 Expressing the sense of Congress that the people and companies of the 
United States and the United States Armed Forces should not participate 
  in the Paris Air Show, should the Government of France continue its 
opposition to the potential use of force to insure that Saddam Hussein 
  complies with United Nations resolutions concerning weapons of mass 
                              destruction.

Whereas international cooperation is essential in the war on terrorism and in 
        preventing the proliferation and use of weapons of mass destruction;
Whereas Iraq under Saddam Hussein has supported terrorism and developed and used 
        weapons of mass destruction;
Whereas Iraq is currently not in compliance with United Nations resolutions 
        concerning weapons of mass destruction;
Whereas Iraq poses both a terrorist and military threat to the world because it 
        is not in compliance with United Nations resolutions concerning weapons 
        of mass destruction;
Whereas the United States and France have been allies and friends for many 
        years;
Whereas the 45th Paris Air Show will take place at le Bourget, France, beginning 
        on June 15, 2003; and
Whereas as a member of the United Nations Security Council, France has opposed 
        United States leadership in leading an international coalition to force 
        Iraq to comply with United Nations Security Council resolutions 
        concerning weapons of mass destruction: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that the people and companies of the 
United States and the United States Armed Forces should not participate 
in the 45th Paris Air Show in France should the Government of France 
continue its opposition to the potential use of force to insure that 
Saddam Hussein complies with United Nations resolutions concerning 
weapons of mass destruction.
