with respect to congressional intent to establish a mental illness task

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 8, 1998
Mrs. ROUKEMA (for herself and Ms. KAPTUR) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Commerce
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with
respect to the seriousness of the national problems asso-
ciated with mental illness and with respect to congres-
sional intent to establish a mental illness task force.
Whereas mental illness is not a character flaw, but a tangible
and treatable illness as real as hypertension, cancer, or
heart disease;
Whereas great strides are being made in the diagnosis and
treatment of mental illness;
Whereas there remain gaping holes in the network of Fed-
eral, State, and local services designed to identify and
treat individuals with mental illness;
•HRES 587 IH
Whereas, more and more, America is witnessing violence re-
sulting from untreated mental illness and a failed policy
of deinstitutionalization without any proper community
follow-up;
Whereas, all too often, we hear of situations where an indi-
vidual with a mental disorder has not received adequate
treatment and has reacted violently and endangered him-
self or herself or, tragically, has taken the life of another;
Whereas one such situation occurred at the Capitol when Of-
ficer J.J. Chestnut and Special Agent John Gibson trag-
ically lost their lives;
Whereas last year alone, over 1,000 homicides were directly
attributable to improperly treated mental illnesses;
Whereas, although the treatment of the mentally ill is pri-
marily a function of the States, there is a significant
sharing of costs between the Federal Government and the
States for such treatment, and there are some joint re-
sponsibilities of the Federal Government and the States
for such treatment;
Whereas it is necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis of the
effectiveness of mental health block grants and of the
Federal prison costs attributed to mental illness; and
Whereas it is also necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis
of issues relating to reciprocity between the States: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that a temporary task force or advisory com-
mittee on mental illness should be established that would
be responsible for probing the serious dimensions of the
national problems associated with mental illness, including
•HRES 587 IH
determining the extent to which individuals with mental
illness are not receiving proper treatment and the extent
to which violence is resulting from the lack of such treat-
ment.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Supreme

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 9, 1998
Mr. MEEKS of New York (for himself, Mr. CONYERS, and Mr. JACKSON of
Illinois) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the Supreme Court of the United States should improve
its employment practices with regard to hiring more
qualified minority applicants to serve as clerks to the
Justices.
Whereas the United States Supreme Court, the highest court
in the country, has the final say on such important issues
as affirmative action, civil rights, access to education,
workplace discrimination, religious freedom, prayer in
school, voting rights, the 2000 Census, sexual harass-
ment, police brutality, and death penalty appeals;
Whereas each of the 9 Justices are allowed four law clerks
a year;
•HRES 591 IH
Whereas the power these clerks hold is immense;
Whereas they review all cases brought before the court and
help decide which ones the Justices should hear;
Whereas while the Justices often determine how they will
vote, the clerks usually put in all the reasoning;
Whereas however, the United States Supreme Court has a
shameful record in hiring minority and women law clerks;
Whereas a recent study found that of the 428 law clerks
hired during the respective terms of the sitting Jus-
tices—
(1) only 1.6 percent were African-American;
(2) only 1.2 percent were Hispanic-American;
(3) 4.2 percent were Asian-American;
(4) none were Native-American; and
(5) only 25.2 percent were women;
Whereas this, despite the fact that more than 40 percent of
law school graduates are now women and nearly 20 per-
cent are minorities;
Whereas this lack of diversity within such an important body
is unacceptable; and
Whereas these clerks have a dramatic impact on the lives of
every American, yet they are in no way a reflection of
America: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the United States Supreme Court should
move in an expeditious manner to improve its em-
ployment practices with regard to hiring more quali-
fied minority applicants to serve as clerks; and

(2) the United States Supreme Court should
