SENATE RESOLUTION 451--EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE SENATE THAT A
POSTAGE STAMP SHOULD BE ISSUED HONORING OSKAR SCHINDLER
Mr. LAUTENBERG submitted the following resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Governmental Affairs:
S. Res. 451
Whereas during the Nazi occupation of Poland, Oskar
Schindler personally risked his life and that of his wife to
provide food and medical care and saved the lives of over
1,000 Jews, many of whom later made their homes in the United
States;
Whereas Oskar Schindler also rescued about 100 Jewish men
and women from the Golezow concentration camp, who lay
trapped and partly frozen in 2 sealed train cars stranded
near Brunnlitz;
Whereas millions of Americans have been made aware of the
story of Schindler's bravery;
Whereas on April 28, 1962, Oskar Schindler was named a
``Righteous Gentile'' by Yad Vashem; and
Whereas Oskar Schindler is a true hero and humanitarian
deserving of honor by the United States Government: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that the
Postal Service should issue a stamp honoring the life of
Oskar Schindler.
Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, I rise today to ask the Senate to
honor an individual who stands in high esteem in America and throughout
the world. I am pleased to submit a resolution calling on the Postal
Service to issue a stamp commemorating the life of Oskar Schindler.
Postage stamps are often reserved for individuals who have offered
especially significant contributions--Oskar Schindler demonstrates how
one person truly can make a difference in the world.
The stories of Oskar Schindler and his heroism are well-documented
and must never be forgotten. To speak against Hitler's genocide during
the Holocaust was rare; to help Jews escape from persecution was
perilous. Yet Oskar Schindler selflessly risked his own life to save
the lives of over 1200 Jewish men, women, and children. He also rescued
from the Golezow concentration camp approximately 100 Jewish men and
women who were trapped in a sealed and freezing railroad car.
I have had the benefit of learning about these heroics first-hand
from a New Jersey resident and friend of mine, Abraham Zuckerman. In
1942, Abraham was sent to the Plaszow concentration camp, where he
faced certain death--until the day he was told that he was on
Schindler's List. He attests: ``I am one of the Survivors and I owe my
life to the courage and strength of this great man. His life was always
in danger but still he persisted to do what he knew to be the right
thing, he saved the Jews anyway he could.'' Since the day Abraham
immigrated to the United States, he has made it a mission to keep Oskar
Schindler's contributions alive in the minds of Americans, and I thank
him for his efforts.
A ``general policy'' of the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, which
decides the subject matter of postage stamps, is that U.S. postage
stamps and stationery ``primarily will feature Americans or American-
related subjects.'' Oskar Schindler rescued many Jewish people who fled
areas ruled by Hitler and made America their home. His valor and
selflessness exhibit attributes that parallel the founding principles
of America and all democracies. He devoted much of his life in the
pursuit of freedom and humanitarianism. That is the ultimate American-
related subject.
Oskar Schindler's bravery and contributions make him worthy of honor
and recognition. Issuing a stamp in his memory would assure that his
story is told to a new generation.

SENATE RESOLUTION 452--DESIGNATING DECEMBER 13, 2004, AS ``NATIONAL DAY
OF THE HORSE'' AND ENCOURAGING THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES TO BE
MINDFUL OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF HORSES TO THE ECONOMY, HISTORY, AND
CHARACTER OF THE UNITED STATES
Mr. CAMPBELL submitted the following resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on the Judiciary:
S. Res. 452
Whereas the horse is a living link to the history of the
United States;
Whereas without horses, the economy, history, and character
of the United States would be profoundly different;
Whereas horses continue to permeate the society of the
United States, as witnessed on movie screens, on open land,
and in our own backyards;
Whereas horses are a vital part of the collective
experience of the United States and deserve protection and
compassion;
Whereas because of increasing pressure from modern society,
wild and domestic horses rely on humans for adequate food,
water, and shelter; and
Whereas the Congressional Horse Caucus estimates that the
horse industry contributes much more than $100,000,000,000
each year to the economy of the United States: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates December 13, 2004, as ``National Day of the
Horse'', in recognition of the importance of horses to the
security, economy, recreation, and heritage of the United
States;
(2) encourages all people of the United States to be
mindful of the contribution of horses to the economy,
history, and character of the United States; and
(3) requests that the President issue a proclamation
calling on the people of the United States and interested
organizations to observe the day with appropriate programs
and activities.
Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I am today submitting a resolution to
designate December 13, 2004 as ``The National Day of the Horse.''
The image of the horse is a fixture of American society, an icon
whose role has changed greatly through the history of our Nation, but
whose status has never wavered. Even for the very forefathers of our
country, the horse has meant not only transportation and utility, but
companionship and a way of life.
Who can forget the indelible images to which horses have given rise?
Mere mention of the American West conjures pictures of Plains Indians
hunting buffalo, dusty ranchers and cowboys on the trail for the great
cattle drives, and vast herds of wild mustangs roaming free across the
undiscovered frontier. Horses have been used in military campaigns,
police operations, to say nothing of their roles in agricultural labor
as beasts of burden.
Modern interest in horses ranges from the serious thoroughbred horse
breeders, trainers, and jockeys whose work we enjoy at events such as
the Breeder's Cup, which will be run later this month, to the thousands
of Americans who enjoy riding horses with no concern for ribbons or
money, but as a welcome respite from their otherwise hectic lives and a
link to the past.
The horse industry is highly diverse, and supports a wide variety of
activities in all regions of the country; from the pastoral activities
of breeding, training, and riding horses to more urban pursuits such as
horse shows and competitive racing.
In terms of economic impact, the horse industry directly employs more
people than railroads, radio and television broadcasting, petroleum and
coal, and tobacco. In fact, the industry's contribution to the U.S.
Gross Domestic Product is estimated at over $100 billion, only slightly
less than the
[[Page S10748]]
apparel and textile manufacturing industries.
While the role of the horse in the daily life and economy of the
United States has changed much over the past two hundred years, it
still remains a strong and influential force in both our collective
imagination and daily lives.

SENATE RESOLUTION 453--EXPESSING THE SENSE OF THE SENATE THAT THE
UNITED STATES SHOULD PREPARE A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY FOR ADVANCING AND
ENTERING INTO INTERNATIONAL NEGOTIATIONS ON A BINDING AGREEMENT THAT
WOULD SWIFTLY REDUCE GLOBAL MERCURY USE AND POLLUTION TO LEVELS
SUFFICIENT TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Mr. JEFFORDS (for himself, Mr. Chafee, Mr. Sarbanes, Ms. Snowe, Mr.
Lieberman, Mr. Leahy, Mr. Dayton, and Mr. Lautenberg) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations:
S. Res. 453
Whereas mercury is a persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic
heavy metal;
Whereas mercury is found naturally in the environment but
is also emitted into the air, land, and water in various
forms in the United States and around the world during fossil
fuel combustion, waste incineration, chlor-alkali production,
mining, and other industrial processes, as well as during the
production, use, and disposal of various products;
Whereas mercury air pollution has the ability to both
deposit locally and travel thousands of miles in a global
atmospheric pool of emissions before eventual deposition,
crossing national boundaries and becoming a shared global
burden;
Whereas the United Nations Environment Programme reported
that, on average, anthropogenic emissions of mercury since
pre-industrial times have resulted in 50- to 300-percent
increases in deposition rates around the world;
Whereas the United Nations Environment Programme reported
that global consumption of mercury equaled 3,337 tons in
1996, and that all mercury releases to the global environment
total approximately 5,000 tons each year;
Whereas mercury air pollution can deposit into lakes,
streams, and the oceans where it is transformed into toxic
methylmercury and bioaccumulates in fish and fish-eating
wildlife;
Whereas the National Academy of Sciences confirmed that
consumption of mercury-contaminated fish and seafood by
pregnant women can cause serious neurodevelopmental harm in
the fetus, including such detrimental effects as intelligence
quotient deficits, abnormal muscle tone, decreases in motor
function, attention, or visuospatial performance, mental
retardation, seizure disorders, cerebral palsy, blindness,
and deafness;
Whereas the 1997 Mercury Study Report submitted by the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to
Congress found that every region of the United States is
adversely affected by mercury deposition;
Whereas the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental
Protection Agency, and 48 States currently have advisories
warning the public to limit consumption of certain fish that
