                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing disapproval by the Congress of the totalization agreement 
  between the United States and Mexico signed by the Commissioner of 
Social Security and the Director General of the Mexican Social Security 
                      Institute on June 29, 2004.

Whereas a totalization agreement between the United States and Mexico was signed 
        by the Commissioner of Social Security and the Director General of the 
        Mexican Social Security Institute on June 29, 2004;
Whereas a totalization agreement between the United States and Mexico negatively 
        impacts the Social Security system of the United States and puts 
        America's seniors at risk; and
Whereas such agreement awaits final approval by the President and transmittal to 
        the Congress and is not effective prior to such approval and 
        transmittal: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the President should immediately disapprove the 
        totalization agreement signed by the Commissioner of Social 
        Security and the Director General of the Mexican Social 
        Security Institute on June 29, 2004, and refrain from 
        transmitting such agreement to the Congress; and
            (2) the Commissioner of Social Security should withdraw 
        from any further negotiations with Mexico relating to 
        totalization arrangements between the United States and Mexico.
                                 <all>
