                            January 7, 2003

Ms. Jackson-Lee of Texas (for herself, Mr. Kucinich, Ms. Lee, Mr. Davis 
    of Illinois, and Ms. Watson) submitted the following concurrent

                               Relations

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of Congress that the Authorization for Use of 
   Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 should be repealed.

Whereas the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 
        2002 (Public Law 107-243; 116 Stat. 1498), enacted into law on October 
        16, 2002, authorizes the President to use United States Armed Forces 
        against Iraq to defend the national security of the United States 
        against the continuing threat posed by Iraq and to enforce all relevant 
        United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq;
Whereas since the enactment of Public Law 107-243, Iraq has allowed 
        international weapons inspectors to re-enter Iraq in order to identify 
        and destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction stockpiles and 
        development capabilities;
Whereas since the enactment of Public Law 107-243, actions by North Korea 
        relating to its nuclear weapons capabilities pose a more immediate 
        threat to its neighbors and to the United States; and
Whereas in light of these circumstances, Congress should reexamine the threat 
        posed by Iraq, including by allowing time to review fully and accurately 
        the findings of the international weapons inspectors: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that the Authorization for Use of 
Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243; 116 
Stat. 1498) should be repealed.
                                 <all>
