                               RESOLUTION


 
           Condemning the racist remarks of William Bennett.

Whereas William J. Bennett hosts a radio program, ``Morning in America'', which 
        airs on approximately 115 radio stations with an estimated weekly 
        audience of 1.25 million listeners;
Whereas on September 28th, 2005, Mr. Bennett said on his radio program, ``But I 
        do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if 
        that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this 
        country, and your crime rate would go down.''; and
Whereas Mr. Bennett's remarks are outrageous and blatantly racist: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns the comments made by William J. Bennett on his 
        radio program, ``Morning in America'', as outrageous racism of 
        the most bigoted and ignorant kind; and
            (2) condemns all manifestations and expressions of racism 
        and ethnic intolerance.
