(15) the United States is the largest shareholder in
these banks, and thus can exercise considerable leverage
over loans to Communist China; and
(16) Communist China has continued to insist that
Taiwan not be admitted to the WTO unless it is admitted
simultaneously, notwithstanding the differences in the
status of their compliance with the criteria for WTO
membership;
Whereas given the number and gravity of these issues, the
debate over Communist China’s most-favored-nation
trade status cannot bear the weight of the entire bilateral
relationship between the United States and the People’s
Republic of China; and
Whereas these issues should be promptly addressed by appro-
priate legislation: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, The Committee on International Relations,
the Committee on National Security, the Committee on
Ways and Means, and the Committee on Banking and Fi-
nancial Services will each hold hearings on the matters
described in the preamble to this resolution insofar as
those matters fall within their respective jurisdictions and,
if appropriate, report legislation addressing these matters

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 25, 1996
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives relat-
ing to the recognition of the Magen David Adom (Red
Shield of David) as a symbol of the International Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Whereas it is the mission of the International Red Cross and
Red Crescent Movement to prevent and alleviate human
suffering, without discrimination, wherever it may be
found;
Whereas the International Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement is a worldwide institution in which all National
Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have equal status
and share equal responsibilities;
•HRES 464 IH
Whereas the State of Israel has ratified the Geneva Conven-
tions which govern the International Red Cross and Red
Crescent Movement;
Whereas the Magen David Adom is the national humani-
tarian society in the State of Israel;
Whereas the Magen David Adom Society follows all the prin-
ciples of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement;
Whereas the Magen David Adom Society is excluded from full
membership in the International Conference of the Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement solely because the
Magen David Adom is not an official protective symbol
recognized by the Geneva Conventions governing the
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement or
the Statutes of the International Red Cross and Red
Crescent Movement;
Whereas the State of Israel has unsuccessfully tried in the
past to amend the Geneva Conventions to allow for the
emblematic recognition of the Magen David Adom; and
Whereas recognition of the Magen David Adom as an official
symbol of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement would help fortify the spirit of goodwill in the
Middle East Peace Process: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the President should at the earliest possible
date work with other signatory countries to the Ge-
neva Conventions for the purpose of organizing a
full diplomatic conference on the Geneva Humani-
•HRES 464 IH
tarian Law Instruments to include recognition of the
Magen David Adom as an official symbol for use by
appropriate organizations of the International Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement; and
(2) the President should strongly encourage the
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Move-
ment to discuss this issue at the meeting of the
Council of the Delegates of the International Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement to be held in
1997 and to amend Article 4 of the Statutes of the
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Move-
ment to include recognition of the Magen David
Adom as an official emblem of the International Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement at the Inter-
national Conference of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Movement to be held in 1999.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. JOHNSTON of Florida submitted the following resolution; which was laid
on the table
RESOLUTION
Relating to a question of the privileges of the House.
Whereas the Constitution of the United States places upon
the House of Representatives the responsibility to regu-
late the conduct of its own Members;
Whereas the House has delegated that responsibility, in part,
to the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct,
which is charged with investigating alleged violations of
any law, rule, regulation or other standard of conduct by
a Member of the House;
Whereas the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has
failed to discharge that duty with regard to serious alle-
gations of wrongdoing by the Speaker of the House;
Whereas, although an outside counsel has been appointed to
investigate the Speaker, the Committee has failed to
allow that outside counsel to investigate serious charges
HRES 468 LTH
concerning the Speaker’s political action committee,
GOPAC, and its relationship to several tax-exempt orga-
nizations;
Whereas a formal complaint concerning these charges has
been languishing before the Committee for more than six
months;
Whereas new evidence of violations of Federal tax law—in
addition to the information contained in the formal com-
plaint—has also been recently reported by investigative
journalists around the country; and
Whereas the failure to take action on these matters has
raised serious questions about the impartiality of the
Committee on Standards of Official Conduct: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That the Committee on Standards of Offi-
cial Conduct is hereby instructed to immediately transmit
the remaining charges against Speaker Gingrich to the
outside counsel for his investigation and recommendations.
