II. TEXTS OF RESOLUTIONS ON WHICH FINAL ACTION WAS

TAKEN

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 33

Whereas on November 17, 1983, the Government of Costa Rica proclaimed that country's neutrality;

Whereas such neutrality enables Costa Rica to minimize its involvement in Central America's conflicts, thereby preserving domestic stability and democracy and enhancing its ability to address its severe economic problems;

Whereas such neutrality also enables Costa Rica to play an important role in attempts to achieve political settlements of Central America's conflicts; and Whereas it is in the interest of the United States that Costa Rica maintain its neutral status: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the Congress supports Costa Rica's neutrality and urges the President to support such neutrality.

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 57

Whereas the United States faces the challenge of leading the world to a new era of prosperity, created in significant part by enabling the dynamism of the private sector to use its creative talents in the third world;

Whereas nations have identified food self-reliance as a priority national goal; Whereas the challenge to help the world's hungry is a global concern and ultimately a matter of United States national security, the direct result of a world grown more interdependent, and dictated by traditional humanitarian concerns; Whereas the challenge must not be confronted solely within the context of an existing crisis, but with an eye toward the future food requirements of developing countries;

Whereas both the private and public sectors, by reason of their knowledge, experience, and other resources, have a valuable role to play in alleviating world hunger; Whereas American involvement with helping the hungry abroad has encompassed a wide spectrum of activities in both the public and private sectors;

Whereas out of past successes and failures have come a better understanding of the benefits and limitations of the activities of each sector;

Whereas the issue is not generally public sector activities versus private sector activities, but the appropriate combination of each under the right conditions; Whereas the conditions that are "right" vary enormously from country to country, depending on the respective stage of development of and the development priorities established by the country, and the services offered by prospective foreign investors;

Whereas corporate investment, as is evidenced by the work of the organizations represented by the Fowler-McCracken Commission, has far-reaching implications for efforts to alleviate world hunger, both through direct involvement in national food systems and, more generally, through its impact upon employment levels, purchasing power, income distribution, balance of payments questions, and productivity in developing nations;

Whereas the most attractive countries for foreign investors remain the middle and upper-income developing countries where rapid advances are being made in industrialization and the expansion of economic and social infrastructure; and Whereas the less affluent developing countries have the greatest food problems-the critical lack of trained manpower and expertise and the need for farm-tomarket roads, irrigation systems, communication networks, and newer port facilities-but offer little incentive for investment by foreign corporations: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that in order to meet the challenge of encouraging private

sector investment in developing countries and to target some of that investment so that it helps alleviate hunger, it is necessary to encourage the private sector to become involved with other nations wherever it can in the worldwide effort to alleviate hunger.

SEC. 2. It is further the sense of the Congress that, in light of the market for many developing country products, such investment by the private sector must be encouraged in order to promote income generation, improved natural resource management, and efforts to alleviate world hunger.

SEC. 3. It is further the sense of the Congress that

(1) America's leading institutions in the public and private sectors should join forces, during this year and through the balance of this decade, in developing the commitments and the action plan essential to ending world hunger;

(2) the Fowler-McCracken Commission and other interested organizations should work together at the national, regional, and State level to build a national commitment so crucial to the success of this mission;

(3) such an undertaking should be designed to secure from private firms a commitment to a corporate agenda that reflects a resolve to end world hunger; and

(4) particular consideration should be devoted to mobilizing the public and private resources needed to assist the less-affluent developing countries in enabling their people to meet basic human needs.

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 110

Whereas Henry Liu, a United States citizen of Chinese ancestry, was murdered in Daly City, California, on October 15, 1984;

Whereas certain citizens of Taiwan have been, and others may be, charged by authorities in the United States in connection with this crime;

Whereas certain citizens and government officials of Taiwan, including Vice Admiral Wang Hsi-ling, head of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, have been indicted in Taiwan for involvement in the murder of Henry Liu; Whereas Taiwan has requested on numerous occasions that an extradition agreement be concluded with the United States; and

Whereas an extradition agreement with Taiwan would improve the administration of criminal justice in the United States: Now therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the American Institute in Taiwan and the Coordination Council for North American Affairs should take immediate steps to conclude an extradition agreement which meets the best interests of both sides. SEC. 2. It is further the sense of the Congress that

(1) inasmuch as legal proceedings against several of the individuals charged with the murder of Henry Liu are currently underway in Taiwan, justice be done under the laws of Taiwan;

(2) the authorities on Taiwan should cooperate fully with authorities in the United States in the investigation and prosecution of the case of Henry Liu; and (3) following the current proceedings in Taiwan referred to in paragraph (1), the authorities on Taiwan should exercise the powers they may have, under all applicable law

(A) to bring to justice any other individuals who may be criminally liable in accordance with law in connection with the murder of Henry Liu, and (B) to send to the United States, under appropriate legal processes, any citizen of Taiwan, and any other person in Taiwan, who is charged by authorities in the United States in connection with the murder of Henry Liu, and whose transfer to the United States is requested by authorities in the United States.

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 125

Whereas the President has announced his intention to visit the Bitburg Cemetery in West Germany during May 1985;

Whereas the majority of those Germans buried at Bitburg fought against American servicemen at the Battle of the Bulge, a battle in which 77,000 Americans died; Whereas Bitburg was a staging area for this last great battle of World War II; Whereas it is likely that some of the German soldiers buried at Bitburg participated in the massacre of American prisoners at Malmedy, Belgium;

Whereas many of those buried at Bitburg were members of the Waffen SS, an elite Nazi unit;
