HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 635 Offered January 23, 1995 Memorializing the Congress of the United States to cease the authorization of funds for any military purpose not authorized by the Congress and to refrain from consenting to the economic or political merger of the United States into any form of global government. ---------- Patrons--Katzen, Marshall, Purkey and Wardrup ---------- Referred to Committee on Rules ----------

WHEREAS, the President of the United States has affirmed that his foreign policy will be little changed from that of his predecessor regarding the deployment of U.S. military forces under the authority of the United Nations; and

WHEREAS, the constitutional role of the U.S. military is to protect the life, liberty, and property of American citizens and to defend the United States against insurrection or foreign invasion; and

WHEREAS, the United States is an independent sovereign nation and not a tributary of the United Nations; and

WHEREAS, there is no popular support in this country for the establishment of a “New World Order” or world sovereignty of any kind, under the auspices of the United Nations or any other form of global government; and

WHEREAS, global government would destroy the U.S. Constitution, would corrupt the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, and would jeopardize Americans’ freedom and way of life; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly hereby urge the Congress of the United States to refuse to appropriate funds for any military activity not authorized by Congress; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the General Assembly memorialize the Congress to refuse to authorize any U.S. military activity under the authority of the United Nations or any other world body; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the General Assembly request that the Congress cease rendering aid and consent to the establishment of a “New World Order” or any other form of global government and refrain from taking any further steps toward the economic or political merger of the United States into such a body; and, be it

RESOLVED FINALLY, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates transmit copies of this resolution to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and the members of the Virginia Congressional delegation so that they may be apprised of the sense of the General Assembly of Virginia.
