                            August 11, 1994

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the United States Embassy in 
Israel should, at the earliest possible date, be relocated to the city 
                             of Jerusalem.

Whereas each sovereign nation, under international law and custom, chooses its 
        own capital city;
Whereas the state of Israel has selected Jerusalem as its capital city; and
Whereas Israel is the only country in which the United States Embassy is not 
        located in the designated capital of the country: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that the United States Embassy and 
the residence of the United States Ambassador in Israel should be moved 
to Jerusalem at the earliest possible date in accordance with 
international custom that embassies are located in the capital city of 
the host nation.
