Concurrent Resolution
Whereas in countries now engaged in war there are several hundreds of
thousands of Armenians in need of food, clothing, and shelter; and
Whereas great numbers of them have been required by conditions growing out
of the state of war to leave their homes and their property, deprived of an
opportunity to make provision for their most elementary wants, causing
starvation, disease, and untold suffering; and
Whereas the people of the United States of America have learned with sorrow
of this terrible plight of great numbers of human beings and have most
generously responded to the cry for help whenever such an appeal has reached
them: Therefore be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That, in
view of the misery, wretchedness, and hardships which these people are
suffering, the President of the United States be respectfully asked to
designate a day on which the citizens of this country may give expression to
their sympathy by contributing to the funds now being raised for the relief
of the Armenians in the belligerent countries.
Passed the Senate February 9, 1916.
Attest: James M. Baker, Secretary.
64th Congress
1st Session
House of Representatives
Report No. 837.
Relief of Armenians.
June 21, 1916. — Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Flood, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, submitted the following
Report.
[To accompany S. Con. Res. 12.]
The Committee on Foreign Affairs, to which was referred the resolution S.
Con. Res. 12, having had the same under consideration, reports the said
resolution back without amendment and with the recommendation that the same
be passed.
The committee deems it unnecessary to give reasons for its action, as the
desperate condition and the urgent need of relief for the Armenians are so
widely known. The purpose of the resolution is to give an impetus to the
untiring efforts of the generous people of this country who have been
responding to the call of humanity and to the relief of these suffering
people. Our ambassador to Turkey has authorized the American Committee for
Armenian Relief to publish a letter, from which the quotation following is
taken:
I again want to urge upon your committee the great necessity of securing
additional funds to enable us to render further assistance to the Armenian
sufferers.
If you could only bring home to the public the large amount of good done by
the expenditure of the funds already sent us and the number of people we
were able to save from dire distress, I feel convinced that there would be a
generous and prompt response
