(4) rapidly developing technology makes it possible that projections of election results will be made earlier and in more elections, especially in States with more than one poll closing time (which States might consider adopting a single closing time); (5) if projections of election results are based on exit interviews and the news media do not voluntarily refrain from making those projections before the polls close, then a uniform closing time will not solve this problem; and (6) with the approach of the 1984 election, there is continued concern about the impact of early projections of election results on the electoral process. SEC. 2. In light of the findings set forth in the first section of this resolution, it is the sense of the Congress that, to maintain the appropriate balance between freedom of the press and the integrity of the electoral process, in future elections— (1) broadcasters and other members of the news media should voluntarily refrain from characterizing or projecting results of an election before all polls for the office have closed; and

(2) the news media, including industry, trade, and professional organizations, should adopt guidelines to assure that data from exit interviews are not used to characterize or project results of an election before all polls for the office have closed. Agreed to September 21, 1984.

 Masuah, Poncet crossed the Red Sea to Jidda, passing the island Dahalac and Korumbal, a high rock, the name of which is not known to many navigators.

old Murat, Musa, and Hagi Ah, happened at that time to have been upon some mercantile errand to Cairo, there is no doubt but they would have been presented and become ambassadors to France. They would have gone there, perplexed the minister and the consul with a thousand lies and contrivances, which the French never would have been able to unravel; they would have promised every thing; obtained from the king some considerable sum of money, on which they would have undertaken to fend the embassy in any form that was prescribed, and, after their return home, never been heard of more. But those worthies were, probably, all employed at this time; therefore the only thing Poncet could do was to bring Murat, since he was to procure at all events an ambassador.

had been a cook to a French merchant at Aleppo; was a maker of brandy at Masuah; and probably his uncle old Murat's servant at the time. But he was not the worse ambassador for this. Old Murat, Hagi Ali, and Musa, had perhaps been also cooks and servants in their time. Prudence, sobriety, and good conduct, skill in languages, and acquaintance, with countries recommended them afterwards to higher trusts. Old Murat probably meant that his nephew should begin his apprenticeship with that embassy to France; and M. Poncet, to increase his consequence, and fulfil, the commission the consul gave him, allowed him to invent all the rest.

AFGHAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS— UNITED

STATES

SUPPORT

Whereas the freedom fighters of Afghanistan have withstood the might of the Soviet Army for over four years and gained the admiration of free men and women the world over with their courageous sacrifice, bravery, and determination; Whereas the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is the first Soviet seizure of independent territory since the 1940's and represents a dangerous and unacceptable development in Soviet foreign policy; Whereas the struggle for liberation in Afghanistan can succeed if those of us who believe in freedom come to its support; Whereas the European Parliament, the Non-Aligned Movement, the United Nations, the Conference of Islamic Nations, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and the United States Congress have all condemned the Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan; Whereas the Soviet airbases in southwest Afghanistan present an unacceptable threat to the Hormuz oil passage lanes which are so vital to the free world's economies; Whereas many individuals and private organizations all over the world have already sent substantial aid to the Afghan freedom fighters; and Whereas it would be indefensible to provide the freedom fighters with only enough aid to fight and die but not enough to advance their cause of freedom: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That it should be the policy of the United States— (1) to encourage and support the people of Afghanistan to continue their struggle to be free of foreign domination; (2) to support effectively the people of Afghanistan in their fight for freedom; (3) to pursue a negotiated settlement of the war in Afghanistan, based on the total withdrawal of Soviet troops and the recognition of the inalienable right of the Afghan people to choose their own destiny free from outside interference or coercion, so that the four million Afghan refugees can return to their country in safety and in honor.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS—OCT. 4, 1984 RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION IN WARSAW PACT STATES—U.S. OPPOSITION

