                               RESOLUTION


 
Condemning the terrorist attacks on the Delegation of Argentine Israeli 
Associations on July 18, 1994, and a Panamanian commuter plane on July 
                               20, 1994.

Whereas the bombing of the Delegation of Argentine Israeli Associations on July 
        18, 1994, is the deadliest attack on Jews in the Western Hemisphere to 
        date, and the worst attack on Jews outside Israel since World War II;
Whereas the attack on the Delegation of Argentine Israeli Associations was 
        directed at the center of Jewish life in Argentina;
Whereas the intimidation of the innocent continues through bomb threats against 
        the hospital that is caring for the victims of the attack;
Whereas on July 20, 1994, in another savage terrorist attack, a Panamanian 
        commuter plane was blown up, killing 21 persons, 12 of whom were Jewish;
Whereas the same Lebanon-based group, calling itself the ``Partisans of God'', 
        took responsibility for both diabolical acts;
Whereas terrorism, neo-Nazi activities, and anti-Semitic activity throughout the 
        world continue to escalate, and the safety and security of Jewish people 
        throughout the world is a matter of serious concern;
Whereas the kind of vicious hatred that motivated these attacks is still 
        prevalent in many countries throughout the world, including the United 
        States; and
Whereas terrorism must be condemned in the strongest terms whenever and wherever 
        it occurs: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) extends it condolences to the families and friends who 
        lost loved ones in the bombing of the Delegation of Argentine 
        Israeli Associations on July 18, 1994, and the Panamanian 
        commuter plane on July 20, 1994;
            (2) condemns these inhuman and unforgivable terrorist 
        attacks on innocent people, and calls for worldwide cooperation 
        in bringing the perpetrators of this crime against humanity to 
        justice;
            (3) expresses support for the Jewish communities in 
        Argentina and Panama, and their efforts to attain safety and 
        security in their own countries;
            (4) urges the governments and the people of Argentina and 
        Panama to continue to work to stamp out the scourge of anti-
        Semitism and neo-Nazism; and
            (5) condemns anti-Semitism, neo-Nazi activities, and 
        terrorism wherever they occur, and urges all the members of the 
        world community to do the same.