are high in mercury content;
Whereas, of the 4,000,000 children born every year in the
United States, scientists at the Environmental Protection
Agency estimate that approximately 630,000 are exposed to
mercury levels in the womb above the safe health threshold,
caused primarily by maternal consumption of mercury-tainted
fish;
Whereas these health and environmental effects of mercury
contamination can impose significant social and economic
costs in the form of increased medical care, special
educational and occupational needs, reduced economic
performance, and disruptions in recreational and commercial
fishing and hunting, and can create disproportionate health,
social, and economic impacts among subpopulations dependent
on subsistence fishing;
Whereas the Environmental Protection Agency has estimated
that the United States is a net emitter of mercury in that
the United States contributes 3 times as much mercury to the
global atmospheric pool of air emissions as it receives
through deposition;
Whereas the United States Geological Survey has not
reported mercury consumption figures for key sectors in the
United States economy since 1996, thereby creating important
information gaps relating to domestic mercury use and trade;
Whereas the quantity of domestic fugitive chlor-alkali
sector emissions has been labeled an enigma by the
Environmental Protection Agency;
Whereas, in accordance with Public Law 101-549 (commonly
known as the ``Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990'') (42 U.S.C.
7401 et seq.), the Environmental Protection Agency determined
in December 2000 that a maximum achievable control technology
standard for mercury and other air toxic emissions for
electric utility steam generating units in the United States
is appropriate and necessary, and listed coal- and oil-fired
electric utility steam generating units for regulation,
thereby triggering a statutory requirement that maximum
achievable controls be implemented at every existing coal-
and oil-fired electric utility steam generating unit by not
later than December 2005;
Whereas other major stationary sources have already
implemented maximum achievable control technology standards
for mercury and other air toxics, as required by the Clean
Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.);
Whereas effective mercury and other heavy metal removal
techniques have been demonstrated and are available on an
industrial scale in the major stationary source categories;
Whereas the lack of effective emission control standards in
other countries can give foreign industries a competitive
advantage over United States businesses;
Whereas alternatives and substitutes have been demonstrated
and are available to reduce or eliminate mercury use in most
products and processes;
Whereas the European Commission reports that mercury
mining, the closing of mercury cell chlor-alkali facilities,
and the phasing out of other outmoded industrial processes in
the United States and Europe are contributing significantly
to imports of mercury in the developing world;
Whereas the Department of Defense announced in April 2004
that it will consolidate and store its stockpile of
approximately 5,000 tons of mercury rather than allow the
surplus to enter the global marketplace;
Whereas from 1996 through 2004, the Environmental Council
of the States adopted or renewed 9 resolutions highlighting
the importance of substantially reducing mercury use and
releases in the United States and around the world, and of
managing excess supplies of mercury so that they do not enter
the global marketplace;
Whereas many States, including California, Connecticut,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont,
Washington, and Wisconsin, are already implementing their own
laws, regulations, and other strategies for tracking or
reducing various forms of mercury use and pollution, and the
Governors of States in New England have set a goal of
virtually eliminating mercury emissions in that region;
Whereas the European Commission is developing a mercury
strategy that is aimed at comprehensively addressing all
aspects of the mercury cycle, including the use, trade, and
release of mercury;
Whereas the United States is a party to the Protocol on
Heavy Metals of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary
Air Pollution, done at Aarhus, Denmark on June 24, 1998,
which entered into force in December 2003 and commits the
United States to a basic obligation to limit air emissions of
mercury and other heavy metals from new and existing sources,
within 2 and 8 years respectively, using the best available
techniques;
Whereas the current parties to the Convention and the
Protocol represent only a portion of anthropogenic emissions
of heavy metals annually that are subject to transboundary