Whereas the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, and the Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief, adopted by the same body on November 25, 1981, proclaim the principles of nondiscrimination and equality before the law and the universal right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion for all individuals; Whereas the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (hereafter referred to as the Helsinki Final Act), which all of the Warsaw Pact states have signed, commits the participating states to act in conformity with the purposes and principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to fulfill their obligations with respect to human rights and fundamental freedoms as set forth in international law; Whereas the Helsinki Final Act reaffirms the commitment of the participating states to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms including the freedom of the individual to profess and practice, alone or in community with others, religion or belief acting in accordance with the dictates of his own conscience; Whereas the constitutions of the Warsaw Pact states provide for freedom of religion both for the individual and for religious groups or sects, the laws of these states are highly restrictive with respect to religious activities and practices and do not permit certain denominations such as the Baptists, Pentecostals, and the Seventh Day Adventists to practice their religion freely in the Soviet Union, or sects such as the Jehovah's Witnesses in Romania, East Germany and the Soviet Union and the Uniates in Romania and the Soviet Union to function as legally recognized religious entities; Whereas the governments of the Warsaw Pact states impede the free exercise of religion through administrative interference in the affairs of religious bodies including control over seminaries, religious publications and materials, construction and restoration of church buildings, finances, and the selection of religious leaders; Whereas the Government of Czechoslovakia, in particular, has not reached an agreement with the Vatican on filling the vacant bishoprics of the Roman Catholic Church in Czech and Slovak dioceses; Whereas religious believers in several Warsaw Pact states experience officially sanctioned discrimination in employment, housing, and education; Whereas the governments of most Warsaw Pact states severely restrict or prohibit optional religious instruction for children even on church premises; Whereas the Governments of Czechoslovakia, Romania, the Soviet Union, and at times Bulgaria persecute, imprison, and confine religious believers for exercising religious freedom; Whereas the Government of Poland has attempted to exert pressure on the Catholic Church to endorse governmental policies, particularly with respect to Solidarity and its members; Whereas the Government of Czechoslovakia has increased persecution of clergy and religious believers, especially those of the Catholic faith, since the birth of Solidarity in Poland;

Whereas the restrictions imposed by the Government of the Soviet Union on the activities of all religious groups including officially recognized groups such as the Russian Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Four Islamic Spiritual Boards, and the All-Union Council of Evangelical Christians and Baptists are so severe that thousands of Soviet believers have been forced to form illegal groups in order to practice their religion according to their conscience; Whereas the Soviet Union has severely curtailed the right of Jevi'^s to study and practice their religion and to adhere to their cultural traditions; Whereas religious activity in the occupied Baltic States of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia has been harshly repressed by the Government of the Soviet Union; and Whereas in most cases the Warsaw Pact states prevent individuals from escaping religious persecution by denying the fundamental right to emigrate to all of their citizens: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring). That the Congress opposes and condemns infringement of religious freedom, persecution of religious believers, and discrimination on religious grounds by the Governments of the Warsaw Pact states. SEC. 2, Accordingly, it is the sense of the Congress that the Human rights. Government of the United States should raise publicly and privately the failure of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, German Democratic Republic, Hungary, and Poland, Warsaw Pact states, to fulfill commitments on religious freedom undertaken in the Helsinki Final Act and to respect international law on human rights and fundamental freedoms, especially in the area of religion, at every appropriate international forum, including all of the meetings of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, all appropriate gatherings of the United Nations, and in bilateral meetings with the offending governments. SEC. 3. The President shall transmit a copy of this resolution to the Ambassador from each of the Warsaw Pact states. Agreed to October 4, 1984.

UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLIC'S DISREGARD FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ESPECIALLY IN THE UKRAINE— UNITED STATES CONDEMNATION Whereas over seven million Ukrainians in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which was created as the result of direct aggression by the Russian Communist military forces against the Ukrainian National Republic in 1918-1920, died of starvation during the years 1932-1933; and Whereas Moscow having full and complete control of the entire food supplies within the borders of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, nevertheless failed to take relief measures to check the

