1ST SESSION
H. RES. 340
Expressing the appreciation of the House of Representatives to the King
of Jordan for his efforts to support the Middle East peace process
and to condemn efforts within Jordan to further hostility between Jor-
danians and Israelis by ostracizing and boycotting those individuals who
have had any contact with Israel or Israeli citizens.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 21, 1999
Mr. HASTINGS of Florida submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Expressing the appreciation of the House of Representatives
to the King of Jordan for his efforts to support the
Middle East peace process and to condemn efforts within
Jordan to further hostility between Jordanians and
Israelis by ostracizing and boycotting those individuals
who have had any contact with Israel or Israeli citizens.
Whereas Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty in 1994;
Whereas King Hussein of Jordan made the establishment of
peace in the Middle East a priority for his country and
worked to secure peace up until his death;
Whereas King Abdullah, since assuming the throne in Feb-
ruary 1999, has continued the peacemaking efforts of his
late father;
•HRES 340 IH
Whereas King Abdullah has worked to strengthen Jordan’s
trade and investment with Israel;
Whereas there is an ‘‘anti-normalization’’ movement in Jor-
dan which seeks to boycott any Jordanian who has had
social, business, academic, or cultural exchanges with
Israel or the Palestinian Authority;
Whereas the proponents of ‘‘anti-normalization’’ have as a
goal to boycott products of ‘‘collaborators’’, ruin their
businesses, and force them out of government service and
union membership;
Whereas a ‘‘collaborator’’ may be a government employee who
may have traveled to Israel for work purposes, a busi-
nessman who traded with Israel, a journalist who wrote
about Israel, or even an Israeli-born Arab who has an
Israeli passport;
Whereas the opponents of normalized relations with Israel
have reportedly assembled a list of ‘‘collaborators’’, and
have said that they will begin publishing names from the
list in the near future;
Whereas the publication of this list is an effort to prevent,
through intimidation and fear, the ‘‘normalization’’ of
ties between Jordan and Israel; and
Whereas supporters of the anti-normalization movement have
as their stated goal the establishment of a ‘‘psychological
barrier of hostility between Arabs and the Jewish State’’:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports
the efforts of King Abdullah of Jordan to further the Mid-
dle East peace process and condemns efforts within Jor-
dan to oppose normalization of ties with Israel by ostra-

cizing and boycotting those individuals who have had any

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that ‘‘Family Hour’’,
the time period between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., should be set aside by
the television industry for family-oriented programming.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 28, 1999
Ms. BROWN of Florida submitted the following resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Commerce
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
‘‘Family Hour’’, the time period between 8 p.m. and
9 p.m., should be set aside by the television industry
for family-oriented programming.
Whereas in 1998, A.C. Nielsen Co. conducted a study of tele-
vision viewing patterns of American families;
Whereas according to the study, American children watch an
average of 3 to 4 hours of television daily;
Whereas American children between the ages of 2 and 11
watch 1,197 minutes of television per week;
Whereas 52 percent of children ages 5 to 17 have a television
set in their bedroom;
HRES 346 IH1S
Whereas American children will have seen 200,000 acts of vi-
olence on television by the age of 18;
Whereas parents spend only 38.5 minutes per week engaged
in meaningful conversation with their children;
Whereas 80 percent of Hollywood executives believe there is
a link between television violence and real life-violence;
Whereas television violence is a significant contributor to ag-
gressive behavior among children;
Whereas violent content, foul language, and sexual content
combined have risen almost 31 percent since November
1996; and
Whereas parental concern about sex and violence on television
has never been higher than at present: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that ‘‘Family Hour’’, the time period between
8 p.m. and 9 p.m., should be set aside by the television
industry for family-oriented programming.

H. Res. 350
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
November 9, 1999.
Whereas the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act
of 1993 effectively lifted the ban on federally funded re-
search involving the transplantation of baby body parts,
and such Act made it a Federal felony for any person to
knowingly, for ‘‘valuable consideration,’’ purchase or sell
baby body parts (with a term of imprisonment of up to
10 years and with fines of up to $250,000 in the case
of an individual and $500,000 in the case of an organiza-
tion);
Whereas private companies have sought to meet the demand
by both public and private research facilities by providing
baby body parts;
Whereas the definition of ‘‘valuable consideration’’ under the
National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993
does not include reasonable payments associated with the
transportation, implantation, processing, preservation,
quality control, or storage of baby body parts; and
Whereas private companies appear to believe that the defini-
tion of ‘‘valuable consideration’’ allows them to cir-
cumvent Federal law and avoid felony charges with impu-
nity while trafficking in baby body parts for profit: Now,
therefore, be it
•HRES 347 EH
Whereas great Italian American political figures, such as
Fiorella La Guardia (who was both Mayor of, then Con-
gressman from, New York City), Anthony Celebrezze
(who, in the Kennedy administration, was the first
Italian American Cabinet member), and Antonin Scalia
(who, in 1982, became the first Italian American Su-
preme Court Justice), have enriched the political process
and brought national pride to our country;
Whereas over 5.4 million Italians immigrated to the United
States between 1820 and 1991, which today has resulted
in over 26 million Americans of Italian descent in the
United States, making them the fifth largest ethnic
group; and
Whereas the Massachusetts Legislature has designated the
month of October as ‘‘Italian-American Heritage Month’’
in Massachusetts: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports
the goals and ideas of ‘‘Italian-American Heritage Month’’
and recognizes the significant contributions that Italian
Americans have made to the United States.
