                               RESOLUTION


 
Condemning the recent acts of international terrorism committed against 
  Jewish communities in Argentina, Panama, and Great Britain, and for 
                            other purposes.

Whereas, on September 13, 1993, Israel and the Palestinian Liberation 
        Organization opened a new era of Middle East peace negotiations;
Whereas, on July 27, 1994, Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan declared 
        their 46-year state of hostilities at an end, giving additional momentum 
        to the Middle East peace process;
Whereas, radical groups have repeatedly pledged to derail the peace process 
        through terrorist acts in the Middle East and around the world;
Whereas, on July 18, 1994, more than 100 people were killed and 230 were wounded 
        when a bomb exploded outside a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, 
        Argentina;
Whereas, on July 19, 1994, 21 people, more than one-half of whom were Jewish 
        businessmen, were killed when their aircraft was destroyed by a bomb 
        over Colon, Panama;
Whereas, on July 26, 1994, 14 people were wounded when a bomb exploded outside 
        the Embassy of Israel in London, Great Britain; and
Whereas, on July 27, 1994, 5 people were wounded when a bomb exploded outside a 
        Jewish community center in London, Great Britain: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) the Senate condemns the continued use of violence to 
        pursue political objectives;
            (2) the Senate condemns the worldwide targeting of Jewish 
        communities by terrorists determined to disrupt the Middle East 
        peace process;
            (3) the Senate commends the people of Argentina, of Panama, 
        and of Great Britain for the outrage they expressed in response 
        to these acts of terror; and
            (4) the Senate recognizes the efforts of Argentina, Panama, 
        and Great Britain to investigate these terrorist incidents, 
        urges their governments to commit any resources necessary to 
        apprehend the perpetrators, and urges adoption of any lawful 
        measures to prevent a recurrence of such horrible acts.