disastrous famine or to alleviate the catastrophic conditions arising from it, but on the contrary used the famine as a means of reducing the Ukrainian population and destroying Ukrainian national, political, cultural, and religious rights; and Whereas Moscow targeted the Ukrainian people for destruction as a whole by directing special draconic decrees against Ukrainian peasants as "an enemy class", against the Ukrainian intelligentsia as "bourgeois Ukrainian nationalists", and against the Ukrainian Autocephalic Orthodox Church as "a remnant of the old prejudicial 'opiate of the people' "—committed on a gigantic and unprecedented scale the heinous crime of genocide, as defined by the United Nations Genocide Convention; and Whereas numerous appeals from prominent organizations and individuals throughout the world, such as the League of Nations, the International Red Cross, and several groups of parliamentarians from the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Belgium, and Holland who earnestly appealed to the Communist Government in Moscow for appropriate steps to help the millions of starving Ukrainians, went unheeded by the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; and Whereas intercessions have been made at various times by the United States during the course of its history on behalf of citizens of countries persecuted by their governments, indicating that it has been the traditional policy of the United States to take cognizance of such destruction of human beings as the famine holocaust in Ukraine in 1933; and Whereas on May 28, 1934, Congressman Hamilton Fish, of New York, introduced in the House of Representatives a resolution (H. Res. 399, 73d Cong., 2d sess.) urging the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to end its genocidal policy toward the Ukrainian people and to place no obstacles in the way of American citizens seeking to send aid to the famine-stricken regions of Ukraine: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), the Congress hereby condemns the systematic disregard for human life and for human and national rights and liberties that characterizes the policies of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, expresses sympathy for the millions of victims of such policies and urges the President to— (1) proclaim a day for mournful commemoration of the great famine in the Ukraine during the year 1933, which constituted a deliberate and imperialistic policy of Moscow to destroy the intellectual elite and large segments of the population of the Ukraine and thus enhance its totalitarian Communist rule over the conquered Ukrainian nation; (2) urge the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to remove current restrictions on the shipment of food parcels and other necessities to residents of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics by private individuals and charitable organizations; (3) issue a warning that continued subjugation of the Ukrainian nation as well as other non-Russian nations within the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics constitutes a threat to world peace and normal relationships among the peoples of Europe and the world at large; and

EMIGRATION RIGHTS OF SOVIET JEWS Whereas the Government of the Soviet Union is pursuing a policy of virtually closing its borders to Jewish emigration, as evidenced by declining emigration levels which for 1982 were the lowest since 1970, with only two thousand six hundred and eighty-eight Soviet Jews allowed to emigrate; Whereas this policy has left tens of thousands of people seeking to emigrate from the Soviet Union with little hope of being granted permission to emigrate in the foreseeable future; Whereas there are several hundred long-term "refuseniks", including many children, who applied to emigrate from the Soviet Union between 1970 and 1976 and have been waiting for permission to emigrate since that time; Whereas those who have been denied emigration rights, especially the long-term "refuseniks", are often subjected to a life as internal refugees in the Soviet Union, resulting in loss of jobs, loss of membership in important social and professional organizations, revocation of academic degrees, surveillance and arbitrary assault, and other forms of harassment of social isolation; Whereas these individuals also suffer physical, emotional, and psychological problems which result from social isolation; Whereas these individuals are also denied the right to cultural expression, evidenced by the breaking up of cultural seminars and Hebrew classes and harassment by Soviet officials of those individuals participating in those forms of cultural expression; Whereas these individuals are subjected to arbitrary arrest, imprisonment, and internal exile, as is the case with the Jewish "Prisoners of Conscience" currently serving sentences in the Soviet Union; Whereas it is the stated policy of United States law, including section 502B(a)(l) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and section 402 of the Trade Act of 1974, that human rights considerations are a vital element of United States foreign policy; and Whereas the Government of the Soviet Union, by arbitrarily denying its citizens the right to emigrate and the right to religious and cultural expression, and by harassing members of a specific ethnic group, is violating the norms of international law as set forlth in agreements and declarations such as the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (hereafter in this concurrent resolution referred to as the "Helsinki Final Act"), the

Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act (43 U.S.C. 1591(b)), hereinafter referred to as the 'Act',". Agreed to October 10, 1984.

