[H. Res. 120 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                         April 3, 1995.
Whereas on Saturday, March 25, 1995, an Iraqi court sentenced 2 Americans, 
        William Barloon and David Daliberti, to 8 years imprisonment for 
        allegedly entering Iraq without permission;
Whereas the 2 men were tried, convicted, and sentenced in what was reported to 
        be a very brief period during that day with no other Americans present 
        and with their only legal counsel having been appointed by the 
        Government of Iraq;
Whereas the Department of State has stated that the 2 Americans have committed 
        no offense justifying imprisonment and has demanded that they be 
        released immediately; and
Whereas this harsh sentence is unjustified and further distances Iraq from the 
        international community: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) strongly condemns the unjustified actions taken by the 
        Government of Iraq against American citizens William Barloon 
        and David Daliberti and demands their immediate release from 
        prison and safe exit from Iraq; and
            (2) urges the President to take all appropriate action to 
        assure their prompt release and safe exit from Iraq.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
