                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing sympathy for those murdered and injured in the terrorist 
 attack in Bali, Indonesia, on October 12, 2002, extending condolences 
  to their families, and standing in solidarity with Australia in the 
                        fight against terrorism.

Whereas more than 180 innocent people were murdered and at least 300 injured by 
        a cowardly and brutal terrorist bombing of a nightclub in Bali, 
        Indonesia, on October 12, 2002, the worst terrorist incident since 
        September 11, 2001;
Whereas those killed include two United States citizens, as well as citizens 
        from Germany, the United Kingdom, and Canada, but the vast majority of 
        those killed and injured were Australian, with more than 220 Australians 
        still missing;
Whereas two American citizens are still missing;
Whereas this bloody attack appears to be part of an ongoing terror campaign by 
        al-Qaida, and strong evidence exists that suggests the involvement of 
        al-Qaida, together with Jemaah Islamiah, in this attack; and
Whereas the people of the United States and Australia have developed a strong 
        friendship based on mutual respect for democracy and freedom: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) expresses its deepest condolences and sympathies to the 
        families of the American victims, to the other families of 
        those murdered and injured in this heinous attack, and to the 
        people of Australia, Great Britain, Canada, and Germany;
            (2) condemns in the strongest possible terms the vicious 
        terrorist attacks of October 12, 2002, in Bali, Indonesia;
            (3) expresses the solidarity of the United States with 
        Australia in our common struggle against terrorism;
            (4) supports the Government of Australia in its call for 
        the al-Qaida-linked Jemaah Islamiah to be listed by the United 
        Nations as a terrorist group;
            (5) urges the Secretary of State to designate Jemaah 
        Islamiah as a foreign terrorist organization; and
            (6) calls on the Government of Indonesia to take every 
        appropriate measure to bring to justice those responsible for 
        this reprehensible attack.
