                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that United States foreign policy 
  with respect to the Middle East peace process should not include an 
  attempt to require Israel to make concessions which Israel does not 
 believe to be in its self-interest, including concessions which would 
                   jeopardize the security of Israel.

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) United States foreign policy with respect to the Middle 
        East peace process should not include an attempt to require 
        Israel to make concessions which Israel does not believe to be 
        in its self-interest, including concessions which would 
        jeopardize the security of Israel; and
            (2) the role of the United States in such peace process 
        should be that of a facilitator in an attempt to bring the 
        parties to the peace process to a mutual agreement as opposed 
        to declaring the terms of the agreement on a unilateral basis.
