RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regard-
ing the contributions of Tiger Woods and the Tiger
Woods Foundation.
Whereas although Tiger Woods is only 24 years old and in
only his fourth full year as a professional golfer, he has
four major championship titles among his victories;
Whereas Tiger Woods is the fifth player in history to win all
four major championships—the Masters tournament, the
•HRES 654 IH
United States Open, the British Open, and the Profes-
sional Golfers’ Association of America championship—
joining the ranks of Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary
Player, and Jack Nicklaus;
Whereas Tiger Woods can be compared with Jack Nicklaus
as being one of the greatest golfers of all time;
Whereas Tiger Woods has changed the standard by which ex-
cellence in golf is judged;
Whereas Tiger Woods has broken barriers with grace and
dignity by showing that golf is a sport for all people, re-
gardless of race, color, or creed;
Whereas Tiger Woods has inspired countless people of all
ages, impressing upon them that their hopes, dreams,
and prayers may be achieved through hard work, persist-
ence, education, and good sportsmanship;
Whereas in 1996, Tiger Woods established the Tiger Woods
Foundation, which financially supports communities and
organizations that nurture family values and adult in-
volvement in children’s lives; and
Whereas the Tiger Woods Foundation clinics give thousands
of youngsters golf lessons and also draw attention and
support to organizations that allow inner-city children ac-
cess to golf: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) honors and recognizes the achievements
made by Tiger Woods and the contributions of the
Tiger Woods Foundation in promoting excellence
and good sportsmanship and in breaking barriers
•HRES 654 IH
with grace and dignity by showing that golf is a
sport for all people; and

RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the future of Taiwan should be resolved peacefully
through a democratic mechanism and with the express

Whereas the principle of self-determination is enshrined in
Article 1 of the United Nations Charter;
Whereas that article encourages development of friendly rela-
tions among nations based on the principles of equal
rights and self-determination of peoples;
•HRES 659 IH
Whereas the United States and the international community
recognize that a right to self-determination exists as a
fundamental right of all people, as set forth in numerous
United Nations instruments of which the United States
is a signatory;
Whereas the people of Taiwan are committed to the prin-
ciples of freedom, justice, and democracy;
Whereas Taiwan has a defined territory, a defined popu-
lation, and the ability to enter into and keep inter-
national agreements;
Whereas on February 24, 2000, and March 8, 2000, Presi-
dent Clinton stated: ‘‘We will . . . continue to make ab-
solutely clear that the issues between Beijing and Taiwan
must be resolved peacefully and with the assent of the
people of Taiwan.’’; and
Whereas both the Republican party and the Democratic party
have recently emphasized in their respective platforms
that the future of Taiwan should be determined with the

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Government

by government forces in India, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 26, 2000
Mr. TOWNS submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the Government of India should take immediate steps
to end the human rights abuses by government forces
in India, and for other purposes.
Whereas significant human rights abuses exist in India de-
spite extensive constitutional and statutory safeguards;
Whereas these human rights abuses involve political killings
by government forces, including the deaths of persons
being held in custody, and the manipulation of physical
evidence to provide false justifications for the use of le-
thal force;
Whereas human rights abuses are particularly evident in the
state of Jammu and Kashmir and several northeastern
states in India;
•HRES 656 IH
Whereas the human rights abuses include the disappearance,
torture, and killing of people by government forces;
Whereas, although the Constitution of India provides for free-
dom of religion, violence and intolerance are perpetrated
against many religious groups in India, including Mus-
lims, Sikhs, Christians, and Hindus;
Whereas such violence and intolerance occur in many parts
of India, particularly at the state and local levels;
Whereas the failure of the Government of India to protect
these religious groups has abridged their right to reli-
gious freedom;
Whereas during the last 18 months Christians, in particular,
have been attacked or killed and have had their houses
of worship destroyed;
Whereas extensive legal and societal discrimination as well as
violence, including female bondage and forced prostitu-
tion, occur against women in India; and
Whereas the use of child labor in India remains a serious
human rights problem: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the Government of India should take imme-
diate steps to end the human rights abuses per-
petrated by government forces in India;
(2) the Government of India should enforce the
constitutional right to freedom of religion by pro-
tecting the people of India from religiously moti-
vated violence and intolerance;
•HRES 656 IH
(3) the Government of India should develop
policies to end the discrimination and violence faced
by women in Indian society;
(4) the Government of India should develop
policies to end the use of child labor in India; and
(5) the United States should consider the ex-
tent to which the Government of India has acted in
conformity with the principles expressed in para-
graphs (1) through (4) as a factor in future deci-
sions regarding the allocation of foreign assistance.
