6 alleged wrong doing associated with the covert resupply of the
7 Nicaraguan Democratic Resistance, the hostage extraction

9 to be known to the public as the Iran/Contra Affair; and
10 WHEREAS, These matters have been fully investigated and
11 prosecuted; and

13 him, the Independent Counsel's Office remains open at a cost of

16 and is even more unacceptable now considering the Federal
1 deficit; therefore be it
2 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives memorialize the
3 Congress to immediately terminate funding for the Office of
