                               RESOLUTION


 
   Condemning the terrorist attack in Beslan, Russia, that occurred 
beginning on September 1, 2004, expressing condolences to the families 
  of the individuals murdered in the terrorist attack, and for other 
                               purposes.

Whereas on September 1, 2004, terrorists attacked Middle School No. 1 in Beslan, 
        Russia;
Whereas more than 300 innocent civilians were ultimately massacred by the 
        terrorists, including women and children;
Whereas the acts of murder committed in Beslan, Russia, were a cowardly and 
        brutal manifestation of international terrorism;
Whereas various governments around the world have condemned the terrorist attack 
        in the strongest possible terms, and the Government of the Russian 
        Federation has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice at all costs;
Whereas the United States and the rest of the civilized world abhor and denounce 
        this hateful, repugnant, and loathsome act of terrorism;
Whereas terrorism continues to escalate throughout the world, making the safety 
        and security of all people a matter of serious and growing concern;
Whereas the United States and the Russian Federation share many values, 
        including a common interest in building a safe, stable, peaceful, and 
        prosperous world;
Whereas the acts of terror and murder committed in Beslan show once again that 
        terrorism respects neither boundaries nor borders; and
Whereas terrorists around the world intend to harm every nation that respects 
        democracy, plurality, liberty, equality, and the rule of law: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns in the strongest possible terms the terrorist 
        attack in Beslan, Russia, that occurred beginning on September 
        1, 2004;
            (2) expresses its condolences to the families of the 
        individuals murdered in the terrorist attack;
            (3) expresses sympathies to the individuals injured in the 
        attack and conveys its hope for the rapid and complete recovery 
        of all such individuals;
            (4) urges all nations to work cooperatively to eliminate 
        terrorist organizations and their membership who target the 
        civilized world; and
            (5) urges the international community to work together to 
        bring to justice the perpetrators of the terrorist attack in 
        Beslan, Russia.
