	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SJR 27, as amended, Yee. Reunification of Ireland.
   This measure would express the California Legislature's strong
support for Irish reunification by all peaceful means and would urge
the California Congressional delegation to support the final
reunification of the island of Ireland by all electoral and
diplomatic means necessary.
   Fiscal committee: no.



   WHEREAS, The logic of history, international law, human rights,
and peace dictate the reunification of the island of Ireland, and the
realities of the moment, including the Good Friday Agreement and the
development of the all-Ireland institutions of governance, attest to
this momentum; and
   WHEREAS, In the past, the State Legislature adopted the MacBride
Principles for Northern Ireland and offered its informal endorsement
of the Good Friday Agreement among the previously warring parties;
and
   WHEREAS, The contribution of Irish-born and Irish Americans to
this state  and   to  this nation are
legion; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate and the Assembly of the State of
California, jointly, That the Legislature strongly supports Irish
reunification by all peaceful means and urges the California
Congressional delegation to support the final reunification of the
island of Ireland by all electoral and diplomatic means necessary;
and be it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the President and Vice President of the United States,
to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to the President pro
Tempore of the Senate, to each Senator and Representative from
California in the Congress of the United States, and to the United
States Secretary of State.
