 Expressing the sense of Congress with respect to the use of racially 
    based quotas designed to thwart the implementation of the death 
                                penalty.

Whereas a racially based quota system designed to thwart the implementation of 
        the death penalty is vigorously opposed by the National District 
        Attorneys Association and the National Association of Attorneys General; 
        and
Whereas the death penalty is supported by a majority of Americans as a weapon 
        against the spread of violent crime: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that neither the President nor any 
other entity in the executive branch should attempt to impose a 
racially based quota system to challenge death penalties because such a 
system is antithetical to the American ideal of justice.
