Plain-English summary
Calls upon Secretary of State Colin Powell to lead the U.S. delegation to South Africa for the United Nations World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance (WCAR). Urges the Bush Administration to: (1) increase U.S. support for WCAR by providing financial assistance commensurate with the U.S. financial commitment to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women and other similar fora; and (2) adopt policy positions at WCAR that seek to advance an enlightened understanding of both the historic and contemporary factors contributing to current-day problems of racism and related intolerance.
