Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that communities should

from sickle cell disease.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEPTEMBER 21, 1994
Mr. CRAMER submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
communities should establish multidisciplinary team ap-
proaches to treat children who suffer from sickle cell
disease.
Whereas it is estimated that more than 250,000 babies are
born worldwide with sickle cell anemia, a form of sickle
cell disease which causes red blood cells to elongate and
clog arteries;
Whereas sickle cell disease is found in people of African,
Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern heritage;
Whereas, in the United States, sickle cell disease is most
commonly observed in blacks and Hispanics from the
Caribbean, Central America, and parts of South America;
chased the prescription drug product 
directly from the manufacturer or 
from a wholesale distributor that pur-
chased the prescription drug product 
directly from the manufacturer; 
‘‘(III) the person who manufac-
turers the medical convenience kit 
does not alter the primary container 
or label of the prescription drug prod-
uct as purchased from the manufac-
turer or wholesale distributor; 
‘‘(IV) the medical convenience kit 
does not contain a controlled sub-
stance (as defined in section 102 of 
the Controlled Substances Act); and 
‘‘(V) the prescription drug prod-
ucts contained in the medical conven-
ience kit are— 
‘‘(aa) intravenous solutions 
intended for the replenishment of 
fluids and electrolytes; 
‘‘(bb) drugs intended to 
maintain the equilibrium of water 
and minerals in the body;

Whereas it is estimated that 1 in 400 African American
newborns is afflicted with sickle cell anemia at birth;
Whereas the pain associated with a sickle-cell-induced clot
can mimic symptoms of several other diseases, making
sickle cell disease difficult to diagnose;
Whereas the recurrent and unpredictable nature of sickle cell
disease can adversely affect both school and work attend-
ance and may reduce a patient’s sense of self-esteem;
Whereas there still exists a need to improve the quality of life
for children who suffer from sickle cell disease, notwith-
standing that the life expectancy of patients with sickle
cell disease has improved considerably since 1960; and
Whereas multidisciplinary team approaches have proven suc-
cessful in treating children with sickle cell disease: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) communities should establish multidisci-
plinary team approaches to treat effectively children
with sickle cell disease; and
(2) such approaches should incorporate the
early administration of prophylactic penicillin to in-
fants with sickle cell anemia, patient enrichment
programs, educational programs, counseling pro-
grams for children and their families, and screening
programs.

‘‘(xv) the distribution of an intra-

erals in the body, such as dialysis solu-
tions;

RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with
respect to the situation in Haiti.
Whereas the Government of the United States for 3 years
has sought through diplomatic means the return of the
democratically elected President of Haiti to his rightful
place as President of Haiti;
Whereas representatives of the United States Government
were successful in reaching a peaceful agreement with the
de facto leaders of Haiti;
Whereas these de facto leaders of Haiti signed an agreement
which set the date of October 15th for the return of Hai-
tian President Jean Bertrand Aristide;
•HRES 540 IH
Whereas this agreement stipulates that certain military offi-
cers of the Haitian Armed Forces will retire in accord-
ance with United Nations Resolutions 917 and 940;
Whereas these military officers have agreed to retire when an
amnesty, similar to that proposed in the Governor’s Is-
land Accord, is voted into law by the Haitian Parliament,
or by October 15, 1994 or whichever comes first; and
Whereas the signatories of this agreement have agreed that
legislative elections will be held in a free and democratic
manner: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports the return of President Aristide to
his democratically elected position as President of
Haiti;
(2) urges the Haitian military to ensure a
peaceful transition;
(3) calls for the earliest possible retirement of
certain Haitian military leaders; and
(4) calls upon the President of the United
States to return to the United States at the earliest
practicable date all United States Armed Forces (ex-
cept those forces participating in long-term peace-
keeping activities with the United Nations).
