To express the sense of the House of Representatives condemning the use
of violence and terror to influence the actions of the Government of
the United States.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 2, 1995
Mr. NADLER introduced the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
To express the sense of the House of Representatives con-
demning the use of violence and terror to influence the
actions of the Government of the United States.
Whereas democracy provides the greatest opportunity for citi-
zen participation in public affairs;
Whereas democracy is the form of government most consist-
ent with individual liberty;
Whereas the peaceful resolution of disputes and the rule of
law applied by an independent judiciary are necessary
underpinnings of a free and democratic society;
Whereas the use of armed force against public officers in the
performance of their official duties, pursuant to laws en-
acted through the democratic process, is nothing less
than an attack on democracy itself;
HRES 137 IH
Whereas irresponsible and inflammatory statements calling
for such attacks, and providing instruction in their execu-
tion, while protected by the first amendment to the
United States Constitution, are nonetheless worthy of
condemnation by responsible citizens;
Whereas such statements are particularly reprehensible when
broadcast to large numbers of people;
Whereas comments made by G. Gordon Liddy on his radio
talkshow, broadcast to 262 stations nationwide, advo-
cated and provided detailed instructions on methods to
kill Federal agents, incite murder, violence and lawless-
ness; and
Whereas the appropriate means of changing public policy is
peacefully and lawfully through the democratic process:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) condemns the use of violence and random
terror for political purposes,
(2) condemns the exhortations to terror, mur-
der, lawlessness and violence made by G. Gordon
Liddy,
(3) condemns the advocacy of, exhortation to,
and preparation for such acts of violence as a sig-
nificant threat to democracy and freedom, and
(4) reaffirms this Nation’s commitment to free
expression which, nonetheless, does not preclude con-
demnation of irresponsible speech.
