saying the vote will precede the long overdue general elec-
tions he has promised to hold by April 2007; 
Whereas King Gyanendra claimed the elections to be part of 
his ‘‘road map’’ back to democracy, but most Nepalese 
believe it was another ploy to tighten his grip on power; 
Whereas members of the opposition seven-party alliance made 
a public appeal to actively boycott the elections and asked 
the international community not to recognize the results 
because the King’s autocratic regime was, in effect, seiz-
ing all the fundamental rights of the Nepalese people by 
staging an election that was guised as free and fair; 
Whereas New Delhi, Washington, Tokyo, and the European 
Union (EU) each expressed their concern with the King’s 
actions; 
Whereas India and the United States suspended the sale of 
military equipment to Nepal; 
Whereas the Maoist insurgency, along with the violence of the 
security forces, in Nepal has killed approximately 13,000 
people since 1996, and the insurgency continues to un-
dermine political stability and prospects for economic de-
velopment in the country; 
Whereas King Gyanendra’s inability to subdue the Maoist in-
surgency and his repression of pro-democratic elements 
has undermined his legitimacy; 
Whereas King Gyanendra has suppressed the peaceful nation-
wide pro-democracy demonstration originally scheduled 
for April 6–9, 2006, by imposing a curfew; 
Whereas the King’s actions demonstrate that the royal gov-
ernment has closed down all doors for dialogue;

are committed to the return of all noncriminal Serbs who 
fled Kosova during and after the war; and 
Whereas there is every reason to believe that independence 
from Serbia is the only viable option for Kosova, after

be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-

(1) recognize the danger that delay in the reso-

and economic viability of Kosova and its neighbors, 
and consequently for the future of Southeast Eu-
rope; 
(2) publicly support the independence of Kosova 
within its existing borders as a sovereign and demo-
cratic state in which human rights, including the 
rights of ethnic and religious minorities, and the rule 
of law are respected as the only way to lasting peace 
and stability in the Balkans; 
(3) establish a monitoring body in conjunction 
with the United Nations, and North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization, and other multilateral organizations to 
ensure that the new state of Kosova achieves the 
standards set forth by the UN Security Council, in-
cluding the protection of minority rights and secu-
rity for all of Kosova’s communities, and to facilitate
HRES 24 IH 
an orderly transition from a UN protectorate to a 
fully functioning democratic government; 
(4) work with the Council of Europe to develop 
and implement anti-racism programs that would be 
instituted at the level of federal and municipal gov-
ernments throughout the Balkans; 
(5) work with the United Nations and North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization to facilitate the return 
of Albanians to their pre-war homes in northern 
Mitrovica and its environs and Serbs to theirs in 
southern Mitrovica and other parts of Kosova; and 
(6) provide its share of assistance, trade, and 
other programs to support the government of an 
independent Kosova and to encourage the further 
development of democracy, rule of law, and a free 
market economic system in Kosova and throughout 
the Balkans.

a child’s positive upbringing may form the foundation for

Whereas parents, teachers, mentors, and leaders share re-

Whereas communities in the United States celebrate and

Whereas it is appropriate that the Nation reserve a specific 
day each year to celebrate and honor the children of the 
United States, and the significant accomplishments of 
children in schools, churches, daycare centers, and their

Whereas reserving a specific day each year to reflect on the 
children of the United States will help to ensure that the 
people of the United States remember their collective and 
individual obligation to the children of this country, ac-
knowledge the importance of children to the Nation’s fu-

DECEMBER 16, 2005 
Mr. PRICE of Georgia (for himself, Mr. WESTMORELAND, Mr. GINGREY, Mr. 
DEAL of Georgia, Mr. NORWOOD, Mr. SCOTT of Georgia, Mr. LEWIS of 
Georgia, Mr. MARSHALL, Mr. BISHOP of Georgia, Mr. BARROW, Mr.

was referred to the Committee on Government Reform 
RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goals and ideals of a Day of Hearts, Con-
genital Heart Defect Day in order to increase awareness 
about congenital heart defects, and for other purposes. 
Whereas congenital heart defects are structural problems 
with the heart that are present at birth; 
Whereas such defects range in severity from simple problems, 
such as ‘‘holes’’ between chambers of the heart, to very 
severe malformations, such as the complete absence of 
one or more chambers or valves of the heart; 
Whereas more than one million Americans have some form of 
a congenital heart defect and such defect is the number 
one cause of death in infants;
•HRES 629 IH 
Whereas out of 1000 births, eight babies will have some form 
of a congenital heart disorder, and approximately 35,000 
babies are born with such defects each year; 
Whereas twice as many children die each year from con-
genital heart disease compared with childhood cancers, 
yet funding for pediatric cancer research is five times 
higher than such funding for congenital heart disease; 
Whereas cardiovascular disease is the Nation’s leading killer 
in both men and women among all racial and ethnic 
groups; 
Whereas the United States has a severe shortage of cardiac 
centers that are fully equipped to provide care for adults 
living with complex heart defects; 
Whereas almost one million Americans die of cardiovascular 
disease each year, resulting in up to 42 percent of all 
deaths in the United States; 
Whereas the presence of a serious congenital heart defect 
often results in an enormous emotional and financial 
strain on young families who are already in a vulnerable 
stage of their lives; 
Whereas severe congenital heart disease requires that families 
dedicate extensive financial resources for assistance and 
care both within and outside of a hospital environment; 
Whereas congenial heart defects exceed more than $2.2 mil-
lion a year for inpatient surgery alone; and 
Whereas February 14, 2006, would be an appropriate day to 
recognize A Day for Hearts: Congenital Heart Defect 
Awareness Day: Now, therefore, be it
•HRES 629 IH 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the goals and ideals of A Day of Hearts: Congenital Heart 
Defect Awareness Day to— 
(1) increase awareness about congenital heart 
defects; 
(2) encourage research with respect to the dis-
ease; and 
(3) support the millions of Americans who are 
affected by this disease.
