curb the number of illegal border crossings;

curb the number of crossings equally along the en-
tirety of the Southwest border; and

sion;
(2) chapter 11A of title 18, United States Code,
effective since October 25, 1992, makes willful avoid-
ance of child support payments across State lines a
Federal crime;
(3) chapter 11A of title 18, United States Code,
is a useful Federal tool to assist in the collection and
enforcement of interstate child support cases;
(4) the President has committed to improve
interstate child support enforcement as a part of his
welfare reform initiative;
(5) despite such commitment, only five cases
have been tried or filed under chapter 11A of title 18,
United States Code;
(6) custodial parents with legitimate cases for
prosecution seeking to bring charges under chapter
11A of title 18, United States Code, are being turned
away by local Federal law enforcement officials or re-
ferred back to State child support agencies; and

(7) despite Justice Department guidelines, many
local Federal law enforcement agencies continue to
display a fundamental lack of knowledge concerning
the existence and means of enforcement of chapter

(b) It is the sense of the Senate that the Attorney Gen-
eral of the United States should immediately address the
deficiencies in the enforcement of chapter 11A of title 18,
United States Code, to make local Federal law enforcement
agencies more responsive to the needs of custodial parents
owed interstate child support and to significantly increase

cluding the Child Protection Act of 1984, and pro-
vided for the enforcement of those laws;
(2) on November 4, 1993, the Senate, by a vote
of 100–0, and on April 20, 1994, the House of Rep-
resentatives, by a vote of 425–3, rejected the Justice
Department’s new, narrow interpretation of the Fed-
eral child pornography statutes as delineated by the
HR 4603 EAS
Solicitor General in the case of United States v. Knox
and implored the Justice Department to properly en-
force the law and protect our Nation’s children;

properly interpreted the Child Protection Act of 1984.

pose any effort by the defendant in that case, or any
other party, to overturn the decision in that case; and

exercise its prosecutorial discretion in accord with

described in paragraph (1) where the Attorney Gen-
eral knows or has reason to know that the alien has
a communicable disease of public health significance

SEC. 514. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONDEMNING THE SINK-
ING OF THE ‘‘13TH OF MARCH’’ BY THE GOV-
ERNMENT IN CUBA.
(a) FINDINGS.—
(1) There are credible reports that on July 15,
1994 Cuban government vessels fired high-pressure
water hoses, repeatedly rammed and deliberately sunk
the ‘‘13th of March’’, a tugboat carrying 72 unarmed
cuban citizens.
(2) About forty of the men, women, and children
passengers on the ‘‘13th of March’’ drowned as a re-
sult of Cuban government actions, including most or
all of the twenty children aboard.
(3) The President of the United States ‘‘de-
plored’’ the sinking of the ‘‘13th of March’’ as ‘‘an-
HR 4603 EAS
other example of the brutal nature of the Cuban re-
gime’’.
(4) All of the men who survived the sinking of
the ‘‘13th of March’’ have been imprisoned by the
cuban government.
(5) The freedom to emigrate is an internation-
ally recognized human right and freedom’s fundamen-
tal guarantor of last resort.
(6) The Cuban government, by jamming TV and
Radio Marti, denies the Cuban people the right of free
access to information, including information about
this tragedy.
(b) It is the sense of the Senate to—
(1) comdemn the Cuban government for delib-
erately sinking the ‘‘13th of March’’, causing the
deaths of about 40 Cuban citizens, including about
twenty children;
(2) urge the President to direct the United States
Permanent Representative to the United Nations to
seek a resolution in the United Nations Security
Council that—
(A) condemns the sinking of the ‘‘13th of
March’’;
(B) provides for a full internationally su-
pervised investigation of the incident; and
HR 4603 EAS
(C) urges the Cuban government to release
from prison and cease intimidation measures
against all survivors of the sinking of the ‘‘13th
of March’’.

SEC. 611. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the liberties protected by our Constitution in-
clude religious liberty protected by the first amend-
ment;
(2) citizens of the United States profess the be-
liefs of almost every conceivable religion;
(3) Congress has historically protected religious
expression even from governmental action not in-
tended to be hostile to religion;
HR 4603 EAS
(4) the Supreme Court has written that ‘‘the free
exercise of religion means, first and foremost, the
right to believe and profess whatever religious doc-
trine one desires’’;
(5) the Supreme Court has firmly settled that
under our Constitution the public expression of ideas
may not be prohibited merely because the content of
the ideas is offensive to some;
(6) Congress enacted the Religious Freedom Res-
toration Act of 1993 to restate and make clear again
our intent and position that religious liberty is and
should forever be granted protection from unwar-
ranted and unjustified government intrusions and
burdens;
(7) the Equal Employment Opportunity Com-
mission has written proposed guidelines to title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, published in the Fed-
eral Register on October 1, 1993, that expand the def-
inition of religious harassment beyond established
legal standards set forth by the Supreme Court, and
that may result in the infringement of religious lib-
erty;
(8) such guidelines do not appropriately resolve
issues related to religious liberty and religious expres-
sion in the workplace;
HR 4603 EAS
(9) properly drawn guidelines for the determina-
tion of religious harassment should provide appro-
priate guidance to employers and employees and as-
sist in the continued preservation of religious liberty
as guaranteed by the first amendment;
(10) the Commission states in its proposed
guidelines that it retains wholly separate guidelines
for the determination of sexual harassment because
the Commission believes that sexual harassment raises
issues about human interaction that are to some ex-
tent unique; and
(11) the subject of religious harassment also
raises issues about human interaction that are to
some extent unique in comparison to other harass-
ment.
(b) CATEGORY OF RELIGIOUS HARASSMENT IN PRO-
POSED GUIDELINES.—For purposes of issuing final regula-
tions under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in con-
nection with the proposed guidelines published by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission on October 1, 1993
(58 Fed. Reg. 51266), the Chairperson of the Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity Commission shall ensure that—
(1) the category of religion shall be withdrawn
from the proposed guidelines;
HR 4603 EAS
(2) any new guidelines for the determination of
religious harassment shall be drafted so as to make
explicitly clear that symbols or expressions of reli-
gious belief consistent with the first amendment and
the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 are
not to be restricted and do not constitute proof of har-
assment;
(3) the Commission shall hold public hearings on
such new proposed guidelines; and
(4) the Commission shall receive additional pub-
lic comment before issuing similar new regulations.
