   Expressing the sense of Congress in opposition to the efforts of 
certain groups to impose a sexual agenda on the children of the United 
                                States.

Whereas certain groups, including the Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenthood 
        Advisory Council of Texas (referred to in this resolution as ``APPAC'') 
        advocate the enactment of legislation to provide for the distribution in 
        public school systems of contraceptives and off-campus reproductive 
        health care, including abortion, without parental knowledge or consent;
Whereas the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States (referred 
        to in this resolution as ``SIECUS'') advocates the compulsory teaching, 
        in progressive stages from grades K-12, that homosexuality is equal to 
        heterosexuality, that homosexual and lesbian marriages offer all the 
        advantages of traditional families, and that ``. . . . legal abortion is 
        very safe'' and acceptable;
Whereas both APPAC and SIECUS advocate not only compulsory public school 
        instruction, using both visual and graphic techniques, of conventional 
        and deviant sexuality but also a ``Teen Bill of Rights'' that would 
        remove parental consent and religious considerations as factors in 
        teenage sexual activity and abortion;
Whereas abundant medical, pedagogical, and psychological evidence contradicts 
        and accordingly renders suspect the claims of APPAC and SIECUS; and
Whereas the legislative agenda advocated by APPAC and SIECUS represents an 
        unacceptable departure from the prevailing ethical values of the Nation: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that it opposes the proposals of 
the Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenthood Advisory Council of Texas and 
the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States.
