nations Charter;
Whereas the Sikhs ruled Punjab from 1765 until it was an-
nexed by the British in 1849;
Whereas an independent Sikh homeland is economically, mili-
tarily, and politically viable;
•HCON 32 IH
Whereas Khalistan will serve as a buffer state between India
and Pakistan;
Whereas Sikhs are committed to the principles of freedom,
justice, and democracy; and
Whereas an independent Sikh nation will help spread democ-
racy and economic prosperity throughout all of South
Asia: Now, therefore, be it

Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding a private visit by President
Lee Teng-hui of the Republic of China on Taiwan to the United States.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 6, 1995
Mr. LANTOS (for himself, Mr. SOLOMON, and Mr. TORRICELLI) submitted the
following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding a private
visit by President Lee Teng-hui of the Republic of China
on Taiwan to the United States.
Whereas United States diplomatic and economic security in-
terests in East Asia have caused the United States to
maintain a policy of recognizing the People’s Republic of
China while maintaining solidarity with the democratic
aspirations of the people of Taiwan;
Whereas the Republic of China on Taiwan (known as Tai-
wan) is the United States’ sixth largest trading partner
and an economic powerhouse buying more than twice as
much annually from the United States as do the
1,200,000,000 Chinese of the People’s Republic of China;
•HCON 33 IH
Whereas the American people are eager for expanded trade
opportunities with Taiwan, the possessor of the world’s
second largest foreign exchange reserves;
Whereas the United States interests are served by supporting
democracy and human rights abroad;
Whereas Taiwan is a model emerging democracy, with a free
press, free elections, stable democratic institutions, and
human rights protections;
Whereas vigorously contested elections conducted on Taiwan
in December 1994 were extraordinarily free and fair;
Whereas United States interests are best served by policies
that treat Taiwan’s leaders with respect and dignity;
Whereas President Lee Teng-hui of Taiwan, a Ph.D. grad-
uate of Cornell University, has been invited to pay a pri-
vate visit to his alma mater and to attend the annual
USA-ROC Economic Council Conference in Anchorage,
Alaska;
Whereas there is no legitimate policy grounds for excluding
the democratic leader of Asia’s oldest republic from pay-
ing private visits;
Whereas the Senate of the United States voted several times
in 1994 to welcome President Lee to visit the United
States; and
Whereas Public Law 103–416 provides that the President of
Taiwan shall be welcome in the United States at any
time to discuss a host of important bilateral issues: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
President should promptly indicate that the United States
•HCON 33 IH
will welcome a private visit by President Lee Teng-hui to
his alma mater, Cornell University, and will welcome a
transit stop by President Lee in Anchorage, Alaska, to at-
tend the USA–ROC Economic Council Conference.
SEC. 2. The Clerk of the House of Representatives
shall transmit a copy of this concurrent resolution to the

Concerning the 28th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 9, 1995
Mr. SCHUMER submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on International Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Concerning the 28th anniversary of the reunification of
Jerusalem.
Whereas for 3000 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 37 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 28th 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 28th 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 28 years; and
