A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate condemning the failure of the International Whaling Commission to recognize the needs of Alaskan Eskimos.

Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the failure of the International Whaling Commission to renew aboriginal whaling quotas is inconsistent with the understandings on which the Commission is based and jeopardizes its continued existence as a meaningful international body; and (2) regardless of any Commission action, the U.S. Government should take steps to ensure the continuance of scientifically sound aboriginal subsistence whaling by the Inupiat people of Alaska.
