                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Relating to the extradition of Martin Pang from Brazil to the United 
                                States.

Whereas it is alleged that Martin Pang started a warehouse fire in Seattle, 
        Washington on January 5, 1995, that killed four firefighters;
Whereas shortly thereafter Martin Pang fled to Brazil where he currently awaits 
        extradition to the United States on charges of arson and first degree 
        murder;
Whereas the extradition orders of the Government of Brazil state that Martin 
        Pang should stand trial in the United States only for arson and not for 
        first degree murder; and
Whereas nothing under international law prevents the Government of Brazil from 
        extraditing Martin Pang to the United States to stand trial for both 
        arson and first degree murder: 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 
furthering good relations between the United States and Brazil, the 
Government of Brazil should reverse its extradition orders relating to 
Martin Pang and allow Martin Pang to be extradited to the United States 
to stand trial for both arson and first degree murder.
