                               RESOLUTION


 
     Condemning the racism and bigotry espoused by the Council of 
                         Conservative Citizens.

Whereas the population of the United States contains a spectrum of many diverse 
        and rich cultures, races, and religious beliefs that contribute to the 
        vitality and stability of the Nation;
Whereas the House of Representatives strongly opposes racism, bigotry, and all 
        forms of ethnic and religious intolerance;
Whereas the Council of Conservative Citizens is an outgrowth of the 
        segregationalist ``White Citizens Council'', commonly known as the 
        White-Collar Klan, which helped to enforce segregation in the 1950s and 
        1960s;
Whereas the Council of Conservative Citizens promotes racism, divisiveness, and 
        intolerance through its newsletter, World Wide Web site, and public 
        discourse;
Whereas the Council of Conservative Citizens promulgates dogma that supports 
        white supremacy and anti-Semitism and maliciously denigrates great 
        American leaders including Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King, 
        Jr.; and
Whereas the Council of Conservative Citizens provides access to, and 
        opportunities for the promotion of, extremist neo-Nazi ideology and 
        propaganda that incite hate crimes and violence: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns the racism and bigotry espoused by the Council 
        of Conservative Citizens;
            (2) condemns all manifestations and expressions of racism, 
        bigotry, and religious intolerance wherever they occur; and
            (3) urges all Members of the House of Representatives not 
        to support or endorse the Council of Conservative Citizens and 
        its views.
