WHEREAS, the United States of America, as approved by the United
Nations and the Congress of the United States, utilized military
force to free the nation of Kuwait from the invasion and tyranny
imposed by Saddam Hussein and the military forces of Iraq; and
WHEREAS, every level of government as a representative of the
public is affected by and is vitally concerned with the well-being of
our Nation, its mission, and goals with regard to the Persian Gulf
War; and
WHEREAS, contrary to the position of a majority of persons in the
United States of America, the City of San Francisco appears to have
officially sanctioned opposition to the Persian Gulf War and taken
the position contrary to the public interest by declaring their
community to be a sanctuary for those who opposed the Gulf War; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rosemead is cognizant of freedom of
expression and the right to dissent, but does believe San Francisco
should be accountable for their position and should not benefit by
being the host City for numerous communities that strongly opposed
the official position of the City of San Francisco; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rosemead does not believe that it is the
best interest of League of California Cities to schedule a conference
in a City which has declared itself a sanctuary to persons who are
opposed to a policy supported by a vast majority of the people of the
United States.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, DOES
HEREBY FIND,_DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