PROPOSED PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE PROGRAM BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES Whereas increases in illegal immigration from Mexico to the United States and social unrest in Central America have made it imperative that the people of the United States encourage efforts to strengthen economic and social relations with the people of Mexico and to promote economic revitalization and economic expansion opportunities in Mexico; Whereas not addressing issues relating to illegal immigration from Mexico (such as the 220 per centum increase from 1970 to 1982 in the number of illegal Mexican aliens apprehended in the United States) and the social instability in Central America to the South of Mexico (especially Communist influence in that area) may ultimately jeopardize the economic well-being and national security of both the United States and Mexico; Whereas financial stability, economic growth, and prosperity in Mexico would substantially help to address this problem; and Whereas the United States economy and the Mexican economy are inextricably linked to the extent that (1) Mexico is the third largest trading partner of the United States, (2) the United States is the predominant source of Mexico's exports, (3) Mexico is becoming an increasingly important consumer of United States manufactured goods, machinery, and service, (4) Mexico is the fourth largest source of foreign oil for the United States and is of critical strategic importance as a stable supply of oil, (5) two-thirds of the foreign investments in Mexico are held by United States investors, (6) United States banks have loaned Mexico an amount equivalent to 30 per centum of Mexico's foreign debt: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring). That (a) it is the sense of the Congress that the President should study the advisability and practicality of proposing to Mexico the establishment of a collaborative people-to-people program between Mexico and the United States. The President should explore a program that would— (1) be a bold new initiative to serve as the ultimate coordinating body of collaborative programs of mutual interest to Mtexico and the United States and to create a climate of growth and economic prosperity in Mexico; (2) contribute to economic development in Mexico, reinforcing measures in the fields of trade, investment, and financial assistance, in order to address current and anticipated needs and developments and to foster self-reliance;

(3) serve as a source of financial and technical assistance to carry out these goals drawing on, encouraging, and coordinating participation of existing United States programs and activities, international assistance programs, overseas programs of United States colleges and universities, programs of the Mexican Government, and any new programs or activities which would be established as part of the people-to-people program; (4) target assistance based on findings of need in areas such as agricultural productivity, industrial research, building construction, transportation systems, research and development, and energy alternatives, and take into consideration the findings of the United States-Mexico Science and Technology Mixed Commission; (5) draw extensively on and foster the development of local Mexican businesses, civic organizations, and labor organizations, and rely on private sector local and foreign initiatives; and (6) rely on volunteers in a composition which would provide a mixture of workers, advisers, and consultants with skills not sufficiently available in Mexico. (b) In studying such a people-to-people program, the President should consider how the program should be administered. (c) Such study should consider the possibility of the Governments of the United States and Mexico establishing a Mixed Commission for the formulation, orientation, and review of the program. The Commission would meet whenever necessary, alternately in Mexico and the United States. The Commission would meet at the request of either Government and be made up of Mexicans and Americans appointed, through diplomatic channels, whenever a meeting is held. The Mixed Commission would examine matters relating to the execution of the program, determine the plan of activities to be undertaken, examine periodically the program as a whole, and make recommendations to the two Governments. It could also suggest that special meetings be held on a specific project or subject. (d) The Congress requests that the results of the President's study of the people-to-people program be transmitted to the Congress within one year after the adoption of this resolution. Agreed to October 10, 1984.

since 1981, such imports have increased yearly from one hundred forty-six thousand head to an estimated more than one million head in 1984; "The adverse economic effect of the recent surge in imports of Canadian hogs and pork products on United States pork producers has been estimated to be in excess of $500,000,000 in 1982 and 1983, and approximately $300,000,000 during the first five months of 1984; "The Canadian Government provides price support for hogs at a level equal to 90 per centum of the previous five-year average market price, indexed for changes in cash costs of production of hogs, which represented a payment of $6.54 per head to Canadian pork producers last year, and all but one provincial government of Canada also provide direct production assistance to support Canadian pork producers; and "It is essential that the administration act immediately to address the threat to the United States pork production industry caused by the dramatic increase in imports of hogs and pork products from Canada.
