                               RESOLUTION

 
 Directing the Committee on House Administration to revoke and prevent 
  the registration of certain Congressional Member Organizations and 
                   Congressional Staff Organizations.

Whereas for decades there have been Congressional Member Organizations (commonly 
        referred to as caucuses) and Congressional Staff Organizations formed on 
        the basis of race, color, ethnicity, or national origin and who admit 
        and decline to admit members on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, or 
        national origin;
Whereas Congressional Member Organizations and Congressional Staff Organizations 
        formed on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, or national origin serve 
        as affinity groups to organize and advocate for the perceived interests 
        of a particular race, color, ethnicity, or national origin over others;
Whereas Representatives are expected to represent all of their constituents and 
        not favor or disfavor any individuals or groups on the basis of race, 
        color, ethnicity, or national origin;
Whereas admitting or declining to admit members to an organization on the basis 
        of race, color, ethnicity, or national origin is an act of 
        discrimination on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, or national 
        origin; and
Whereas providing recognition to Congressional Member Organizations or 
        Congressional Staff Organizations which discriminate on the basis of 
        race, color, ethnicity, or national origin affects the dignity and 
        integrity of the proceedings of the House: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Committee on House Administration shall revoke, 
and may not approve, the registration of any Congressional Member 
Organization or Congressional Staff Organization that--
            (1) is formed primarily or substantially on the basis of 
        race, color, ethnicity, or national origin;
            (2) admits or declines to admit members on the basis of 
        race, color, ethnicity, or national origin; or
            (3) organizes or advocates for the perceived interests of a 
        particular race, color, ethnicity, or national origin over 
        others.
                                 <all>
Directing the Committee on House Administration to revoke and prevent the registration of certain Congressional Member Organizations and Congressional Staff Organizations.
