                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the condolences of the House of Representatives to the 
   victims, their families and friends, and the people of the United 
Kingdom for the loss suffered during the terrorist attacks in London on 
                             July 7, 2005.

Whereas on July 7, 2005, the United Kingdom suffered unconscionable terrorist 
        attacks with four coordinated deadly explosions occurring in different 
        locations in London;
Whereas the terrorist attacks took place during the morning rush hour on 
        commuter trains and a bus clearly targeting innocent civilians on their 
        way to work;
Whereas more than 50 individuals were killed and more than 700 individuals were 
        injured in the terrorist attacks;
Whereas these acts of murder and mayhem were cowardly and brutal manifestations 
        of terrorism;
Whereas these terrorist attacks on the United Kingdom pose a threat to the 
        regional peace and the security of Europe and the civilized world;
Whereas the United States and the United Kingdom have a longstanding, strong, 
        and enduring friendship;
Whereas the United States and the United Kingdom are allied in shared values and 
        a common interest in building a stable, peaceful, prosperous, and free 
        world;
Whereas the United States and the United Kingdom are equally committed to the 
        continued strengthening of cooperation between the United States and 
        Europe;
Whereas the Government of the United Kingdom immediately and unequivocally 
        condemned the terrorist attacks that occurred on July 7, 2005, and has 
        vowed to bring the perpetrators of these attacks to justice; and
Whereas terrorism must be condemned in the strongest terms whenever and wherever 
        it occurs: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns in the strongest possible terms the terrorist 
        attacks in London that occurred on July 7, 2005;
            (2) expresses its deepest condolences to the victims, their 
        families and friends, and the people of the United Kingdom for 
        the loss suffered during these terrorist attacks;
            (3) expresses its sympathies to the individuals injured in 
        the attacks and conveys its hope for the rapid and complete 
        recovery of all such injured individuals; and
            (4) calls on the President to provide to the Government of 
        the United Kingdom expert assistance for investigation of these 
        terrorist attacks and to work together with our ally, the 
        United Kingdom, to bring to justice the perpetrators of these 
        and other terrorist attacks.
