H. RES. 150
Concerning the possible imposition of tariffs by the United States on the
importation of certain categories of motor vehicles from Japan and
the potential impact on the prices of domestic goods for American con-
sumers.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 16, 1995
Mr. SCHUMER submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means
RESOLUTION
Concerning the possible imposition of tariffs by the United
States on the importation of certain categories of motor
vehicles from Japan and the potential impact on the
prices of domestic goods for American consumers.
Whereas the opening of the Japanese market to foreign goods
and services, including automobiles and auto parts, is in
the profound mutual interest of the United States,
Japan, and the global economy as a whole;
Whereas the elimination of barriers to United States goods
and services in foreign markets, including Japan, must
continue to be a priority policy goal of the United States;
Whereas Japan’s major trading partners, including the
United States, have attempted on numerous occasions,
•HRES 150 IH
without success, to negotiate meaningful reductions in
Japanese trade barriers;
Whereas the most recent round of negotiations once again
failed to achieve true market-opening measures in a cat-
egory central to Japan’s disproportionate trade surplus,
automobiles and auto parts;
Whereas as a consequence of the failure of these negotiations,
the United States is contemplating the imposition of tar-
iffs on the importation of certain motor vehicles from
Japan; and
Whereas if such tariffs are deemed necessary to achieve true
liberalization in trade with Japan, they should be imple-
mented in a fashion that accomplishes this objective with-
out increasing prices for average United States consum-
ers: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) fully supports the President in his efforts to
reduce barriers in Japan to United States products,
but strongly believes that measures necessary to
achieve this important goal must not result in an in-
crease in the price of domestic goods for American
consumers;
(2) calls on United States domestic automobile
manufacturers to refrain from raising prices as the
direct or indirect consequence of any tariffs that
may be imposed on the importation of motor vehicles
from Japan; and
•HRES 150 IH
(3) calls on the President to state his strong
agreement with paragraphs (1) and (2), and to state
further that an increase in domestic car prices would
be fundamentally inconsistent with the purpose of
any tariffs on the importation of Japanese motor ve-
hicles from Japan, and that any such price increases
would be unacceptable to the United States Govern-
ment.

Expressing the sense of the Congress that the National Association of Radio
Talk Show Hosts should not honor G. Gordon Liddy because of his
use of hateful speech and its potential to inflame violence against law
enforcement officers.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 18, 1995
Ms. DELAURO submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the National Asso-
ciation of Radio Talk Show Hosts should not honor
G. Gordon Liddy because of his use of hateful speech
and its potential to inflame violence against law enforce-
ment officers.
Whereas the United States must vigorously protect its tradi-
tion of free speech;
Whereas defending the tradition of free speech does not force
the people of the United States to condone poisonous,
hateful talk;
Whereas leaders from all segments of society have a solemn
duty to join together to foster responsible debate and re-
ject calls for violence;
•HRES 153 IH
Whereas G. Gordon Liddy is a talk radio host and convicted
felon with a syndicated program on 262 stations nation-
wide;
Whereas G. Gordon Liddy has encouraged his listeners to
shoot guns at the heads of agents from the Bureau of Al-
cohol, Tobacco and Firearms because those agents wear
bullet proof vests;
Whereas G. Gordon Liddy directed his listeners to shoot Fed-
eral agents ‘‘twice to the body, the center of mass and
if that does not work then shoot to the groin area’’;
Whereas such talk encourages violence against the law en-
forcement officers who put their lives on the line every
day to enforce the Nation’s laws;
Whereas President Clinton and former President Bush have
denounced language that dishonors the public servants
who keep the law; and
Whereas the National Association of Radio Talk Show Hosts
plans to honor G. Gordon Liddy on June 24 at their an-
nual Talk Radio Convention in Houston as the winner of
the 1995 Freedom of Speech Award: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) inflammatory language that fosters hate
and encourages violence against Federal law enforce-
ment officials undermines the rule of law; and
(2) the National Association of Radio Talk
Show Hosts should revoke their award to G. Gordon
Liddy and pass a resolution condemning the use of

adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the

tervening motion except one motion to recommit with or with-
out instructions.
SEC. 2. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman
of the Committee on International Relations or a designee to
offer amendments en bloc consisting of amendments printed
in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for
that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII or germane modifica-
tions of any such amendment. Amendments en bloc offered
pursuant to this section shall be considered as read (except
that modifications shall be reported), shall not be subject to
amendment or to a division of the question in the House or
in the Committee of the Whole and shall be debatable for ten
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and
ranking minority member of the Committee on International
Relations or their designees. For the purpose of inclusion in
such amendments en bloc, an amendment printed in the form
of a motion to strike may be modified to the form of a ger-
mane perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to
be stricken. The original proponent of an amendment in-
cluded in such amendments en bloc may insert a statement

hateful speech that fosters violence against those

being present.
‘‘(2) It shall not be in order to consider any con-
ference report unless copies of the report and accompany-
ing statement have been available to Members for at least
two hours before the beginning of such consideration: Pro-
vided, however, That it shall always be in order to call up
for consideration, notwithstanding the provisions of clause
4(b) of rule XI, a report from the Committee on Rules
•HRES 154 IH
only making in order the consideration of a conference re-
port notwithstanding this restriction.
‘‘(3) The time allotted for debate in the consideration
of any such report shall be equally divided between the
majority party and the minority party, except that if the
floor manager for the majority party and the minority
party are both supporters of the conference report, one-
third of such debate time shall be allotted to a Member
who is opposed to said conference report.’’.
