Whereas in just this past year, engineers have helped meet

Whereas engineers are a crucial link in research, develop-

discoveries into useful products, and we will look more 
than ever to engineers and their knowledge and skills to 
meet the challenges of the future; 
Whereas engineers play a crucial role in developing the con-
sensus engineering standards that permit modern econo-
mies and societies to exist; 
Whereas the recent National Academy of Sciences report en-
titled ‘‘Rising Above the Gathering Storm’’ highlighted 
the worrisome trend that fewer students are now focusing

Whereas during the establishment of the Socialist Republic of 
Vietnam as a 1-party state ruled and controlled by the 
Vietnamese Communist Party, uncompensated confisca-
tion of real and personal property from Vietnamese citi-
zens was a widespread occurrence; 
Whereas Article 23 of the Constitution of the Socialist Re-
public of Vietnam provides that ‘‘[t]he lawful property of 
individuals and organizations shall not be nationalized’’; 
Whereas according to the Department of State, more work is 
necessary to adequately protect property rights in Viet-
nam; and 
Whereas the people of the United States are firmly com-
mitted to freedom, democracy, and basic human rights 
for the citizens of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That—
(1) The House of Representatives—
(A) welcomes recent attempts by the Govern-
ment of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to estab-
lish private land use rights for its citizens, and
•HRES 415 EH 
hopes that these rights are quickly expanded to en-
compass all Vietnamese citizens;

Republic of Vietnam to more fully recognize its re-

restitution of property that was confiscated by the 
government; 
(C) calls on the Government of the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam to direct local officials, par-
ticularly in the Central Highlands region, to 
promptly investigate and resolve complaints about 
discriminatory and uncompensated confiscation of 
land; 
(D) urges the Government of the Socialist Re-
public of Vietnam to form a national commission 
for processing restitution claims, and to obligate 
local government officials, bodies, and agencies to 
provide all necessary documentation and coopera-
tion to facilitate the implementation of decisions 
issued by the national commission; and 
(E) strongly urges the Government of the So-
cialist Republic of Vietnam—
(i) to ensure that implementation of land 
use reforms by local officials does not result in 
increased inequity in access to land, particu-
•HRES 415 EH 
larly for the poor and for those out of favor 
with the Communist Party; and 
(ii) to ensure that the government pro-
vides fair, prompt, and equitable restitution to 
former landowners for the property rights of 
all confiscated lands; and 
(2) it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that—
(A) the President should specifically consider 
land use rights for individuals in determining 
whether the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a
