preamble

<preamble> <whereas> <text> Whereas President Obama is to be commended for rightfully seeking the authorization from Congress on the use of military force in Syria; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas, on August 30, 2013, President Obama stated that the United States has <quote> high confidence that the Syrian regime carried out a chemical weapons attack that killed well over 1,000 people, including hundreds of children </quote> ; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas the United States and 188 other countries comprising 98 percent of the world’s population are parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling, or use of chemical weapons; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas, on August 30, 2013, Secretary of State Kerry stated, <quote> We believe the primary objective is to have a diplomatic process that can resolve this through negotiation because we know there is no ultimate military solution. It has to be political. It has to happen at the negotiating table. And we are deeply committed to getting there. </quote> ; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas, on August 30, 2013, President Obama stated, <quote> There's not going to be a solely military solution to the underlying conflict and tragedy that’s taking place in Syria. </quote> ; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas, on September 10, 2013, President Obama stated, <quote> the Russian government has indicated a willingness to join with the international community in pushing Assad to give up his chemical weapons, </quote> and that <quote> this initiative has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force, particularly because Russia is one of Assad’s strongest allies </quote> ; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas a military strike could result in grave unintended consequences leading to further loss of life and bloodshed, including retaliation from the Assad regime, the escalation of the war in Syria and possibly the region, and possibly resulting in more threats to United States military and diplomatic facilities in the region or regional partners such as Israel, Turkey, or Jordan; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas a military strike could lead to deeper and more direct United States intervention in the Syrian civil war resulting in unknown costs in both lives and resources; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas a military strike could accelerate the numbers of refugees flowing into neighboring countries and lead to more Syrians being internally displaced; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas, on September 1, 2013, the number of Syrian refugees passed the threshold of 2,000,000 according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and a further 4,250,000 people are displaced inside Syria, according to data as of August 27, 2013, from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas Secretary of State Kerry reaffirmed during his confirmation hearings in January 2013, “A U.N. resolution is a necessary ingredient to provide the legal basis for military action in an emergency.”; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas, at present, there is no United Nations Security Council authorization and international legal justification for a United States attack on Syria and the utilization of military force could both set a dangerous international precedent and significantly weaken the United Nations as an institution; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas the United Nations was established for the purpose of preventing war and resolving conflicts through peaceful means, including <quote> by negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, resort to regional arrangements, or other peaceful means. </quote> ; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas, at present, United Nations inspectors investigating the use of chemical weapons in Syria have not completed their work and released their report; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas, according to a Pew Poll taken between August 29 and September 1, 2013, 6 in 10 Americans (61 percent) state that United States airstrikes in Syria are likely to lead to a long-term United States military commitment there, and 3 in 4 Americans (74 percent) state that United States airstrikes in Syria are likely to create a backlash against the United States and its allies in the region; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas the conflict in Syria will only be resolved through a negotiated political settlement, and Congress calls on all parties to the conflict in Syria to work through the United Nations and with the international community; and </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas, under the principle of extra-territorial jurisdiction, the United States and other nations should accept a shared responsibility to investigate and prosecute crimes against humanity and other crimes under international law committed in Syria, before national courts in fair trials and without recourse to the death penalty: Now, therefore, be it </text> </whereas> </preamble>

preamble

<preamble> <whereas> <text> Whereas affordable, abundant, reliable coal-fueled electric energy is essential to the Nation’s economy, jobs, national security, and energy independence; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas the Environmental Protection Agency has issued a proposed rule that would limit the Nation’s energy options and lead to increased power costs for American families and businesses; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas the proposed rule would be detrimental to the Nation’s coal mining regions and the livelihoods and well-being of American coal miners, their families, and their communities; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas the energy and environmental policies of the Administration have stymied private-sector investment in new coal-fueled power plants, undermining the integrity of economic assumptions on which the proposed rule is based; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas the Administration has failed to provide sufficient funding and leadership to further the development and broad deployment of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies, and the only new power plants projected to be equipped to meet the standards under the proposed rule are those that incorporate federally funded CCS technology; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas emissions caps in the proposed rule are expected to influence future caps on emissions from existing coal-fueled power plants, natural gas-fired power plants, and manufacturers; </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas worldwide consumption of coal is expected to increase among China, India, and other foreign competitor nations in the coming decades and the proposed rule will do nothing to address resulting increases in emissions from foreign sources; and </text> </whereas> <whereas> <text> Whereas proposed unilateral emissions caps would stifle the Nation’s growth, contribute to trade disadvantages, undermine the Nation’s international competitiveness, and contribute to the loss of American jobs: Now, therefore, be it </text> </whereas> </preamble>
