 Condemning the military coup d'etat of May 26, 1997, in Sierra Leone.

Whereas on May 26, 1997, a military coup d'etat of the Government of Sierra 
        Leone took place;
Whereas the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC) has claimed responsibility for 
        this coup d'etat; and
Whereas there has been fighting, killing, looting, and a disruption of relief 
        supplies in Sierra Leone since the coup d'etat: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) condemns the military coup d'etat of May 26, 1997, in 
        Sierra Leone;
            (2) urges an immediate end to all violence in Sierra Leone; 
        and
            (3) calls on the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC) to 
        return to power the elected leadership and parliament of Sierra 
        Leone.
