                               AMENDMENTS

  Under clause 6 of rule XXIII, proposed amendments were submitted as 
follows:

                               H.R. 3221

           By Mr. SOLOMON:
     --Page 12, after line 2, insert the following:

     SEC. 11. PROSECUTION OF SADDAM HUSSEIN AND OTHER MEMBERS OF 
                   THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT FOR WAR CRIMES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) as ordered by Saddam Hussein, Iraq engaged in 
     unprovoked aggression in its conquest and occupation of 
     Kuwait;
       (2) the Iraqi occupation force treated Kuwaiti citizens 
     barbarously;
       (3) Saddam Hussein used American and European civilians as 
     ``human shields'' in an attempt to protect strategic 
     facilities throughout Iraq and directed that captured 
     American and allied prisoners of war be used for the same 
     purposes;
       (4) Saddam Hussein ordered his military to launch missile 
     attacks against innocent civilians in Israel and Saudi 
     Arabia; and
       (5) former President Bush and President Clinton rightly 
     warned Saddam Hussein and Iraqi Government officials that 
     they would be held responsible for any abuses they have 
     caused.
       (b) Establishment of Tribunal.--The Congress urges the 
     President to request the United Nations to establish a 
     tribunal to charge Saddam Hussein and other responsible Iraqi 
     Government officials for war crimes, acts of aggression, and 
     crimes against humanity they have committed.
