                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                            October 17, 2002

  Mrs. Boxer (for herself and Mr. Brownback) submitted the following 
             resolution; which was considered and agreed to

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Condemning the posting on the Internet of video and pictures of the 
  murder of Daniel Pearl and calling on such video and pictures to be 
                          removed immediately.

Whereas Daniel Pearl, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, was murdered by 
        terrorists following his abduction in Pakistan on January 23, 2002;
Whereas video of Mr. Pearl's gruesome murder has been posted on web sites;
Whereas this video was made by terrorists for anti-American propaganda purposes, 
        in an attempt to recruit new terrorists and to spread a message of hate;
Whereas posting this video on web sites undermines efforts to fight terrorism 
        throughout the world by glorifying such heinous acts;
Whereas posting this video on web sites could invite more abductions and more 
        murders of innocent civilians by anti-American terrorists because of the 
        attention these heinous acts might gain from such posting; and
Whereas posting this video on the Internet shows a complete and utter disrespect 
        for Mr. Pearl's life and legacy and a complete and utter disregard for 
        the respect of his family: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) calls on all terrorist-produced murder video and 
        pictures to be removed from all web sites immediately; and
            (2) encourages all web-site operators to refrain from 
        placing any terrorist-produced murder videos and pictures on 
        the Internet.
