Expressing the sense of Congress supporting vigorous enforcement of the 
Federal obscenity laws. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition 
to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subse-
quently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such 
provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress supporting vigorous 
enforcement of the Federal obscenity laws.
Whereas the Supreme Court in Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 
15 (1973) held that obscene material is ‘‘unprotected by 
the first amendment’’ (413 U.S. at 23) and that obscen-
ity laws can be enforced against ‘‘hardcore pornography’’ 
(413 U.S. at 28);
•HCON 296 IH 
tail report documenting how the prior $79 billion re-
quest was expended.
Æ
•HCON 298 IH 
Whereas the Miller Court stated that ‘‘to equate the free and 
robust exchange of ideas and political debate with com-
mercial exploitation of obscene material demeans the 
grand conception of the first amendment and its high 
purposes in the historic struggle for freedom.’’ (413 U.S. 
at 34); 
Whereas the Supreme Court in Paris Adult Theatre I v. 
Slaton, 413 U.S. 49 (1973) recognized that there are le-
gitimate governmental interests at stake in stemming the 
tide of obscene materials, which include—
(1) protecting ‘‘the quality of life and total commu-
nity environment’’ (413 U.S. at 58); 
(2) protecting ‘‘public safety’’ (413 U.S. at 58); 
(3) maintaining ‘‘a decent society’’ (413 U.S. at 59–
60); 
(4) protecting ‘‘the social interest in order and mo-
rality’’ (413 U.S. at 61); and 
(5) protecting ‘‘family life’’ (413 U.S. at 63);
Whereas Congress, in an effort to protect these same legiti-
mate governmental interests, enacted legislation in 1988 
to strengthen Federal obscenity laws and in 1996 to clar-
ify that use of an interactive computer service to trans-
port obscene materials in or affecting interstate or for-
eign commerce is prohibited; 
Whereas the 1986 Final Report of the Attorney General’s 
Commission on Pornography found that ‘‘increasingly, 
the most prevalent forms of pornography’’ fit the descrip-
tion of ‘‘sexually violent material’’ (p. 323) and that ‘‘an 
enormous amount of the most sexually explicit material 
available’’ can be categorized as ‘‘degrading’’ to people, 
‘‘most often women’’ (p. 331);
•HCON 298 IH 
Whereas the Internet has become a conduit for hardcore por-
nography that now reaches directly into tens of millions 
of American homes, where even small children can be ex-
posed to Internet obscenity and older children can easily 
find it; 
Whereas a national opinion poll conducted in March 2002 by 
Wirthlin Worldwide marketing research company found 
that 81 percent of adult Americans say that ‘‘Federal 
laws against Internet obscenity should be vigorously en-
forced’’; 
Whereas a May 2, 2002, report from the National Academies’ 
National Research Council stated that ‘‘aggressive en-
forcement of existing antiobscenity laws can help reduce 
children’s access to certain kinds of sexually explicit ma-
terial on the Internet’’; 
Whereas on April 16, 2002, the United States Supreme 
Court in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition invalidated a 
Federal law aimed at ‘‘virtual child pornography’’; 
Whereas vigorous enforcement of obscenity laws can help re-
duce the amount of ‘‘virtual child pornography’’ now 
readily available to sexual predators; and 
Whereas it continues to be the desire of the People of the 
United States of America and their representatives in 
Congress to recognize and protect the governmental in-
terests recognized as legitimate by the United States Su-
preme Court in Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 
U.S. 49 (1973): Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that the Fed-
•HCON 298 IH 
eral obscenity laws should be vigorously enforced through-
out the United States.

