               MURKOWSKI (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 4041

  Mr. MURKOWSKI (for himself, Mr. Warner, Mr. McCain, Mr. Chafee, and 
Mr. Smith) proposed an amendment to amendment No. 4022 proposed by Mr. 
McCain, supra; as follows:

       Strike all after the word ``Sec.'' and insert:
       The Congress finds that--
       (1) The Founding Fathers were committed to the principle of 
     civilian control of the military;
       (2) Every President since George Washington has affirmed 
     the principle of civilian control of the military;
       (3) Twenty-six President of the United States served in the 
     United States Armed Forces prior to their inauguration and 
     none of them claimed the Presidency represented a 
     continuation of their military service;
       (4) No President of the United States prior to May 15, 
     1996, has ever sought relief from legal action on the basis 
     of serving as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed 
     Forces;
       (5) President Clinton is the subject of a sexual harassment 
     lawsuit filed on May 6, 1994, in Federal District Court in 
     Little Rock, Arkansas involving allegations about his conduct 
     in May, 1991;
       (6) On May 15, 1996, a legal brief filed on behalf of the 
     President of the United States in the Supreme Court asserted 
     the President of the United States may be entitled to the 
     protections afforded members of the United States Armed 
     Forces under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act of 1940 
     (50 U.S.C. 501 et. al); and
       (7) The purpose of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief 
     Act of 1940 is to enable members of the military services 
     ``to devote their entire energy to the defense needs of the 
     nation''.
       It is the sense of the Senate that the assumptions 
     underlying this resolution include that the President of the 
     United States should state unequivocally that he is not 
     entitled to and will not seek relief from legal action under 
     the Soliders' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, and that 
     he will direct removal from his legal brief any reference to 
     the protections of the Act.

                          ____________________