atmospheric transport and are likely to have significant
adverse effects on human health or the environment;
Whereas the 22nd session of the United Nations Environment
Programme Governing Council concluded that there is
sufficient evidence in the Programme's Global Mercury
Assessment of significant global adverse impacts to warrant
international action to reduce the risks to human health and
the environment from releases of mercury;
Whereas the United Nations Environment Programme invited
submission of governmental views on medium- and long-term
actions on mercury and other heavy metals, which will be
synthesized into a report for presentation at the 23rd
session of the Governing Council occurring February 21 to 25,
2005, with a view to developing a legally binding instrument,
a non-legally binding instrument, or other measures or
actions; and
Whereas the United States has taken no position on any such
instrument: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the Sense of the Senate that--
(1) the United States should engage constructively and
proactively in international dialogue regarding mercury
pollution, use, mining, and trade; and
(2) the President should prepare a comprehensive strategy--
(A) to advance and enter into international negotiations on
a binding agreement that would--
(i) reduce global use, trade, and releases of mercury to
levels sufficient to protect public health and the
environment, including steps to--
(I) establish specific and stringent targets and schedules
for reductions in mercury use in the United States, and
emissions below levels for calendar year 2000, beyond current
domestic and global efforts;
(II) end primary mercury mining in the near future and
establish a system to ensure excess mercury supplies do not
enter the global marketplace; and
(III) require countries to develop regional and national
action plans to address mercury sources and uses;
[[Page S10749]]
(ii) include all countries that use, trade, or release
significant quantities of mercury into the environment from
anthropogenic sources;
(iii) require the application of the best available control
technologies and strategies to control releases from
industrial sectors in the very near future, including
minimizing releases from coal-fired power plants and
replacing obsolete mercury products and processes, including
the mercury cell chlor-alkali process;
(iv) contain mechanisms for promoting and funding the
transfer and adoption of less emitting technologies and
mercury-free processes, and for facilitating the safe cleanup
of mercury contamination;
(v) establish a standardized system to document and track
the use, production, and trade of mercury and mercury-
containing products, including a licensing requirement for
mercury traders; and
(vi) incorporate explicit mechanisms for adding toxic air
pollutants with similar characteristics in the future;
(B) to delineate the preferred structure, format,
participants, mechanisms, and resources necessary for
achieving and implementing the agreement described in
subparagraph (A);
(C) to enter into bilateral and multilateral agreements to
align global mercury production with reduced global demand
and minimize global mercury releases, while negotiating the
agreement described in subparagraph (A);
(D) to initiate and support a parallel international
research effort that does not delay current or planned
mercury pollution or use reduction efforts--
(i) to collect global data to support the development of a
comprehensive inventory of mercury use, mining, trade, and
releases; and
(ii) to develop less emitting technologies and technologies
to reduce the need for, and use of, mercury in commerce;
(E) to review monitoring capabilities and data collection
efforts of the United States for domestic mercury use, trade,
and releases to ensure there is sufficient information
available for any implementing legislation that may be
necessary for compliance with existing protocols and future
global mercury agreements;
(F) to work through existing international organizations,
such as the United Nations, the International Standards
Organization, and the World Trade Organization, to encourage
the development of programs, standards, and trade agreements
that will result in reduced use and trade of mercury, the
elimination of primary mercury mining, and reductions in
releases of mercury and other long-range transboundary air
pollutants; and
(G) not later than February 11, 2005, to submit to the
Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on
Environment and Public Works of the Senate a report on that
strategy, including a description of the ways in which the
strategy will be used and communicated at the 23rd Session of
the United Nations Environment Programme Governing Council.
