                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of Congress that, during this holiday season, 
                 peace may prevail in the Middle East.

Whereas Christians, Jews, and Muslims look to this season as a holiday time to 
        celebrate and reflect on the highest aspirations of humankind;
Whereas the holy places of these religions are jeopardized by continued 
        conflict;
Whereas this holiday season presents an opportunity for renewal and hope;
Whereas acts of violence have replaced acts of peace in Israel and the 
        Palestinian territories; and
Whereas a sincere desire for peace is held by a vast majority of those residing 
        in the troubled region: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the House--
            (1) expresses its deepest sorrow over the loss of innocent 
        lives; and
            (2) expresses its deepest hope for a time of reflection and 
        a sustainable peace for all parties during this holiday season 
        and for the year to come.
