                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the condolences of the Senate to the family of Daniel Pearl.

Whereas Daniel Pearl was a highly respected journalist with keen insight into 
        world affairs;
Whereas Daniel Pearl's high standards of integrity and his quest for knowledge 
        were a credit to his profession;
Whereas in his reporting, Daniel Pearl made a significant contribution to our 
        Nation through his thoughtful analysis of current events;
Whereas in his conduct Daniel Pearl embodied the American ideal of a free and 
        vigorous press;
Whereas America's war against terrorism is in defense of our fundamental 
        Constitutional principles, including defense of our First Amendment 
        liberties;
Whereas barbaric acts were committed against a citizen of the United States; and
Whereas the United States is determined to vigorously pursue and punish the 
        perpetrators of this unjustified taking of human life: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) mourns the death of Daniel Pearl and expresses its 
        condolences to his wife, unborn child, and family; and
            (2) salutes Daniel Pearl for his principled and fearless 
        pursuit of journalistic excellence.
