                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President should report 
to Congress pursuant to section 4(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution as 
    it applies to the use of United States Armed Forces in Somalia.

Whereas United States Armed Forces are clearly engaged in hostilities in 
        Somalia;
Whereas the President has not formally reported to Congress pursuant to section 
        4(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution;
Whereas the requirements of the War Powers Resolution clearly apply to the use 
        of United States Armed Forces in Somalia; and
Whereas Congress has not formally enacted authorization for the use of United 
        States Armed Forces in a hostile situation abroad: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the President should immediately submit to the Speaker of the 
House of Representatives and to the President pro tempore of the Senate 
the report required by section 4(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution (50 
U.S.C. 1541, et seq.), setting forth the circumstances necessitating 
the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities in 
Somalia, the constitutional and legislative authority under which the 
introduction took place, and the estimated scope and duration of the 
involvement of such forces in Somalia.
