RESOLUTION
Congratulating the Government and the people of the Repub-

tions for President and Vice President since the signing

mestic observers to be free and fair and a legitimate non-
violent expression of the will of the people of the Republic
of El Salvador;
Whereas the United States has consistently supported the ef-
forts of the people of El Salvador to consolidate their de-
•HRES 110 IH
mocracy and to implement the provisions of the 1992
peace accords;
Whereas these elections demonstrate the strength and diver-
sity of El Salvador’s democratic expression and promote
confidence that all political parties can work cooperatively
at every level of government; and
Whereas these open, fair, and democratic elections of the new
President and Vice President should be broadly com-
mended: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the

ple of the Republic of El Salvador for the successful
completion of democratic multiparty elections held

to democracy, which has helped in the building of
national unity in the Republic of El Salvador;

cal parties for their efforts to work together to take
risks for democracy and to willfully pursue national

reconciliation in order to cement a lasting peace and
to strengthen democratic traditions in El Salvador;
(5) supports Salvadoran attempts to continue

RESOLUTION
Affirming the Congress’ opposition to all forms of racism
and bigotry.
Whereas the United States of America has been enriched and
strengthened by the diversity and mutual respect of its
people;
Whereas the injustices and inequities of the past continue to
demand our forceful commitment, both as individuals and
as an institution, to equal justice under law and full op-
portunity for every American;
Whereas a racist attack upon any group of Americans is an
affront to every one who cherishes the promise of Amer-
ica and the values that sustain our democracy; and
Whereas every Member of Congress has a responsibility to
foster the best traditions and highest values of this na-
tion: Now, therefore, be it
HRES 121 IH
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) insists that no individual’s rights are nego-
tiable or open to compromise; and
(2) reaffirms the determination of all its Mem-
bers to oppose any individuals or organizations
which seek to divide Americans on the grounds of
race, religion, or ethnic origin; and
(3) denounces all those who practice or promote
racism, anti-Semitism, ethnic prejudice, or religious
intolerance; and
(4) calls upon all Americans of good will to re-
ject the forces of hatred and bigotry wherever and
in whatever form they may be found.
