CONFERENCE FROM THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
WHEREAS, the United States of America, by direction of the
President of the United States, approved by the United Nations of
the World, and the Congress of the United States, engaged the
American military to free the nation of Kuwait from the invasion
of tyranny imposed by Saddam Hussein, Dictator of Iraq, 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 the United States of
America and the people of the United States, the City of San
Francisco appears to have officially sanctioned opposition to the
Persian Gulf War and taken the opposition 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 Lynwood 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,
