CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the 50th Anniversary of the integration of the

Whereas on July 26, 1948, President Truman issued Execu-

Whereas the President stated in the executive order that it
was ‘‘essential that there be maintained in the armed
services of the United States the highest standards of de-
•HCON 294 IH
mocracy, with equality of treatment and opportunity for
all those who serve in our country’s defense’’;
Whereas in the executive order the President declared that
‘‘there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for
all persons in the armed services without regard to race,
color, religion or national origin’’;
Whereas, soon after the President issued the executive order,
United States forces in Korea were integrated, leading
the way to a fully integrated army;
Whereas the Armed Forces have used the implementation
and enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as addi-
tional tools to eliminate discrimination among their mili-
tary and civilian personnel;
Whereas in 1998 minorities serve in senior leadership posi-
tions throughout the Armed Forces, as officers, as senior
non-commissioned officers, and as civilian leaders;
Whereas the Armed Forces have demonstrated a continuing
commitment to ensuring the equality of treatment and
opportunity for all military and civilian personnel of the
Armed Forces; and
Whereas the efforts of the Armed Forces to ensure the equal-
ity of treatment and opportunity for their personnel have
contributed significantly to the advancement of equality
of treatment and opportunity for all Americans: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) commends the Armed Forces for their ef-
forts, leadership, and success in providing equality of
treatment and opportunity for their military and ci-

by policies designed to punish Ukraine for its aversion
and opposition to the government of the former Soviet
Union’s oppression and imperialism, including the forced
collectivization of agriculture;
Whereas, when Ukraine was famine-stricken, the government
of the former Soviet Union exported 1,700,000 tons of
grain to the West while offers from international relief
organizations to assist the starving population were re-
jected on the grounds that there was no famine in
Ukraine and no need for the assistance;
Whereas the borders of Ukraine were tightly controlled and
starving Ukrainians were not allowed to cross into Rus-
sian territory in search of bread;
Whereas, in his book ‘‘The Harvest of Sorrow’’, British histo-
rian Robert Conquest explains, ‘‘A quarter of the rural
population, men, women, and children, lay dead or dying,
the rest in various stages of debilitation with no strength
to bury their families or neighbors.’’;
Whereas the Commission on the Ukraine Famine was estab-
lished on December 13, 1985, to conduct a study with
the goal of expanding the world’s knowledge and under-
standing of the famine and to expose the government of
the former Soviet Union for its atrocities in the famine;
Whereas the Commission’s report to Congress confirmed that
the government of the former Soviet Union consciously
employed the brutal policy of forced famine to repress the
Ukrainian population and to oppress the Ukrainians’ in-
violable religious and political rights; and
Whereas the Commission on the Ukraine Famine presented
4 volumes of findings and conclusions, 10 volumes of ar-
chival material, and over 200 cassettes of testimony from

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring),
SECTION 1. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the victims of the government of the former
Soviet Union-engineered Ukrainian Famine of
1932–1933 be solemnly remembered on its 65th an-
niversary;
(2) the Congress condemns the systematic dis-
regard for human life, human rights, human liberty,
and self-determination that characterized the repres-
sive policies of the government of the former Soviet
Union during the Ukrainian Famine of 1932–1933;
(3) on the 65th anniversary of the Ukrainian
Famine of 1932–1933, in contrast to the policies of
the government of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine
is moving toward democracy, a free-market economy,
and full respect for human rights, and it is essential
that the United States continue to assist Ukraine as
it proceeds down this path; and
(4) any supplemental material that will assist in
the dissemination of information about the Ukrain-
•HCON 295 IH
ian Famine of 1932–1933, and thereby help to pre-
vent similar future tragedies, be compiled and made
available worldwide for the study of the devastation
of the famine.

The Clerk of the House of Representatives shall—
(1) transmit a copy of this resolution to—
(A) the President;
