                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the Congress that the percentage of United 
      States Armed Forces participating in the United Nations-led 
  peacekeeping force in Haiti should not exceed the annual percentage 
 assessed the United States by the United Nations for contributions to 
       finance the peacekeeping activities of the United Nations.

Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 940 (July 31, 1994) 
        authorized the formation of a multinational force for the purpose of 
        facilitating the return to Haiti of the democratically elected President 
        Jean Bertrand Aristide;
Whereas approximately 20,000 United States troops have been deployed to Haiti as 
        a part of the multinational force for the purpose of establishing a 
        secure and stable environment for the return to Haiti of President 
        Aristide;
Whereas the efforts of the international community in the Western Hemisphere and 
        throughout the world are vital to enabling a democratic transition to 
        occur and be sustained in Haiti;
Whereas the success of this democratic transition fundamentally relies on the 
        establishment of independent democratic institutions in Haiti which in 
        turn will improve the economic and political stability in Haiti;
Whereas the United States is contributing a significant amount of resources to 
        support the United States-led multinational force in Haiti;
Whereas a United Nations-led peacekeeping force in Haiti will be deployed upon 
        completion of the mission of the United States-led multinational force 
        in Haiti; and
Whereas the United States is charged a peacekeeping assessment by the United 
        Nations annually for the purpose of financing the peacekeeping 
        activities of the United Nations in troubled regions of the world: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that the percentage of United 
States Armed Forces participating in the United Nations-led 
peacekeeping force in Haiti (known as the ``United Nations Mission in 
Haiti'' or ``UNMIH'') to be deployed upon completion of the mission of 
the United States-led multinational force in Haiti should be no higher 
than the percentage assessed the United States by the United Nations 
for contributions to finance the peacekeeping activities of the United 
Nations for the year in which UNMIH becomes operational.
