Concerning the approximately one hundred and ninety children and youths 
at the Romanian Institution for the Unsalvageables at Sighetu Marmatiei 
         who are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance.

Whereas there are approximately one hundred and ninety children and youths at 
        the Romanian Institution for the Unsalvageables at Sighetu Marmatiei who 
        are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance, including proper 
        medical attention and treatment;
Whereas a private, nonprofit organization known as the Chalcedon Foundation of 
        Vallecito, California, in coordination with EPIC Healthcare Group of 
        Dallas, Texas, has committed to facilitating such assistance through the 
        provision of medical attention and treatment and housing for such 
        children and youths in the United States;
Whereas the Chalcedon Foundation has guaranteed that once these children and 
        youths arrive in the United States they will not become a public charge 
        or burden on the taxpayer; and
Whereas increased cooperation among the United States Government, the Government 
        of Romania, and interested individuals and humanitarian organizations is 
        needed if these children and youths are to be saved: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Congress calls upon--
            (1) the Government of Romania to allow the approximately 
        one hundred and ninety children and youths at the Romanian 
        Institution for the Unsalvageables at Sighetu Marmatiei to come 
        to the United States for humanitarian assistance, including 
        proper medical attention and treatment; and
            (2) the Secretary of State to facilitate this process by 
        granting these children and youths entry into the United States 
        with the immediacy that their intolerable situation demands.

                                 <all>
