	Alternative Dispute Resolution By Apology: Settlement By Saying I'm Sorry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Expressions of public apology have helped resolve a myriad of disputes, including a charge of contempt against a TV network for failing to abide by a judicial order, a lawsuit based on defamatory broadcast implying parents were partially responsible for their daughter's suicide, and a dispute involving the damaging "leak" of confidential government data.
		Once an apology is provided, the recipient may wish to utilize the apology, or convey it to others, in a way inconsistent with the desires of the party extending the apology.
		Apologies can be in the form of a letter from one party to another or in the form of a joint press release which includes quotations from one or both parties expressing regrets or making positive statements about each other.

	Apology Resolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The resolution was passed in the Senate by a vote of 65-34.
		The Apology resolution derives mainly from the Blount Report, which was compiled shortly after the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy (spring 1893).
		Although the Blount Report of July 17, 1893, upon which the Apology Resolution was based, was an official report of the U.S. government, it was followed by the Morgan Report on February 26, 1894, which after public hearings and testimony under oath found the Blount Report to be mistaken on many of the facts reported.

	OpinionJournal - THE OPPOSITE OF PROGRESS
		The Akaka Bill's justification rests substantially on a 1993 Apology Resolution passed by Congress and signed by President Clinton when we were members of the Senate representing the states of Washington and Colorado.
		The apology falsely maintained that Native Hawaiians never by plebiscite relinquished sovereignty to the U.S. In 1959, Native Hawaiians voted by at least a 2-to-1 margin for statehood in a plebiscite.
		Finally, the Apology Resolution and its misbegotten offspring, the Akaka Bill, betray this nation's sacred motto: E pluribus unum.

		Of all the divisive actions of the past seven years, the apology resolution may be the worst.
		It is open to the same constitutional concern that led the Supreme Court to nullify OHA elections: It is a racist action, violating the 14th amendment at least.
		One of the problems with the apology resolution is that many of its whereas clauses are based on erroneous statements, largely because no hearings were held on their wording.

	Senate OKs apology on lynching - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Senate yesterday passed a resolution of apology for its failure to pass anti-lynching legislation 101 years after the first such bill was introduced in Congress.
		The resolution is the first apology by Congress on the nation's past deeds of "terrorism" against fls, but senators said it was important to note that American Indians, Italians, Mexicans and Americans of other ethnicities were also subject to lynchings.
		Supporters of the resolution said this will only be a beginning in their effort to right the wrongs of slavery and government-sanctioned Jim Crow policies that denied fls the right to vote, eat and drink at the place of their choosing, among myriad other infringements.

	Doesn't the '93 Apology Resolution trump the Morgan Report? - TheMorganReport
		To suggest that this resolution is intended to expel non-Hawaiians from the State of Hawaii is something that even the most severe critics of this resolution in Hawaii would not even consider.
		As a token resolution, with no evidence presented, no debate on the merits, and an explicit disclaimer of its use in claims against the U.S., Public Law 103-150 cannot possibly be considered as an official finding of the Congress that trumps the Morgan Report.
		In terms of the Apology Bill, this clearly indicates that the clauses in the whereas section are not findings of fact, but conditions upon which the apology is given.

		McCain noted that the resolution was approved unanimously by the committee last year but never made it to a floor vote.
		What this resolution does do is recognize and honor the importance of Native Americans to this land and to our nation -— in the past and today -- and offers an official apology to the Native peoples for the poor and painful choices our government sometimes made to disregard its solemn word," he testified.
		Any apology would be worthless unless accompanied by "positive action" to correct and compensate for centuries of neglect, mismanagement and pain, he added.

		Brownback continued, "The resolution I am introducing today does not dismiss the valiance of our American soldiers who bravely fought for their families in wars between the United States and a number of the Indian Tribes.
		Nor does this resolution cast all the blame for the various battles on one side or another.
		The resolution of apology does not authorize or serve as a settlement of any claim against the United States and does not resolve many challenges still facing Native peoples, however, it does recognize the negative impact of numerous federal policies on Native peoples and cultures and strives to progress the process of reconciliation.

		While tribal leaders agreed the apology would be thankfully accepted, all acknowledged it would only be a first step toward reconciliation with a federal government that has broken almost every promise, both past and present, to the country's indigenous people.
		The resolution, Brownback said, doesn't dismiss ''the valiance'' of U.S. soldiers who fought the Indians or blame one side or the other for the battles.
		Apology and reconciliation is good medicine to the heart of a person or a nation.

		The resolution is the same resolution that passed the out of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs last year and specifically addresses the Trail of Tears, the Long Walk, the Wounded Knee Massacre, Assimilation and Termination policies and calls upon the President "bring healing to this land" by acknowledging the government's offensive history.
		A resolution of formal apology for "a long history of official depredations and ill-conceived policies" has been quietly cleared for a Senate vote, with proponents predicting passage.
		Pray that this Resolution of Apology to America's indigenous peoples be seen as complementary and helpful, rather than demeaning or competitive in any way with the pending needs for apology, reconciliation and justice to come to members of the African American community.

		While the focus of the new resolution has been changed to present a "clearer and stronger" civil rights perspective, the conclusions are the same, said Florin JACL President Andy Noguchi, a principal author of the original resolution.

Conyers; establish a national museum and memorial, similar to proposals made by Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, and Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Florida.
		Debate about my resolution erupted at about the same time President Clinton began his "National Dialogue on Race." Some dismissed it as "a meaningless gesture" or "an avoidance of problem-solving." Some felt, as I still do, that this apology was overdue.
		I hope the official apology my resolution seeks will be the start of a new healing between the people of our country.
