                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress relating to recent allegations of 
    espionage and illegal campaign financing that have brought into 
    question the loyalty and probity of Americans of Asian ancestry.

Whereas the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are truths we 
        hold as self-evident;
Whereas all Americans are entitled to the equal protection of law;
Whereas Americans of Asian ancestry have made profound contributions to American 
        life, including the arts, our economy, education, the sciences, 
        technology, politics, and sports, among others;
Whereas Americans of Asian ancestry have demonstrated their patriotism by 
        honorably serving to defend the United States in times of armed 
        conflict, from the Civil War to the present; and
Whereas due to recent allegations of espionage and illegal campaign financing, 
        the loyalty and probity of Americans of Asian ancestry has been 
        questioned: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) no Member of Congress or any other American should 
        generalize or stereotype the actions of an individual to an 
        entire group of people;
            (2) Americans of Asian ancestry are entitled to all rights 
        and privileges afforded to all Americans; and
            (3) the Attorney General, the Secretary of Energy, and the 
        Commissioner of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission 
        should, within their respective jurisdictions, vigorously 
        enforce the security of America's national laboratories and 
        investigate all allegations of discrimination in public or 
        private workplaces.
                                 <all>