Condemning the designation of Iraq as chair of the United Nations

Mr. VITTER (for himself, Mr. MILLER of Florida, Mr. SWEENEY, Mr. SMITH

concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Inter-
national Relations 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Condemning the designation of Iraq as chair of the United 
Nations Conference on Disarmament.
Whereas Iraq was recently designated as chair of the United 
Nations Conference on Disarmament solely because of 
the alphabetical rotation system utilized by that body; 
Whereas twelve years ago, Saddam Hussein agreed to disarm 
all weapons of mass destruction, yet for twelve years he 
has systematically violated that agreement in violation of 
international law; 
Whereas the United Nations Security Council, in Resolution 
1441 of November 8, 2002, gave Iraq a final opportunity
•HCON 29 IH 
to comply with its disarmament obligations under rel-
evant resolutions of the Security Council, yet Saddam 
Hussein has shown alarming contempt for that action of 
the United Nations Security Council; 
Whereas the United Nations and intelligence sources of the 
United States have known for some time that Saddam 
Hussein has materials to produce chemical and biological 
weapons, but he has not accounted for them and refuses 
to do so; 
Whereas these dangerous materials are sufficient to kill tens 
of millions of people and includel 
(1) 26,000 liters of anthrax; 
(2) 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin; 
(3) 500 tons of sarin, mustard, and VX nerve 
agents; and 
(4) almost 30,000 munitions capable of delivering 
chemical agents;
Whereas three Iraqi defectors in the late 1990s have exposed 
the fact that Saddam Hussein maintains several mobile 
biological weapons labs, which he has not disclosed; 
Whereas the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed 
in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nu-
clear weapons development program, a design for a nu-
clear weapon, and was working on methods of enriching 
uranium for a nuclear bomb; 
Whereas Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quan-
tities of uranium from Africa, according to the British 
Government, and has attempted to purchase high 
strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons, 
yet he has not credibly explained these activities;

Expressing the deep concern of Congress regarding the fail-

obligations under a safeguards agreement with the Inter-

Iran in activities that appear to be designed to develop

Whereas environmental sampling by the International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA) at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility 
revealed the presence of 2 types of highly enriched ura-

Whereas the traces of highly-enriched uranium detected by 
the IAEA at the Natanz facility and the Kalaye Electric

Whereas thousands of Iraqi security personnel are at work 
hiding documents and materials from the United Nations 
weapons inspectors; 
Whereas Iraqi officials accompany all inspectors in order to 
intimidate witnesses; 
Whereas Iraq is blocking U–2 surveillance flights requested 
by the United Nations; 
Whereas it is widely known that Saddam Hussein has or-
dered that scientists who cooperate with the United Na-
tions be killed, along with their families; and 
Whereas Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, in-
cluding al-Qaida members, and could provide hidden 
weapons of mass destruction to terrorists, or help them 
develop their own such weapons: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That—
(1) the Congress strongly condemns the des-
ignation of Iraq as chair of the United Nations Con-
ference on Disarmament and calls for the immediate 
removal of Iraq as chair of the conference; 
(2) Iraq’s participation in this conference, let 
alone its leadership, is incongruous with inter-
national law and conventions; and 
(3) the Congress calls upon the President, the 
Secretary of State, the Permanent Representative of 
the United States to the United Nations, and other 
appropriate United States Government officials to 
block, boycott, or formally protest this designation of

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 7, 2003
Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas (for herself, Mr. KUCINICH, Ms. LEE, Mr. DAVIS 
of Illinois, and Ms. WATSON) submitted the following concurrent resolu-

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that the Authorization 
for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 
2002 should be repealed.
Whereas the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against 
Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107–243; 116 Stat. 
1498), enacted into law on October 16, 2002, authorizes 
the President to use United States Armed Forces against 
Iraq to defend the national security of the United States 
against the continuing threat posed by Iraq and to en-
force all relevant United Nations Security Council resolu-
tions regarding Iraq; 
Whereas since the enactment of Public Law 107–243, Iraq 
has allowed international weapons inspectors to re-enter
•HCON 2 IH 
Iraq in order to identify and destroy Iraq’s weapons of 
mass destruction stockpiles and development capabilities; 
Whereas since the enactment of Public Law 107–243, actions 
by North Korea relating to its nuclear weapons capabili-
ties pose a more immediate threat to its neighbors and 
to the United States; and 
Whereas in light of these circumstances, Congress should re-
examine the threat posed by Iraq, including by allowing 
time to review fully and accurately the findings of the 
international weapons inspectors: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that the Au-
thorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolu-
tion of 2002 (Public Law 107–243; 116 Stat. 1498)
