                               RESOLUTION


 
  Condemning in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks in Sharm el-
        Sheikh, Egypt, on July 23, 2005, and for other purposes.

Whereas on July 23, 2005, a series of explosions at tourist facilities in Sharm 
        el-Sheikh, Egypt, planned and carried out by terrorists, resulted in the 
        death of scores of civilians and the injury of hundreds of others;
Whereas the people of Egypt have been subjected to several other terrorist 
        deadly attacks over the past year;
Whereas Egypt's appointed ambassador to Iraq, Dr. Ihab al-Sherif, was kidnapped 
        and executed by terrorists in Baghdad during July 2005; and
Whereas President George W. Bush expressed the solidarity of the people and 
        Government of the United States with the people and Government of Egypt 
        during his visit to the Embassy of Egypt: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks 
        on Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt and other terrorist attacks directed 
        against Egypt;
            (2) expresses its condolences to the families and friends 
        of those individuals who were killed in the attacks and 
        expresses its sympathies to those individuals who have been 
        injured;
            (3) joins with President George W. Bush in expressing the 
        solidarity of the people and Government of the United States 
        with the people and Government of Egypt as they recover from 
        these cowardly and inhuman attacks; and
            (4) expresses its readiness to support the Egyptian 
        authorities in their efforts to bring to justice those 
        individuals responsible for the recent attacks in Egypt and to 
        pursue, disrupt, undermine, and dismantle the networks which 
        plan and carry out such attacks.
