Expressing the need for the Senate to provide advice and

Whereas human actions are contributing to an unprecedented

Whereas the United States, under current domestic law, is al-

vention; 
Whereas Federal agencies often design their plans to align 
with Convention on Biological Diversity initiatives; 
Whereas the absence of the United States from the Conven-
tion on Biological Diversity limits the United States to 
holding the status of an ‘‘observer’’ to deliberations and 
decision making processes of the Convention on Biodiver-
sity; 
Whereas, not being party to the Convention on Biological Di-
versity, the United States does not have a vote within the 
convention, which diminishes our voice and influence; 
Whereas the decisions and rules made by the Convention on 
Biological Diversity affect both national security and eco-
nomic interests of the United States in spite of the 
United States non-party status; 
Whereas the United States is one of the world’s largest con-
tributors in international conservation funding and bio-
logical diversity expertise; and 
Whereas we are inextricably interconnected on this planet, 
and the work of the Convention on Biological Diversity 
has a direct impact on all Americans: Now, therefore, be

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

and Cambodia despite ongoing investigation and recovery 
efforts; 
Whereas some 72,500 United States personnel remain unac-
counted for throughout Europe, China, and Japan after 
sacrificing their lives during World War II; and 
Whereas nearly 7,800 members of the United States Armed 
Forces are still missing and unaccounted for on the Ko-
rean Peninsula after bravely serving during the Korean 
War: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that all trade 
agreements the United States enters into, should provide 
reasonable access and collaboration of each nation involved 
in such an agreement, for the purpose of search, investiga-
tion, and recovery activities relating to United States per-
sonnel missing and unaccounted for from prior wars or 
military conflicts.
