Expressing the sense of Congress with respect to the urgency of cessation of hostilities in the Republic of Haiti.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
