                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the terrorist bombing in 
                 the Jerusalem market on July 30, 1997.

Whereas, on July 30, 1997, two terrorist bombs exploded almost simultaneously in 
        an open-air Jerusalem market, killing at least 18 people, and wounding 
        more than 100; and
Whereas this attack is a violent and vicious attack against the peace process 
        and against the people of Israel: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) expresses the deep condolences of the Congress and the 
        American people to the people of Israel for the loss of life 
        and the serious injuries that have been suffered in the 
        terrorist bombing in the Jerusalem market and expresses the 
        solidarity of the American people with the people of Israel in 
        the wake of this tragic and senseless act;
            (2) expresses the determination of the Congress to join 
        with the Government of Israel in fighting against terrorism;
            (3) urges Yasser Arafat and officials of the Palestinian 
        Authority to do more to combat terrorism and to eliminate 
        terrorist networks in areas under their control;
            (4) calls on Yasser Arafat and officials of the Palestinian 
        Authority to cooperate more intensively with the Israeli 
        government in fighting terrorism; and
            (5) reaffirms the commitment of the United States Congress 
        to peace in the Middle East and urges all parties to work to 
        bring an end to terrorism to promote lasting peace and security 
        in the region.
