TO PROVIDE A CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL TO THE COURAGEOUS CITIZEN WHO EXPOSED 
             THE CONSPIRACY TO MURDER MILLIONS OF AMERICANS

                                 ______


                        HON. FORTNEY PETE STARK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 18, 1994

  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, I have today introduced the following House 
Joint Resolution:

To Provide a Congressional Medal to the Courageous Citizen Who Exposed 
             the Conspiracy to Murder Millions of Americans

       Whereas one or more tobacco companies have known for 
     decades that cigarette smoking is addictive and threatens the 
     health and life of its users, and
       Whereas one or more tobacco companies have continued to 
     market tobacco products for financial gain in spite of their 
     knowledge that tobacco products are addictive and threaten 
     the health and life of their users and
       Whereas concealing this information is, in fact, a 
     conspiracy to murder millions of Americans, and
       Whereas someone has made public some of these concealed 
     documents, thus potentially helping save millions of 
     Americans in the future, and
       Whereas one tobacco company and its law firm are seeking to 
     punish the whistleblower through legal action, and
       Whereas anyone with any common sense recognizes that the 
     true criminals are those who concealed evidence that they 
     were plotting the murder of millions of Americans and that 
     the person who exposes this plot is displaying a true sense 
     of civic duty which should be rewarded: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
     United States of America in Congress assembled, That the 
     Congress shall bestow a Congressional Medal of Appreciation 
     for Public Spirit to the courageous citizen who made the 
     concealed documents public.
