        H.Con. Res.132
                                            Agreed to September 25, 1996

                       One Hundred Fourth Congress

                                 of the

                        United States of America


                          AT THE SECOND SESSION

         Begun and held at the City of Washington on Wednesday,
   the third day of January, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-six


                          Concurrent Resolution


 
    Relating to the trial of Martin Pang for arson and felony murder.

Whereas it is alleged that Martin Pang intentionally started a 
  warehouse fire in Seattle, Washington on January 5, 1995, that killed 
  four firefighters;
Whereas shortly thereafter Martin Pang fled to Brazil from where he was 
  extradited to the United States on March 1, 1996;
Whereas the extradition decision of the Supreme Court of Brazil states 
  that Martin Pang should stand trial in the United States only for 
  arson and not for felony murder; and
Whereas it is accepted international practice in extradition cases for 
  the executive authorities of the requested state to grant consent for 
  prosecution of offenses other than those for which the fugitive was 
  extradited: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that in the interests of justice 
and furthering good relations between the United States and Brazil, the 
Government of Brazil should grant its consent to prosecution of Martin 
Pang for both arson and felony murder.
Attest:

                                 Clerk of the House of Representatives.

Attest:

                                               Secretary of the Senate.
