                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
To commend the National Broadcast Company, and the Ford Motor Company, 
    for broadcasting the film ``Schindler's List'' in its original, 
         unedited version and without commercial interruption.

Whereas the Holocaust, in which 6,000,000 Jews as well as millions of others 
        were killed solely because of their ethnic identities, is one of the 
        worst tragedies in history;
Whereas the film ``Schindler's List'' treats the subject of the Holocaust with 
        gravity and compassion;
Whereas memorialization of the Holocaust and accurate knowledge of its history 
        are necessary in order to avert future such occurrences; and
Whereas the National Broadcast Company, and the Ford Motor Company, elected to 
        broadcast the film in its original, unedited version and without 
        commercial interruption due to the film's importance in educating the 
        public about the Holocaust: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the National Broadcast Company, and the Ford Motor Company, are 
commended for broadcasting the film ``Schindler's List'' in its 
original, unedited version and without commercial interruption due to 
the film's importance in educating the public about the Holocaust.
